Iowa State Celiac Conference

As I've said before in previous postings, one of the most important things to do when you're gluten free is to find others! Luckily for you, there's a conference coming up soon in Iowa (not too far from the Twin Cities).

Details of the Conference:

It is held on October 1, 2011at Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center in Okoboji, Iowa. Dr. Joseph Murray from Mayo Clinic and Hospitals in Rochester, MN will be the keynote speaker (he's VERY educated on Celiac Disease and has some great videos on Youtube). They will have a Registered Dietitiean, a session for parents with celiac children and will talk about preparing for emergencies and safely eating out. This year they will also have a food fair featuring vendors from across the country.

The website for the event is located here.

Thanks to Mary Jo Brunner of the St. Croix Valley Celiacs and Lona Lende for the heads up on this conference. I plan on attending and am excited to hear Dr. Joseph Murray from Mayo Clinic speak. I've utilized some of his videos to help others become educated on what Celiac Disease is and answer basic questions.
