Dietitians know better than most that celiac disease is the most common genetically induced food intolerance worldwide, with a prevalence around 1%—and growing!

As many of you have seen in your own clients, this autoimmune condition causes damage to the mucosa of the small intestine that results in a variety of clinical presentations. Left untreated, celiac disease may lead to complications and increased mortality.

This webinar, presented free of charge courtesy of the Dr. Schär Institute and the NASPGHAN Foundation, offers dietitians the insight and expertise of two respected experts in the study of this condition.

Alessio Fasano, MD, is chief of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, director of the Center for Celiac Research, and director of the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He is also a visiting professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.

Pam Cureton, RD, LDN, is chair of the Academy's Dietitians in Gluten Intolerance Diseases subunit of the Medical Nutrition Practice Group and works closely with Dr. Fasano at the MassGeneral Center for Celiac Research and the University of Maryland Celiac Program in Baltimore.
