Many of you waited a decade or more to FINALLY be diagnosed.

We can't wait a decade for doctors, dietitians, insurance companies,

or legislators to learn about celiac disease.

So far, 8 members of Congress GET IT - and have cosponsored Rep.

Lowey's bill H.Con.Res 70 to help raise awareness about celiac

disease and to urge more federal funding for celiac research.

Rep Arcuri, Michael A. [NY-24] Rep Frank, Barney [MA-

4]

Rep Goode, Virgil H., Jr. [VA-5] Rep Gordon, Bart [TN-

6]

Rep Kuhl, John R. "Randy", Jr. [NY-29] Rep Shays, Christopher [CT-

4]

Rep Udall, Mark [CO-2] Rep Waxman, Henry A. [CA-30]

Its time for the other Representatives get on board, too!

Take a few minutes and call your Representative 1.800.985.8762 and

ask them

to cosponsor H.Con.Res. 70, and urge its passage as soon as

possible.

On average, it takes 11 years for an individual to be diagnosed with

celiac disease. No one should have to wait a decade to find out they

have the most common genetic disorder of humankind. Now's the time

to raise awareness and to increase funding for celiac research.

Thank you.
