Readers in the Chicago, IL area: FREE Celiac disease screening.



The University of Chicago is holding FREE Celiac disease screenings on November 16, 2013. If you suspect that you (or someone you know) may have Celiac disease, sign up for this free screening.

On an average, it takes 11 years for an adult to be diagnosed with Celiac disease (it took yours truly over 15 years to be diagnosed with Celiac disease). For children, it takes going to 8 pediatricians in order to be diagnosed. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this opportunity.

The blood screening will be located on the 4th floor of the University of Chicago Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine, at 5758 S. Maryland Avenue.

You MUST pre-register for this free screening.
