CELIAC DISEASE FOUNDATION

After my recent Albertsons post I was asked what exactly the Celiac Disease Foundation is. The following link is to a brochure created by the Celiac Disease Foundation. It outlines their mission statement, history, the basic symptoms of Celiac Disease, how you can get tested, and more info about their foundation. It is very informative and helps those less familiar with Celiac's understand the essential things they need to be aware of.

The Celiac Disease Foundation is a non-profit organization. They believe 1 out of 133 people are affected by Celiac's, and that 97% of people with Celiac Disease go undiagnosed. Thus, this organization is dedicated to informing, researching, and educating. You can find their site at
