  1. My daughter is an athlete and has Celiac Disease. We’ve been dealing w/ injury and proper nutrition. Would REALLY like to attend this webinar but am working at that time. Can I watch it back later somehow?

    1. Hi Stefanie, Often these webinars will offer a recorded version within a few days of the event for those who attended. This is not always the case but I’ve found it to be fairly often. If you are not registered with National Celiac Association here is a link to their site, https://nationalceliac.org/ perhaps they may have the event recorded and will share with you. They may even be able to to direct you to a local dietician who specializes in athletes with CD. Wishing you the best on your search.

  2. Hello. Would love to see this as my HS daughter is a very competitive swimmer who is also going to swim in college. Have seen a sports nutritionist that didn’t really help. Has a shoulder injury she is working though now. But my husband and I both work during the webinar. Is there any way to watch it back??
