Hi All,
I would like to invite members of the celiac community and the
medical/research community to come to Calgary May 29 & 30, 1999, and
participate in the National Conference of the Canadian Celiac
Association. As you can see, we will be hearing from world renowned
researchers and we will also be hearing about some practical issues in
dealing with celiac disease.
We are still looking for a lab that does ELISA or similar testing for
immune reactions to food, to send a representative to speak at one of
our break-out sessions. Other than that, and barring any unforseen
difficulties, the speakers are set. Here is the line-up:
