Tina Turbin is a Contributing Writer for the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness Newsletter

I have met many lovely people and companies involved with this area of Celiac and Gluten Free. The amount of helpful and caring individuals is astonishing. The basic intention to help others is what seems to unite us all, the care to make this subject more tolerable, palatable and acceptable overall.
I am honored as a writer and researcher to be a contributing writer for the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness Newsletter. Please sign up for their monthly newsletters and become involved in your own way, even if you care to simple be better informed. These Newsletters have a wealth of information. I hope you enjoy my monthly column.
Here is just a bit of what the NFCA is all about:

Awareness brings treatment that, in turn, brings improvement of the quality of life for those with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Our goal is to reduce the time to diagnosis and, in the process, reduce the devastating impact of undiagnosed celiac disease, including the contraction of others diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and an “autoimmune cascade.”

NFCA is affiliated with the leading researchers internationally and supports collaboration and partnership among scientists and institutions to optimize research potential with the goal of improving the quality of life for those who have celiac disease.

Please visit www.celiaccentral.org and get better informed.
