Do you have family members, friends, neighbors who should have their blood
tested for celiac disease? Will these folks be in the area of Detroit,
Michigan / Windsor, Ontario on Saturday, March 18, 2000? If the answer is ,
"yes", or "I think so", please join us and help find out how many celiacs we
really have in the United States.
Tri-County Celiac Sprue Support Group (TCCSSG) will be having a blood draw,
in cooperation with the Univ. of Maryland-Center for Celiac Research (UM-CCR)
celiac sprue prevalence study, on Saturday, March 18, 2000 between the hours
of 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. We invite any first degree relatives of celiacs
(children, parents, siblings); any second degree relatives of celiacs
(grandchildren, grandparents, nieces, nephews, half-siblings); and anybody
else who's interested (aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc) to attend. A
single test tube of blood will be drawn by skilled medical practitioners and
the results sent confidentially ONLY to the participants at the address shown
on their registration form.
While you await your testing time, you may attend a presentation by Alessio
Fasano, M.D. Dr. Fasano is Co-Medical Director, with Karoly Horvath, M.D.,
Ph.D., of the prevalence study. There will also be a supervised activity
room for participants under 12 years of age.

the 18th, we ask everyone to fill out the registration form shown below and
