Dietitians in Gluten and Gastrointestinal Disorders
About Us
Since its inception, DIGID has faithfully served its purpose to bring strong representation of gluten-related disorder to AND. In this short time, DIGID has brought together specializing dietitians to complete the Evidence Analysis Project, the Celiac Disease Toolkit, and soon to come will be a Certificate of Training in Gluten-Related Disorders. The pioneering leaders of DIGID have truly created widespread awareness among dietitians, industry, and government that has immeasurably improved care to patients with gluten-related disorders.
Now is the time to encompass even more practitioners and bring an equal level of evidence-based standards of care to the Academy for additional gastrointestinal disorders.
DIGID’s goals will continue to be:
- Establish and advance and standards of care in gastrointestinal disorders
- Work with federal and health agencies in establishing policies that are beneficial to persons with gastrointestinal disorders
- Develop education materials for patients and professionals
This year look for these upcoming enhancements to DIGID:
- Webinars
- Wider variety of newsletter articles
- Online resources for dietitians - handouts and websites
- Calendar of events for continuing education and patient support
- Speakers bureau
- Partnerships with industry
