New research from Telly Cheung from University of California San Francisco presented at #DDW2025 reveals children from the most disadvantaged neighborhoods were 50% less likely to see their celiac disease antibodies return to normal within 5 years of diagnosis. Understanding barriers to gluten-free diet success can help us build better care for all kids with celiac disease. #CeliacDisease #CeliacKids #CeliacResearch #HealthDisparities #GlutenFree

A historic day at the Massachusetts State House!
In honor of International Celiac Disease Awareness Day, Representative Michelle Badger presented a resolution officially declaring May 16 as Celiac Awareness Day in Massachusetts.
To mark the occasion, the Celiac Disease Foundation joined Rep. Badger for a powerful legislative briefing—sharing research on the barriers students with celiac disease face in accessing school meals and how policy can create meaningful change.
Foundation staff was joined by Dr. Alan Leichtner from Boston Children’s Hospital, who emphasized the importance of education and innovation in improving care for patients.
Together, we’re making celiac disease a priority in the halls of government.

Can Celiac Disease Impact Heart Health? Emerging research presented at #DDW2025 by Aline Pesi (Institute for Medical Immunology, Mainz, Germany) suggests that untreated celiac disease may affect more than the gut. In mouse models, gluten exposure and intestinal inflammation were linked to changes in cholesterol levels and other markers of heart health. #CeliacDisease #ChronicIllness #HeartHealth #Immunology #CeliacLife #CeliacResearch

Not everyone with celiac disease presents with traditional symptoms. At #DDW2025, Lida Ahonen from Tampere University presented new data showing that people diagnosed through screening - even without symptoms - had better health outcomes and adjusted just as well to the gluten-free diet as those diagnosed due to symptoms. #CeliacDisease #Celiac #Coeliac #AutoimmuneDisease #GlutenFreeDiet
