The holiday season is a time of reflection, and each of us at Celiac Disease Foundation want to thank you for all that you have done this year. You can…

One year ago, Celiac Disease Foundation introduced our School Nurse Awareness Plan (SNAP!) Back-to-School outreach campaign. Since then, with your generous support, our Chapters have educated more than 2,000 school nurses and health aides throughout the country in the diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. This fall, we are extending our Back-to-School campaign, at your request, to include outreach to physician offices. Through our Community Engagement Survey, you asked that CDF create a program to allow you to directly participate in educating our school health workers and our medical community about celiac disease. CDF now proudly presents the 2014 Back-to-School Advocacy Campaign where by making a gift or by ordering Patient Info Cards to put in your physician’s office, or a “Why Does My Stomach Hurt All the Time?” Poster for your school health office, you are helping thousands of children and their parents get the help they need to reach a timely diagnosis.

Since inception in 1990, Celiac Disease Foundation has been at the forefront of celiac disease research and education. From sponsoring the first serology workshop that led to today’s celiac disease blood test, advocating on Capitol Hill for gluten-free labeling laws, partnering with mainstream manufacturers in creating today’s gluten-free marketplace, to launching a nationwide support network, CDF has played a crucial role in improving the lives of those with celiac disease and their loved ones. CDF is proud of its accomplishments during 2013. We couldn’t have done it without your generous support. Read more about how we have continued to drive diagnosis rates in the fight against celiac disease.

Dear CDF Friends and Supporters, A number of our committed supporters have asked me why Celiac Disease Foundation applauds the FDA’s gluten-free labeling rule. As you well know, all FDA-regulated foods including dietary supplements bearing the claim “gluten-free” must contain less than 20 ppm [parts per million] of gluten. Health policy at Celiac Disease Foundation is directed by our Medical Advisory Board, comprised of globally respected experts in celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

It is said that a man is at his tallest when he stoops to help a child. On behalf of the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) and the community we serve, thank…
