Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, celiac disease patients need treatments and a cure. On March 8, the Celiac Disease Foundation sponsored the First SSCD Consensus Workshop: Research Opportunities in Celiac Disease 2020 to inform NIH funding needs.

We are well on the way to assembling a grassroots advocacy team that can help make celiac disease a national priority in communities across the country

A recent review found that overall, the incidence of celiac disease has been rising since the second half of the 20th century into the 21st century in nearly every country where data on the disease are available.

More and more evidence is showing what many have long suspected: maintaining a truly gluten-free diet may not be possible.

Researchers at the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center (MIBRC) at Massachusetts General Hospital, led by Stefania Seger and CDF Medical Advisory Board member Alessio Fasano, have created 3-D, miniature models of the intestines in order to research celiac disease.

After decades of pleading with our federal government to take celiac disease as seriously as it does other diseases with comparable patient impact, yesterday, the U.S. House and Senate each passed, and President Trump has signed, the FY2020 Federal budget resolution.

ImmunogenX, a clinical stage biotherapeutics company, has published the results of their phase 2 trial testing latiglutenase—an orally administered treatment for celiac disease (CD).

A significant improvement in both symptom severity and quality of…

There is currently no easy way to diagnose celiac disease in patients already following a gluten-free diet. In order for celiac disease blood tests to be accurate, patients on a gluten-free diet must undergo a “gluten challenge,” a temporary re-introduction of gluten into the diet, by consuming two slices of wheat-based bread daily for 6-8…
