Definition: Celiac disease (CD) is used to reference the general requirement
to avoid gluten in the diet. The terms replaced are: celiac sprue, coeliac
disease, dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), and gluten sensitive enteropathy
(GSE). Except for direct quotations and medical reference to a disease, CD
will be the universal term used in this newsletter.
This issue of The Celiac ActionLine is extremely late for several reasons.
We appreciate your patience. A few items from the original publication date
were changed to reflect their status of March 97. The last issue of 1996 was
canceled. The good news is that the next issue is almost ready for printing.
Subscriptions: As The Celiac ActionLine enters its seventh year, a few
changes are required . Mary Alice Warren would be pleased with the
international standing that we obtained. This growth in responding to
requests for assistance and mailing costs have reached a new level.
Therefore, we must change the scope of our outreach.
Request for assistance outside of the local Florida area will be through the
Internet. Currently, we are using the Internet for limited distribution of
the newsletter and our support of the Celiac List and its reference files.
The only noticeable impact of this change will be the loss of a hard copy of
the newsletter being mailed to our distant readers. Our goal will be to
provide information in easy to obtain files.
A very large number of our subscribers have made generous donations to offset
printing and mailing costs. Everyone's donation has been exceptional and
reflects your appreciation for the information, but the volume has grown to
the point where it is hard to justify printing costs as part of the
hospital's outreach programs for mailings outside of the local area.
Therefore, we must establish an annual subscription requirement to
newsletters mailed outside of the local support group area. A standard used
with most newsletters is $20.00. We will continue to work with those on a
tight budget in obtaining the newsletter.
