| Your Help Needed for Survey on Gluten in Medications The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) has announced that it would conduct a first-of-its-kind research study on gluten in medications, funded by the FDA. NFCA, partnering with St. John's University College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, is conducting this research in two parts. The first part of the study is happening now: a survey of the celiac and gluten sensitive populations. NFCA’s Gluten in Medications Survey is available at www.CeliacCentral.org/Survey. NFCA urges all people who are following a gluten-free diet to participate. Participants will be asked about their experiences taking medicine. They will also be asked to share information if they think they might have had a gluten-related reaction to an over-the- counter or prescription medicine. This survey will take between 4 and 15 minutes to complete, depending on your responses. It closes on February 28, 2012 |
