Dear List Members,
I am so happy that I want to share this piece of news with you!
A press release announces that today the members of the Italian parliament will be screened for Coeliac Disease. 
From the press release (translated from Italian):
"On wednesday May 16th volunteers of the Italian Coeliac Society will stand in front of the Parliament building to subject the parliament members to a first simple screening test for coeliac disease.
'It is a very quick test, you just need a blood drop from your finger' - explains Adriano Pucci, president of the Italian Coeliac Society - ' ... Since the frequency of coeliac disease, continuously rising, is nowadays about 1 case to 100-150 people, we expect to find between 4 and 10 parliament members affected by coeliac disease'."
I think this initiative is just fantastic!!! I hope it will be done in many other countries in the future.
Regards
Maria Paola
