Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...
hi celiac community -
i\'m doug, one of the founders of dailystrength, and i\'m so happy that y\'all have found a place to share stories, thoughts and concerns...it\'s why we built this site.
i just wanted to give you all a quick update on what\'s going on with the site, so you can better understand what\'s going on:
we\'ve been live for about 1 week now, and i\'m proud to tell you that you\'re really only seeing the tip of the DailyStrength iceberg...we are working full-time on a list of more than 30 new features, which we\'ll roll out shortly.
we\'re well aware of some of the bugs with our site (when you log in it should take you back to where you were, why is Gluten-Free diet listed many times in treatments, etc), and we\'re quickly attacking them. rest assured that the site is solid and will continue to be around for a long, long time.
coming soon are a number of new features, including:
a) a completely revamped Resources area, allowing folks to quickly list multiple resources (like good Gluten-free restaurantes or recipies), as well as rate and tag resources posted by others.
b) treatments is going to be completely blown out so that you can see what everyone else in the community thinks of a given technique, drug or therapy.
c) update alerts via email. enough so that you know what\'s going on, not so much that you get spammed.
d) much, much more (about 30 things are on the list...really).
we\'re glad you\'ve found us, and we hope you\'ll stay around for a long time. i can always be reached at doug@dailystrength.org.
hope you\'re having a nice weekend.

Free Screening of Living With Fibromyalgia in San Diego
Dear Simone,
You're invited to the San Diego premiere of the ground-breaking documentary film, Living With Fibromyalgia: A Journey of Hope and Understanding. This premiere is made possible by the generosity of the Fry Family Trust.
If you live in the area or know anybody in the area who would benefit from seeing this film, please join us on Thursday, March 22 at 7 PM at the Landmark Hillcrest Cinemas at 3965 5th Avenue in San Diego. The theater has three hours of free parking with validation.
Daneen Akers, the narrator of the film, feels that it's important to watch a film like this in a theater. "There's something inspiring and empowering about being in a big theater watching a film as a community of patients and family members," she said recently during an interview. "I think our culture values what we see on the big screen, so knowing that somebody valued a condition enough to make a film about gives patients and those loved ones validation that they aren't alone."
Seating is limited. Please RSVP to Tracey Cooper at 714-921-0150 or by email to tcooper@fmaware.org.

We have partnered with the National Fibromyalgia Association to help spread the word about fibromyalgia for the 2007 National Fibromyalgia Day. Help get the word out about fibromyalgia by hosting a screening in your local theater, community center, or your own living room!
The National Fibromyalgia Association has chosen Living With Fibromyalgia: A Journey of Hope and Understanding to be part of their Focus on Fibromyalgia campaign for the 2007 National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day during the weekend of May 11-13, 2007. Let your local community know about fibromyalgia by purchasing an Awareness Day Packet from the NFA. The packet includes everything you need to host a screening of the film and help get the word out to your friends and family, local community, and the media about fibromyalgia including a copy of the film, postcard invitations, flyers, and a CD with helpful templates.
Also, be sure to sign-up as a host with Brave New Theaters to list your screening so others in your area can attend your event. It's free to join and a great resource for letting others know about your event.
