Building a Strong Foundation: Celiac Disease and Bone Health

November 15, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Join the Harvard Medical School Celiac Education & Research Program and the National Celiac Association for the second webinar in our Fall 2023 “Ask the Experts” series. Speakers will present on selected topics for 60 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for Q&A.

Bone health is a crucial topic for both children and adults with celiac disease, as bone can be adversely affected due to the inflammatory process and malabsorption of key nutrients.

This session will:

  • Address the prevalence and types of bone disease in the adult and pediatric celiac populations
  • Testing methods
  • Treatment options, including lifestyle modifications for bone health.
  • The importance of the gluten-free diet
  • The use of supplements, where appropriate.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available.
