We teamed up with @fdafoods to answer the question: What IS celiac disease?
Celiac disease is a serious, chronic autoimmune condition where eating gluten damages the small intestine. Even tiny amounts can trigger an immune response. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Learn more at celiac.org

How often do you check ingredient labels when your grocery shop?
If you have celiac disease, you probably answered ALWAYS! Living with celiac disease means always checking labels, even for products you`ve used for years, because ingredient sourcing can change at any time for a variety of reasons.

When you have celiac disease, these three things can present major red flags ...
1) Buffet lines (due to cross-contact risk)
2) When someone says it`s "probably" gluten-free (uncertainty about food preparation/ingredients)
3) "May contain wheat" labels (labels can be very confusing)
What are your gluten-free red flags?

Mothers of celiac disease families do it all—advocating for their families at doctor`s appointments and in restaurants, gluten-free meal prep, checking labels, and asking questions. They deserve extra appreciation today! Happy Mother`s Day to all the mothers caring for families with celiac disease. You rock!

At this year`s DDW, SSCD Travel Grant Recipient Kathleen Heaney from Columbia University presented research findings on why patients may or may not seek out follow-up biopsies after getting their celiac disease diagnosis.
Many patients with celiac are not offered a follow-up biopsy, highlighting the need for collaborative conversations about follow-up care between patients and doctors.
