International Celiac Disease Symposium, September 22-23, 2013



This year, the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center, will be hosting the 15th annual International Celiac Disease Symposium. This symposium is the largest Celiac Disease related conference in the world. Researchers, students, physicians, patients, families, friends, etc, will be in attendance.

The conference will focus on research that has been gathered about Celiac Disease, and related disorders. The University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center has been working relentlessly on something groundbreaking. They will be revealing their research at this conference. This research may hold the key to preventing, and curing Celiac Disease. Scientists will be discussing recent advances in the treatment of Celiac Disease, and related disorders. There will also be a separate area for patients, dietitians, and clinicians to learn more about Celiac Disease.

I will not be in attendance, but, I will be following the latest news on this conference. If, in fact, they have found a cure, everyone in the Celiac community, including myself, will be absolutely elated and floored by the news. I been following the work that has been done at the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center. They have been working hard at a cure. They are hoping to find a cure by 2026. They are truly doing amazing things, and I cannot wait until all their research is unveiled.
Stay tuned for more information, as it becomes available!
