MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 7, 2021 03:42 PM
From: Senator Amanda M. Cappelletti
To: All Senate members
Subject: National Celiac Awareness Day (September 13th)
 
In the near future I will introduce a resolution recognizing September 13th 2021 as National Celiac Awareness Day. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to impact 1 in 100 people worldwide and about 3 million Americans, including about 129,000 Pennsylvanians. The connection between celiac disease and diet was first established by Dr. Samuel Gee who was born on September 13, 1839. 
 

Please join me in co-sponsoring this important resolution to raise awareness of Celiac Disease.



Introduced as SR181
