This package is not limited to people newly-diagnosed as having celiac disease. Unfortunately, many people who have been diagnosed for some time have gaps in what they know which may result in them eating foods or drinking beverages that have gluten in them. 

The Celiac Disease Management Package fills in these important gaps so that those who must avoid gluten are confident that they have the information they need to make healthy gluten-free choices.
