A Fun & Informative Weekend with Special Guest and Gluten-Free Expert Melinda Dennis.
Throughout our travels we have encountered numerous adventurers diagnosed with Celiac disease, an autoimmune disease related to intolerance to gluten, and who had to take extra precautions just to ensure they could eat. At EMSTrek, we decided it was high time to create a trip that catered just to these individuals. For our Gluten-Free White Mountain Adventure, we have taken the worry and planning for meals out of the equation and left plenty of time for fun hiking trips, delicious meals, and even a little information on how to make living with a gluten intolerance easier in every day life.
EMSTrek has teamed up with registered dietitian and celiac disease expert Melinda Dennis to create a fun and informational weekend based on getting outside and living gluten-free. Melinda is currently the nutrition coordinator and research investigator in the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. She is also the founder of and nutrition advisor to the Healthy Villi Greater Boston Celiac/DH Support Group.With her expertise, each participant will come away from the weekend not only flush with color from being outside, but full of new tips and information to try out on his or her own.
Snack on specially designed energy bars to fuel you up a challenging hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and enjoy your gluten-free lunch as you gaze down on the Mt. Washington Valley from the top of a mountain. At night you will be treated to a full gluten-free dinner at Rafferty’s Pub or pizza from the Flatbread Co., along with lectures from Melinda Dennis on how to take charge of your diet. Finish your evenings with a soak in the Cranmore Mountain Lodge’s outdoor hot tub or play piano or games inside. Melinda is available for private consultations during the weekend – which can be scheduled in advance or while you are with us, time permitting.
