It’s time again for another National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) webinar!

Coming tomorrow, Wednesday, 02/20/13, at 8:30 PM EST (5:30PM PST) the webinar, “Sex and the Celiac: A Focus on Reproductive Health” will focus how celiac disease and reproductive health are commonly associated.

Let’s face it… when people think of celiac disease, they often just think of gastrointestinal health issues (aka: what goes on in the bathroom). But what many don’t know is that celiac disease can also impact what goes on in the bedroom too! Celiac disease can go hand-in-hand with reproductive system issues – complications such as infertility, miscarriages, stillbirths and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Plus, celiac disease can even have an impact on sexual libido.

Stephanie M. Moleski, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals discusses this popular topic, along with questions direct from the attendees of the webinar.

This webinar is a must attend for anyone with celiac disease that is planning for a family now, or will be in the future.

Can’t attend? A recording of each webinar will be posted along with the webinar slides within 72 hours after the live event ends. Download recorded webinars and slides at:http://www.celiaccentral.org/webinars/archive/

I wanted to let everyone know of a great webinar that is being offered this week on Thursday, 08/16/12. It is being sponsored by the good folks over at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) and is focusing on cross-contamination in restaurants and what we need to know.

This is an on-line webinar (aka: easy to attend) and is FREE! (What’s not to love about that?). The session will focus on three components: Education, Empowerment and Advocacy (which are also the cornerstone of the NFCA mission).

Cross Contamination in restaurants is such an important topic to learn about and take control of, yet it is something that many with celiac disease and other food allergies or intolerances fail to recognize as an enormous and significant threat when it comes to our health.

I am excited to attend this webinar and invite you to join me!

Believe it or not, summer is almost over and whether that makes you sad or glad, it’s the time of year to start planning for back-to-school.

And if you have a child with celiac disease (or a food allergy) you have even more to anticipate, plan for… and often times worry about.

That’s why I wanted to pass along to all BeFreeForMe.com members a special back-to-School webinar that is being sponsored by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA): Importance of School Nurse Education & How-To Strategies for Parents of Gluten-Free Kids.

It is taking place (right in the comfort of your own home!) on Thursday, August 25th, 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. This webinar is FREE of charge! All you need is your computer and a working internet connection.

This webinar which will focus upon your child’s gluten-free needs in and out of the classroom will be lead by Nina Spitzer, President of the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Greater Phoenix Chapter.

And although this webinar is focuses on children with celiac disease, I bet that it will also be very insightful for those that have children with food allergies and other food intolerances as well.

This webinar is sponsored by Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery and they’re giving away some awesome prizes to some lucky webinar participants.
