nosed;

Whereas the average timeframe for diagnosing celiac disease 
in the United States is 11 years from the original onset 
of symptoms;

ciated with celiac disease are unknown; 
Whereas people with celiac disease tend to have other auto-
immune diseases as well; 
Whereas the only known treatment for celiac disease is strict 
adherence to a gluten-free diet; 
Whereas increased recognition and awareness of celiac dis-
ease will have a significant positive impact on the quality 
of life of people with celiac disease; and 
Whereas the Celiac Disease Foundation has designated May 
as National Celiac Awareness Month: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress—

Celiac Awareness Month; 
(2) should work with health care providers and 
celiac disease advocacy and education organizations 
to encourage screening and early detection of celiac 
disease; and
