The Celiac Disease Foundation on May 22 awarded its first Celiac Disease Policy Leadership Award to U.S. Representative Betty McCollum (MN-04) for her distinguished service and advocacy on behalf of the celiac disease patient community. Among other initiatives, she established the bipartisan Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus, which has significantly increased federal recognition of celiac disease.

We are pleased to share that the Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) Act of 2023 has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and in the U.S. House of Representatives. Securing insurance coverage for registered dietitian nutritionist visits for celiac disease patients is a priority, and we are encouraged to see progress toward this goal.

Please take ONE MINUTE to contact your Members of Congress, using our simple, pre-populated form, to make it easier and safer for individuals with celiac disease by disclosing if foods contain rye and barley, in addition to wheat.
