For the millions of people living with celiac disease, access to high quality nutrition care is essential for treating their disease. Managing a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet requires expert guidance to ensure nutritional adequacy, prevent complications, and support long-term health. To help meet this critical need, the Celiac Disease Foundation is excited to announce Fay as a new Proud Sponsor. Fay is a virtual nutrition counseling platform that is transforming how people access expert care for chronic conditions like celiac disease.
Fay connects individuals directly with registered dietitians for personalized, one-on-one nutrition counseling covered by insurance. With a strong focus on evidence-based care, Fay helps patients better manage their health through tailored meal planning, ongoing support, and a deeper understanding of how food choices impact their well-being.
For those with celiac disease, working with a knowledgeable dietitian is an essential part of managing the only treatment available: a lifelong gluten-free diet. Fay makes this process more accessible than ever by offering virtual appointments and accepting most major insurance plans, helping patients get the specialized care they need – without the waitlists or high out-of-pocket costs often associated with nutrition counseling.
A core component of Fay’s approach is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), a structured nutrition plan developed and delivered by licensed dietitians. MNT plays a vital role in celiac disease management, helping individuals meet their nutritional needs, avoid cross contact, and prevent long-term complications like malnutrition or bone disease.
“Receiving a diagnosis is just the first step – learning how to live with celiac disease safely and confidently requires ongoing education and support,” said Marilyn G. Geller, Chief Executive Officer at the Celiac Disease Foundation. “We welcome Fay as our partner in expanding access to dietitian care for our community.”
Fay currently operates in all 50 states and has become a trusted platform in the nutrition space by combining clinical expertise with a technology-forward, patient-centered experience.
This partnership is a key part of the long-term vision for the newly established Celiac Disease Foundation Dietitian Advisory Council, which aims to elevate the role of dietitians in celiac disease care and improve access to expert dietitians. Partners like Fay will help us build an infrastructure for bringing evidence-based nutrition care to individuals with celiac disease across the United States, regardless of location or socioeconomic status. Together, we are removing barriers to specialized dietitian support and empowering patients with the tools they need to manage their health with confidence.
