Editorial Reviews

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 the first of its kind!

This review is from: Understanding Celiac Disease And Gluten Intolerance: A Video Program For Patients, Physicians, And Health Care Providers (DVD)

I had never heard of Celiac Disease when my blood test came back positive. Between receiving the blood test results and having a biopsy to confirm the disease, I purchased and watched these DVDS. They are clear and thorough and were just what I needed to help understand the disease, the diagnosis process (blood test, biopsy, etc.), long term effects, and what the diagnosis means. They are not fancy (i.e. no special effects, dramatizations, etc.) but a great resource that I highly recommend to anyone who would like to learn more about Celiac Disease.
