The Coeliac Society of Australia has just launched their new ingredients list iphone application which can be downloaded onto iphones or ipads.
The application provides a comprehensive guide to gluten free eating and costs $9.99 from the iTunes Store.
We are delighted that the CSA has launched this new, highly informative application.
The CRF has launched a DVD for children which explains in simple language what coeliac disease is, who is involved during the diagnosis process, what to expect during diagnosis and managing coeliac disease with a gluten free diet. The DVD targets children from the age of 8 upwards and it is hoped, that by understanding their condition, children will become their own best little experts on coeliac disease.
The DVD is an informative tool for GPs and paediatricians as well as providing an easily understood explanation of coeliac disease for family, classmates and friends.
Thank you to those who made the developent of the CD possible, the Zig Inge Foundation, Nexpep, Associate Professor Don Cameron, Avril Brereton and Graham Cumming Multi Media.

Professor Maki is one of the innovative opinion leaders in the field worldwide. More than two decades ago, he joined the Finnish Coeliac Society and his research has been inspired by the needs of the coeliac sufferers. The outcome of his group research is the understanding of the broad clinical spectrum of gluten-induced disease entities, the correct use of serologic biomarker tests and a rapid point of care test in the primary health care, leading to a 20-fold increase of diagnosed coeliac disease in adults in Finland. His academic group is collaborating in addition to the patient organisations also with the authorities and industry. He was elected as the President of the nationwide Finnish Coeliac Society, and he is still today the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board. Professor Markku Maki is a permanent member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and the President of Finland has granted him the honour of Knight, First Class, of the Order of the White Rose of Finland in 2006.

We are grateful to the Mister Magnets and in particular Mark Milgate for their generous offer to create fridge magnets in support of our MOJO awareness campaign and to encourage children to keep on a gluten free diet. Mark and the team got behind our initiative and created a reminder magnet which conveniently sits on on the door of the fridge. Mister Magnet website.
Why not contact the CRF and ask for your fridge magnet?
