FREE Gluten Free Care Packages
|
|
The Gluten-Free Care Package is a basket of gluten-free resources put together by the University of Chicago Celiac Research Center, including a gluten-free food guide, support group information and food samples to instruct patients on the gluten-free diet. Since the founding of the program in 2001, they have distributed thousands of Gluten-Free Care Packages to newly diagnosed patients with celiac disease, all over the country.
If you or your child has been diagnosed with celiac disease through a biopsy in the past three months, you can contact them at: (773) 702-7593 for your Gluten-Free Care Package. It will contain all the information you need tostart the gluten-free diet so that you can spend your energy getting well instead of looking for information.
