<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> For a long time we have been waiting for a Celiac Center in the Boston, Massachusetts area. A while ago CSA had announced one at Beth Israel Deaconess- but when we checked it appeared to be in the formation stage. Now we can say that it is operational. Hal has long had received his care at Beth Israel and has had the benefit of working with Dr. Ciaran Kelly, who is the Director of the Center and is well known to many. Detlef Shuppan MD, PhD, a well known researcher from Germany , has recently joined the program. There are other disciplines involved which are listed on the site. For details about the programs of the Center you can go to their excellent web page. You can find the web page by going to Google and entering Celiac Center Beth Israel Deaconess. the URL ( if I type it correctly is ) http://bidmc.harvard.edu/default.asp?node_id=5449&leaf_id=9313. If you click on Physician and Nutritiionist Appointments-- you can get information on the background of each staff person as well as a bibliography of his/her research publications. If a publication is printed in blue you can click on it and you can read it on your screen with out having to do a search. (There is an excellent recent article with Shuppan as the first author on his listing.) There is information on Celiac, Celiac FAQs, Medical terminology, Links to other sites, Gluten free companies, Local stores etc. etc. For those who have had a relationship with Beth Israel Deaconess and for others who would like to support a Celiac Center in the New England Area, donations are now being accepted.
