Gluten-Free Event Hosted by The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University

The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University has done a terrific job organizing events to benefit celiac disease. I have participated in various events put on at the center, many of which catered to teenagers with celiac disease. I have attended a picnic in a Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital courtyard, gone ice skating in Central Park, and was treated to a gluten-free lunch aboard a sailboat traveling the Hudson River. These events have also allowed me to collaborate with teens my age, and have, at times, provided me not only with a gluten-free meal, but a source of support. Columbia's Celiac Disease Center also includes an amalgamation of well-versed gastroenterologists, including the well-known Dr. Peter Green. His book, Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic, has served as my main source of knowledge for the past five years. I was excited to receive this email, detailing another event hosted by the center!
