MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 13, 2022 01:43 PM
From: Senator Amanda M. Cappelletti
To: All Senate members
Subject: National Celiac Awareness Month
 
In the near future, I will introduce a resolution recognizing May 2022 as National Celiac Awareness Month. Celiac disease is an inherited, often debilitating, autoimmune disease that hinders the body’s ability to properly absorb nutrients. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, it is estimated to impact 1 in 100 people worldwide and about 3 million Americans, including about 129,000 Pennsylvanians.   
 

Celiac disease is often misdiagnosed or only diagnosed after prolonged periods of ineffective treatment and undue suffering. Raising awareness within the medical community and the public could improve proper diagnosis and treatment and make living with the disease easier. Please join me in helping to increase awareness of this condition and honoring the groups and individuals impacted by it. 


Introduced as SR302
