NOTE FROM ALICE BAST
NFCA Executive Director As the first month of 2007 comes to a close, we all have had time to make and break those sincerely-meant New Year’s resolutions. This year, I am going renew my good intentions with a dedication to just plain feeling good and having high hopes! All of us who have been diagnosed with celiac disease have a great deal to feel good about. We can stay healthy simply by maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle. No pills, no shots, no treatments--just a healthy diet of foods that are good for us. Every day brings new gluten-free items to conventional stores making shopping so much easier. Even gluten-free free beer has moved to the mainstream with the introduction of Redbridge from Anheuser-Busch, an NFCA sponsor. And, the Food and Drug Administration has proposed regulations for labeling food gluten-free. For those who still suffer or who have loved ones who await a correct diagnosis, there is tremendous hope for a bright future. Awareness of celiac disease is escalating at a rapid pace. The NFCA National Awareness Campaign and the efforts of other celiac groups have had a positive impact as the news media increasingly carry the story of celiac disease, the symptoms and the need for testing. Go to the NFCA website at www.celiaccentral.org to view three segments by CNN along with videos of other celiac segments aired recently. Be sure to look for the NFCA symptoms checklist while you are there! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! |
