Pakistan Society of Gastroenterology

Greetings, new developments can be seen in Pakistan and research in other parts of world on celiac disease. The recent Silver Jubilee Congress of Pakistan Society of Gastroenterology  at Lahore points to one. The conference apart from having doctors present on various gastrology linked diseases the special part for me was from Dr.Mohsin Rashid who came from Canada to present on "management of celiac disease". This was about the basics of celiac sprue on which he highlighted and the management of this condition on ground which is absent in Pakistan. I would be posting some further details of presentation soon. The first thing to be done includes massive awareness campaign for celiac disease in Pakistan through doctors and patients. For this thing we need help from all the patients who read this blog and are based in any city of Pakistan. As the awareness spreads it would help organize and educate patients about gluten free lifestyle and food availability. Interested people should email or leave a comment. Soon registration for the society would start and will be posted to inform before it starts. The minimum contribution that is required from all coeliacs is to register. Thus helping each other would be easier. Hoping it works well with time. Keep your selfs updated.
