<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Our celiac support group will be conducting an antibody screening in conjunction with the University of Maryland study (www.celiaccenter.org) on Sunday, March 12, 1-5 p.m. If you are interested in being tested, or having members of your family tested, please let me know before 2/14/2000 at which time I will be ordering the kits. You are encouraged to have asymptomatic as well as symptomatic first-degree relatives tested. There will be no charge but donations will be accepted to contribute to the study in which we are participating and we are asking that each person tested bring a self-addressed, stamped envelope in which your test results will be returned. The screening will take place at Carle Clinic North, University Ave, Urbana IL, room 301A-B. A videotape of talks given by the doctors involved in the U MD celiac incidence study will be available for viewing. We would like to offer samples of GF products and publications at the screening. If any GF vendors are willing to provide samples and company brochures, please contact me. We hope that people in the area take advantage of this opportunity to participate in this important study and identify family members with celiac disease. Sincerely, Kathy Harden Kathryn K.
