Optimum health for people with celiac disease includes good mental health.

Dr. Ballou will share how gastrointestinal psychology treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy, is used in celiac disease as well as hands-on breathing techniques that can help common gastrointestinal symptoms. Lee Graham, Executive Director of the National Celiac Association will introduce the webinar and Amelie Therrien, MD, a gastroenterologist in the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, will moderate the session.
