Hello,

Just wanted to let you know about a few Delete the Wheat gluten free events,

classes, blogs and projects!

I’ll be away from Nov 21-30th, so if you write me with questions, I’ll get

back to you after I return.

Thanks!

EMAILING:

If you have been receiving duplicate emails from me, please let me know and I

’ll fix the problem.

COSTA RICA:

The trip was cancelled due to poor registration numbers, but Eastern

Mountain Sports was encouraged by the interest level. Many people were very

enthusiastic but said that Thanksgiving was not a popular time to go on such a

trip.

Another common comment was: “I don’t think I’m in shape for that kind of

trip.†I can promise you this is not a “climb Kilimanjaro kind of†trip

–

there is plenty of time for rest, you can opt out of excursions, and they move

at

the group’s pace. I hope you’ll consider it next time. I’ll keep you

posted

on any EMS or other trips I do. If you would like to keep us on their radar

and express your interest in 2009 GLUTEN FREE trips to Costa Rica, Nepal or

other destinations, please email them directly: _becky@..._

TRAVEL BLOG

I wrote a blog on domestic and international travel for those with celiac

disease and gluten intolerance. It appeared on the website of my friend and

colleague, Tricia : _www.glutenfreedietitian.com_

(http://www.glutenfreedietitian.com/) . Please take a look and rate it, if you

like. This was my

first blog experience!

EVIDENCE ANALYSIS LIBRARY:

I am on a task force of national dietitians –we are writing guidelines on

medical nutrition therapy for celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Many of

the clinical questions we were asked to answer based on scientific evidence are

online and available for viewing by registered dietitians. The clinician

must be a member of the American Dietetic Association (_www.eatright.org_

(http://www.eatright.org/) ).

Have a wonderful winter!
