Review for Celiac Sprue Association USA, Inc., Omaha, NE, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in the early 1940s. I discovered the Celiac Sprue Association in the 1980s and joined immediately. The organization has been a tremendous help in my disease education as well as member support. I joined the board in the early 1990s and have never worked with a group of more dedicated people.
