This summer, The Intestinal Health Institute is hosting a family camp in the Jemez mountains of New Mexico catering to individuals with food sensitivities.

Activities for parents and children will include archery, swimming, fishing, wall climbing, high ropes, riflery, and arts and crafts.

The American Celiac Disease Alliance is urging the celiac community to support the National Celiac Disease Awareness bill (HConRes 70), currently pending in Congress, which would help raise awareness about celiac disease, the world’s most common genetic disorder.
