****Updates****   

-G-PACT has been working on our first quarterly newsletter which will be mailed in the next couple  months. If you would like to be included on our mailing list and are not currently on our e-mail list, please contact thepact@earthlink.net and include your name, mailing address, e-mail address (if desired), and why you have an interest in G-PACT (doctor, researcher, patient, friend, family member, out of interest, studying this condition, etc.)

-A column which will appear in our quarterly newsletter will include a patient-patient exchange of information regarding "home remedies" on how to manage GP symptoms. This includes items such as walking or sitting up after eating, not eating past a certain time of day, etc. If you have information you would like to share, please send it to vpennington@g-pact.org.

-G-PACT is working on gathering quotes for printing of our graphics work. If you have a suggestion of a company that may print for free or reduced prices, please contact Carissa at chaston@g-pact.org

-Website is being updated on a regular basis. We have many plans in the future including GP photo album, contact info for GPers, professional site including articles written and published by doctors, researchers, or other medical professionals. If you have an interest in any of these areas, please contact Carissa at webmaster@g-pact.org.

-In the future, the webmaster and research department will work together to create polls on our website to gather more information about people with GP. The information used in these polls will be decided by our affiliated drug companies, doctors, or other medical professionals. This will enhance the connection between professionals and patients. It is our desire that these close connections will assist medical professionals in understanding the needs of people with GP in order to enhance research being conducted at this time.

Read stories about people who deal with GP on a daily basis, view artwork created by people with GP as a way to cope, read through past newsletters, and much more!
