The Embassy in Brussels arranged an event in<br />April where Finland was marketed as a model country in coping with coeliac<br />disease."</p><p><strong>"An Exceptional Number of Coeliac Patients in Finland."</strong></p><p>"Finland’s extensive knowledge of coeliac disease stems in part from the country’s<br />exceptionally high proportion of coeliac patients, around 1 per cent of the<br />adult population. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology<br />in 2007 measured the prevalence of coeliac disease at 0.45 per cent, which<br />according to Keliakia is probably the world’s highest rate of diagnosed coeliac<br />patients." </p></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">Check out http://www.gluten-freesimpicity.com/</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452623113738454803.post-60175792870908483212009-04-30T11:47:00.000-07:002009-04-30T11:54:00.966-07:00Texas Bishop Includes "Celiac" in Special "Swine Flue Directive"In a special "Directive" released to the press yesterday evening, regarding the "seriousness of the Swine Flu", Bishop Edmond Carmody, of the Diocese of Corpus Christi included "people with celiac or special needs" in his seven <a href="http://www.kiiitv.com/news/religion/44022232.html" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.kiiitv.com/news/religion/44022232.html">(7)-item list</a> of "directives to Priests regarding distribution of Communion in wake of N1H1 virus situation". <a href="http://www.gluten-freesimplicity.com/?p=2110" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.gluten-freesimplicity.com/?p=2110">Story...</a><br />In learning about Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free living one will find there are all sorts of ways to encounter Gluten-Contamination -- yes -- even in church.
