Los Angeles Times subscribers may have learned a thing or two about celiac disease over the weekend. A special report on “Celiac Awareness” was released in the March 11 publication, featuring profiles of individuals and families affected by celiac disease, as well as fast facts and updates on the gluten-free lifestyle.

The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) contributed to the special report, including an article titled “Solving the Diagnosis Dilemma,” about NFCA’s efforts to educate primary care providers through a free continuing medical education program at CeliacCMECentral.com.

“Being on the front lines of care, physicians need to be familiar with modern diagnostic methods, and have an understanding of treatment challenges that can affect health long after diagnosis, such as vitamin deficiencies,” said NFCA Founder & President Alice Bast.
