Bai, MD, adult gastroenterologist and Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the Research Institute of Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, will address the prevalence and types of bone disease in the adult and pediatric celiac populations, testing methods, and treatment options, including lifestyle modifications for bone health. Katarina Mollo, MEd, RDN, LDN, clinical dietitian at the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at MGfC, will discuss the importance of the gluten-free diet and the use of supplements, where appropriate.
Lee Graham, executive director of the National Celiac Association, will introduce the webinar, which will be moderated by Daniel Leffler, MD, expert celiac gastroenterologist at the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. A Q&A session will follow the presentations; please submit general questions when you register or during the webinar on the Zoom platform.
