NOTE FROM ALICE BAST
NFCA Executive Director

With the holidays upon us, I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy holiday season!! I hope that everyone had a wonderful and delicious gluten-free Thanksgiving and that the food has digested!!

Here at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) we’ve been hard at work. In November, NFCA attended the International Celiac Disease Symposium where we had the opportunity to meet with celiac leaders from around the world. We tasted the most delicious gluten-free foods and left the symposium with renewed hope that 2007 will be the year to get folks with celiac disease accurately diagnosed. I want to congratulate everyone at the Columbia University Celiac Disease Center, especially Dr. Peter Green, for putting on an incredible program.

During the symposium, I was personally overwhelmed by the hundreds of women I met who have experienced reproductive complications related to celiac disease. Being surrounded by women who understand the reproductive consequences of celiac disease was an empowering experience and one that will shape the future of NFCA. To start, the January issue of CeliacCentral will feature a series of articles about the link between celiac disease and reproductive health.

I’m also thrilled to let everyone know, that NFCA has receive an early holiday gift. CNN Newsroom Anchor Heidi Collins has signed on as our official spokesperson!! You’ll read much more about Heidi and the work she’ll be doing with us throughout the newsletter, but I wanted to again welcome Heidi to the NFCA family!

Happy Holidays!

Alice
