I have seen amazing progress over the years in celiac disease research and a huge increase in awareness and availability of gluten-free foods. But what hasn’t changed is the cost.

When I first had to switch to a gluten-free diet, I was afraid that having our traditional Caribbean Christmas was off the table for me.

It takes collaboration with a registered dietician to learn how to eat gluten free in a way that nourishes the body. Food is medicine for celiac disease.

Food Allergy Awareness Week is this week and food allergy advocates are using the week to shine visibility on and educate others about this potentially life-threatening medical condition.

My name is Anna, and even with my celiac diagnosis, I am still tempted to eat non gluten-free food!

Thank you so much for joining us for part one of our new webinar series, Food Laws: Intro to Changemaking.

In Italy, people diagnosed with celiac disease can go to the pharmacy for gluten-free food.

For those of us who understand that birthday celebrations can be stressful due to food allergies, celebrating distantly is a dream come true. 

Although the FDA guidelines recommend the top 8 allergens and 5 priority allergens not be substituted, this creates unnecessary anxiety for the food allergy community, particularly those who suffer from uncommon food allergies.

Since a lot of gluten-free foods are expensive, I now use my conversion chart so I can make my favorite recipes at home.

During the week of the challenge, I started to view the activity of eating as an obstacle for my mind and body whereas I had previously viewed it as a reward. With a tight budget and limited food options, every choice I made had to be strategic.

May is National Celiac Disease and Food Allergy Awareness Month.
