ACTION Alert - Ask Congress to Pass H.Con.Res.70
According to the NIH Consensus Panel on Celiac Disease, six factors are key to the successful management of celiac disease:
- Consultation with a skilled dietitian;
- Education about the disease;
- Lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet;
- Identification and treatment of nutritional deficiencies;
- Access to an advocacy group;
- Continuous long-term followup by a multidisciplinary team.
H.Con.Res. 70, sponsored by Rep. Nita Lowey (NY), highlights the need for individuals with celiac disease to have access to nutritional counseling; the need for better education among physicians and other health professionals about the disease; and advocates for greater federal funding for celiac research.
