Affiliated American CSA Foundation, Inc.AACSA Foundation, Empowering CeliacsChallenge: Celiac disease affects more than 3 million Americans. About 2.5 million are undiagnosed and suffer needlessly. Challenge: Celiacs can't determine before eating whether the food on their plate contains gluten. Challenge: The FDA tests few products for gluten. Challenge: The American public remains largely unaware of celiac disease and how important it is for celiacs to adhere to a 100% gluten-free diet. Challenge: Technology, agriculture, foods and pharmaceuticals change rapidly. New research is required at an increasing rate. |
