The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness has had an exciting year of spreading the word and making a difference. Visit their Web site to see the programs that this dynamic organization has to reach out to the medical community, to those living with celiac disease and to those who feed us. The free medical education program for primary care physicians and their Celiac Disease and Women’s Health work this year have been personal favorites. It took years for my kids and I to get the help we needed and by educating the family doctors we all see when we first feel something is wrong and the care providers for women for all the celiac disease symptoms associated with the reproductive system will mean diagnosis will come sooner and healing and health will be regained faster. That has been my sincere wish and my passion since I started my blog. I’ve wanted to save women and children and families the heartbreak of ill-health, multiple miscarriage and misdiagnosis that robbed our family of nearly a decade. I’m asking you to print the brochure the NFCA has created on women’s health and the continuing education brochure and share them with your doctors. We can help others just by educating the care providers in our own lives. If you are on Facebook or Twitter, include the links to the brochures and spread the word.
I am so proud and honored to be included in the NFCA’s Celiac Awareness Month activities as the featured blogger for A Blogger A Day:The Gluten-Free Way on May 3. Their message of strength and empowerment is so important to healing ourselves and making the world more educated, aware and safer for those with celiac disease and gluten intolerance and for those not yet diagnosed. Please consider donating to NFCA to help them continue their great work.

Thanks, Nic. I just took a look at your blog and read your diagnosis story. So happy to hear you are doing better. That story s still far too typical and your awareness efforts will certainly save someone from your experience.
