<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone- As most people can probably agree, this list serve has been such a lifesaver. I am writing this to let you all know of my determination to increase CD awareness. I was diagnosed with celiac disease a little over a year ago and since then have tried to learn everything about CD. I am also a registered dietitian, which I thought would come in handy during my learning process. As I went back to all my books from school I was very suprised to find very little about the disease, so instead turned to the internet. I know some of you probably have had some bad experiences dealing with dietitians and probably know more than they do. Well, I am finally getting the opportunity to tell dietitians about CD. I am a member of the Chicago Dietetic Association. We have monthly meetings in which we have a different speaker come and talk about a nutrition related topics. Well, this coming year I made it a point to get celiac disease on the list. It worked, and Dr. Guiliano for the University of Chicago Celiac Disease program is coming to talk to DIETITIANS all about CD. I am sooo excited and just had to let everyone know about this. If you live in Chicago or surrounding area and are interested in attending send me a note and I will see what I can do. Thanks for all the wealth of info. Vicki Gainsberg Chicago
