New Era Productions Announces Immediate Availability of a 2 DVD set, Understanding Celiac Disease And Gluten Intolerance: A Video Program For Patients

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 25, 2007 -- New Era Productions is proud to announce the immediate availability of a 2 DVD set, "Understanding Celiac Disease And Gluten Intolerance: A Video Program For Patients, Physicians and Healthcare Providers"

Celiac disease and gluten intolerance are poorly understood, with symptoms that mimic many other conditions. Patients with celiac disease often have GI complaints, but can also suffer from anemia, infertility, short stature, IBS, joint pain, osteoporosis, Type I diabetes, neurologic problems, and itchy skin rashes. It can often take more than a decade for a person with celiac disease to receive the correct diagnosis because patient and physician awareness has been lacking. But now with New Era Productions' instructional DVD set, everyone with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, as well as physicians, nurses, dieticians, family, friends, restaurant and food store owners, can educate themselves about this common disorder. State of the art 3D animation, as well as an easy menu for quick review of specific chapters, creates an easy learning experience for children, adults and healthcare providers. This complete set of information is available nowhere else.

Specific chapters are devoted to answering all of your questions about celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and wheat allergy, including;

1. Introduction and Overview

2. Definitions (celiac disease, gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, lactose intolerance, etc.)

3. Symptoms

4. Diagnosis (includes antibodies and genetic testing)

5. Celiac Disease & Diabetes

6. Complications (such as osteoporosis and cancer)

7. Treatment and Food Labeling (including new laws)

8. Research and Potential Treatments (cutting edge developments in new medications and vaccines to treat and prevent the condition)

9. The Gluten Free Diet (advice on shopping, alternative grains, etc)

10. Resource Guide and Sponsors- A comprehensive video resource directory of support groups, books, websites, dietary guides, gluten free foods, testing, supplements, and much more.
