Subject: Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University: Roundtable on
Celiac Disease -- Tuesday, September 15, 6:00 pm -- 8:00 pm

 

Due to many requests, the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University
has decided to host a Roundtable on Celiac Disease that deals with
individuals and their families' difficulties in living with celiac
disease.  The program will be held monthly and would deal with children,
adolescence and adult issues with respect to celiac disease.

 

Members of the Celiac Disease Center who will be attending the
Roundtable on Celiac Disease include adult and pediatric
gastroenterologists as well as our nutritionist.  We will conduct this
program in an interactive format allowing airing of views and questions
from all participants.  

 

The first Roundtable on Celiac Disease will be held on Tuesday,
September 15, 2009, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm in the Atchley Loeb Conference
Room located in the Columbia University Medical Center.  Parents of
young children with celiac disease are invited to attend.

 

While the issues that will be discussed will focus on the needs of the
participants, we anticipate that discussions could involve difficulties
with diagnosis, how should a celiac disease patient be followed
medically, what dietetic nutritional issues are important, who should
take vitamins, how to handle associated diseases and manifestations, how
to control weight, what to tell teachers and guidance counselors about
your child among other topics.

Attendance will be limited to 30 people so we would appreciate you
letting us know if you can attend.  If you are interested in
participating, please RSVP to [log in to unmask]  There is no charge
to participate.
