Topic: “The Environmental Impact of Gluten: The Past, The Present, The Future”

Time: 8:30 p.m. Eastern/5:30 p.m. Pacific
Speaker: Mark Hyman, MD, Founder and Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center, Lenox, Massachusetts
The increase in celiac disease and gluten sensitivity has begged the question, “Why now?” Experts hold different theories on the increased prevalence, ranging from the hygiene theory to infant feeding practices to the actual hybridization of wheat, a primary source of gluten. NFCA’s Webinar will focus on the latter theory, with an explanation of the ways in which wheat is processed and eaten has changed dramatically in the 21st century.

October
Topic: “Eating for Two: How-To Tips on Managing Celiac Disease and Diabetes”
Date: TBA
Speaker: TBA
Type 1 diabetics are at an increased risk for developing celiac disease, which adds a challenge to an already strict diet. In fact, both celiac disease and diabetes are associated with the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes and 3-8 % of people with type 1 diabetes will have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease. NFCA will review the research on the link between these two conditions and provide dietitians with strategies on how to successfully treat patients living gluten-free while also needing to manage their diabetes.
November
