Celiac Disease Program
Celiac Disease Program
The Celiac Disease Program and Support Group helps hundreds of member families cope with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that leads to damage of the small intestine and requires children to follow a strict, gluten-free diet.
Our expertise
We strive to make life easier and fun for families dealing with celiac disease. Our Celiac Family Health Education program includes online resources and take-home DVDs. In 2009, Children's Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition released the instructive comic book, "Amy Goes Gluten-Free: A Young Person's Guide to Celiac Disease."
