I would like to introduce a new gluten-free, dairy-free cookbook. Don?t Feed Me will give those who are new to the gluten-free, dairy-free lifestyle a basic understanding of the diet, an explanation of the ingredients and the necessary precautions to prevent cross-contamination. It will show them that the gluten-free, dairy-free diet is not impossible or restrictive.

When my granddaughter, Aivah, was diagnosed with Celiac disease and a casein allergy at 14 months of age, we began our long journey to find healthy and nutritious gluten-free, dairy-free foods to feed a small child. This has been a frustrating and enlightening experience that I would like to share with others.

Don?t Feed Me is currently available on Amazon.com for $16.95. I would like to offer your members an introductory 15% discount on every book ordered directly from me or through our web site at www.dontfeedme.com

If you have any questions, or to place an order, please contact me at joycen@dontfeedme.com

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Joyce Nielsen, Owner

NIH Launches Celiac Disease Web site

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently launched a campaign to heighten awareness of celiac disease among health care professionals and the public. The Celiac Disease Foundation has been collaborating with the NIH on this campaign, which is the result of recommendations from an independent consensus panel convened by the NIH in 2004.

The consensus panel concluded that as many as 1 percent of the U.S. population have celiac disease, but the vast majority remains undiagnosed. To address this disparity, the panel recommended that NIH spearhead efforts to educate health care providers and the public about the disease.

Initially, the campaign will focus on increasing awareness among health care professionals about the prevalence of celiac disease, its disparate symptoms, and the blood test to detect it. Other campaign messages will address the array of health consequences related to celiac disease with the goal of dispelling the common perception that it is only a gastrointestinal problem.

The campaign web site at www.celiac.nih.gov provides access to

educational materials and services
current NIH research about celiac disease
additional campaign information and resources, including an e-newsletter

The Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign is an initiative of the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, NIH.
