I am really excited about this upcoming webinar on the the gluten-free link between ADHD, autism & Celiac Disease. Some of Jon’s most apparent pre-diagnosis symptoms of Celiac Disease are also symptoms of ADHD. He wasn’t losing weight or having issues with diarrhea; he was inattentive, impulsive and his grades were dropping. Interestingly enough, he now gets sick when he accidentally eats gluten, where he didn’t use to before he started the gluten-free diet.
Join the NFCA in welcoming Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin, PhD, Training Director at Bay Area Family Therapy & Training Associates. More about the webinar:
Removing gluten from the diets of children with Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum, or a behavioral problem such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has become a common alternative treatment in managing these conditions. In response to the medical community’s historical skepticism with regard to managing psychological well-being through nutritional intervention, an increasing number of quality scientific research has been published recently to clarify the medical connection between these issues.
The “The Gluten-Free Link: ADHD, Autism & Celiac Disease” webinar will take place on Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 9:00 PM EST. This webinar is free of charge and only requires registration & an internet connection. Crunchmaster is sponsoring the webinar so that it can be free for all who wish to attend. Attendees can submit questions about the topic to Kristin Voorhees (kvoorhees@celiaccentral.org) prior to the webinar by February 21, 2012.
As always, archived webinars can be viewed here. They don’t just have the most recent, but going back quite a while on a myriad of topics pertaining to Celiac Disease & the gluten-free diet.
Have you attended an NFCA webinar in the past? If so, which one?
