Hello,
I was thrilled to attend the Digestive Disease National Coalition in Washington, DC last week. NCA Program Coordinator Carla Carter and I learned a lot and advocated for mandatory and clear labeling of gluten in prescription medications.
Together with the Celiac Research Program at Harvard Medical School, we are planning a day and a half long Celiac Conference for November 10-11, 2018. There will be many speakers, vendors and wonderful gluten-free meals. Our keynote speaker will be Francisco Leon, MD. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Boston. Hope to see you there!
I can't tell you how much we enjoy speaking with those of you who call our office. We answer the phones every weekday from 10 am to 3 pm Eastern Time. Hope you will take advantage and keep in touch!
Yours in health,
Lee Graham, Executive Director
