Food allergies and intolerances are common additional dietary concerns for those diagnosed with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, which add to the challenges of eating gluten-free. NFCA’s Answers from a Dietitian blogger Melinda Dennis will provide dietitians with the knowledge and tools needed to successfully treat patients following the gluten-free diet who must also be mindful of other dietary allergies and intolerances. The discussion will also include tips to share with their patients.
Sponsored by Lucy's, this webinar is free of charge.
