NOTE FROM ALICE BAST
NFCA Executive Director

Welcome to CeliacCentral, the new monthly e-mail newsletter for the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA).  As executive director for the foundation, it brings me great pleasure to launch this new publication to further our mission of raising celiac disease awareness and getting the three million Americans with celiac disease properly diagnosed.

Through in-depth articles, we hope to thoroughly educate celiacs around the country about maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle as well as create a strong network of celiac awareness advocates. We hope that you’ll join our National Awareness Campaign and get involved in NFCA’s other exciting events such as the Gluten-Free Cooking Spree and Appetite for Awareness. Together, we can raise celiac awareness in a fun and entertaining way.

My first challenge to you is to join our Tell Five Friends campaign and tell five of your friends about celiac. Whether it be your best friend or someone you meet on a train, educate them about celiac disease because they might have it and not know. I spoke with a young celiac just last week who has helped 11 people diagnosed just by talking about celiac! So, get out and tell your story to help people get diagnosed!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading CeliacCentral!!

Happy reading!

Alice
