Presents its 2002 Annual Education Conference
in Winston Salem, NC
June 21-23, 2002
Adams Mark Hotel


A special program for physicians and allied health care professionals will be
held Friday, June 21. CME credits are pending on this program.


Friday, June 21 will offer:

Celiac Clinic - for persons who want to learn the basics, are newly diagnosed
or never got much education. This 3-hour program will include overviews of
the disease and diet. It will also include free screenings in the Health
Screening Clinic. This is an excellent way to gain a basic understanding of
the disease before learning more details in the main program.

Cooking Demonstrations - some of the leading cookbook authors, gluten free
manufacturers, dietitians, and local chefs will conduct 3-hour workshops. We
hope to have one just for kids.

Pre-Conference Reception - will be held in the exhibit area. This sneak
preview will allow medical professionals, clients and vendors to join
together to enjoy music, food, and good company.


June 22 - 23 Saturday and Sunday Programs - will provide a wealth of
information with some of the leading celiac disease researchers and
practitioners in the country. Learn about the latest research, associated
diseases, dental concerns, Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), and associated skin
diseases. Learn how to cope, work with the pharmacist and dietitian, and what
to be concerned about and more.

Buy products on site - from over 20 gluten free vendors; have authors sign
your books --- and don't forget the health screening! Find out what your bone
density is, are you at risk for diabetes and more.

Bring the Kids to GIG's Kids Day Camp - a 2-day program filled with fun
learning activities, speakers, and special treats.
