MEN AND WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH
CELIAC DISEASE
We are currently working with a research firm/pharmaceutical company that is
conducting a research study related to Celiac Disease. If you 18 years of age or
older and have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you may qualify for the
study.
The study would require that you speak to an interviewer for about an hour, and
you would be paid $100 for your time.
The purpose of the study is to gather information about patients' experiences and
treatment associated with Celiac Disease as well as the best way to measure those experiences and
the success of treatments. If interested, please call:
Plaza Research

GLUTEN FREE FOOD BRAND is asking for your help.
Many celiacs, especially those who have multiple food allergies, would like to

Please let your favorite market know that you would like for them to continue

Visit your local market and tell their gluten free food product manager how
