Help a local child with celiac disease
We met this little girl, Jennifer Lynn Kranz, and her family (pictured at left with her siblings) at the Gluten & Allergen Free Expo in San Mateo in January. She has celiac disease and was diagnosed with a "fast and furious" brain tumor on her 6th birthday. The family is trying to raise funds to help get her into a clinical trial and spend more time with her as a family. Please help if you can or write a note of encouragement on their website. http://www.loveforjlk.org/

Participate in a research study on breastfeeding and celiac disease
Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University is conducting a study on the breastfeeding experiences of healthy women and women with celiac disease. If you or a family member gave birth to a child in the last 10 years, please take a few moments to complete our survey. To contribute to the study, we ask that you take just a few minutes to fill out a survey. Participation is completely voluntary and anonymous.
The survey can be found via the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/breastfeedingexperience
There is no compensation for participating in this study, but the information you provide can help further our knowledge about celiac disease. If you have any questions about the study, please email celiac@columbia.edu or Danielle Heller at dh2478@columbia.edu.
