This week (October 15-19) is Celiac week on CNN! Each morning, they’ll be broadcasting a different segment on Celiac disease and it’s causes, symptoms, and treatments.

The schedule is as follows:

Monday the 15th: What is Celiac Disease?

Tuesday the 16th: Non-Gastrointestinal Complications of Celiac Disease.

Wednesday the 17th: Gluten-Free School Lunches

Thursday the 18th: Hope with Celiac Disease

Friday the 19th: Gluten-Free dining in restaurants

I believe that CNN will be posting the segments online if you can’t/don’t catch them as they are broadcast.  You can do a search of their video for Celiac and find Monday’s “What is Celiac Disease“.   It’s a short two minute teaser, but good to see some press on the subject.  The full segment can be seen at CeliacCentral.
