About Our Services
Nearly one out of every 133 Americans suffer from celiac disease, a
digestive disease that damages the small intestine because of a
sensitivity to gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
This hereditary disorder interferes with the absorption of nutrients
from food.
The Celiac Center at Paoli Hospital provides a local resource to help
people manage and embrace the gluten-free lifestyle.
Whether you believe you or a loved one may have celiac disease, are
newly diagnosed or have lived gluten-free for years, our team is
committed to helping you through it all. From screening and nutritional
counseling to consultations with our specialists, Paoli Hospital is here
for you.

Hospital who need to follow a gluten-free diet will be

the executive chef and registered dietitian. To provide the best
possible gluten-free products available, the kitchen has teamed up with
