LEAVE THE WHEAT IN THE FIELDS

I haven't been posting as much lately because I'm nearing the final stages of my graduate school capstone, which I'm scheduled to present in less than two weeks. The capstone project is www.celiacfiles.com and much is still needed to make this Web site complete!

Visit again for regular postings after March 23 (the big day).

Coming attractions will include two outstanding audio clips with world-famous celiac researchers -- Dr. Joseph Murray from the Mayo Clinic and Dr. Alessio Fasano from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Interestingly, both doctors left their celiac research in Europe initially assuming that prevalence of the disease would be far less here in the United States. How could rates be any higher than in Ireland or Italy?! Well, they're really not...and they'll tell you why in these interviews.

Also enjoy hearing from three celiacs I was honored to have interviewed in 2009. Wallace, Deborah, and Michael shared similar disease symptoms after years of misdiagnoses. All three maintain a fairly strict gluten-free diet.

And still, more to come are videos!

Have a good gluten-free week,
Julie
