Needless to say, when Emma rushed into the house and said, “Mom, I just had the best celiac day EVER!” It really piqued my interest! What could it be? A new great lunch at school? A party and someone thought to get gluten-free treats? What?? Tell Me!
Did your child get celiac because you introduced gluten at a time when they had an infection, including gastroenteritis? Researchers in this latest study want to know if the timing of this played a role in the triggering of celiac disease.
What would the United States look like if all of the celiacs were diagnosed? That’s approximately 3 million people. How would your life different? Or your child’s? Food…health care…general attitudes…we explore that in this post.
The new year and the new decade are here. With great strides being made for celiac disease in the last 10 years, what do we hope will happen to benefit celiac disease in the next decade? Survey respondents had some great thoughts!
A new article is out in a medical journal focusing on the need for celiac awareness in the medical community and how to diagnose it. While the article was published in a journal for physician assistants, it is a quick read for anyone wanting to learn more about celiac diagnosis.
New research shows further evidence that untreated celiac disease wreaks havoc on the body and you may not even realize it; especially in children. This is the latest in three studies released just this month on the relationship between untreated celiac and bone health.

But once someone with undiagnosed celiac gets the correct diagnosis – it’s life changing – even for an athlete. If you doubt me—take a look at some of these examples: College Success This week the Dallas Morning News profiled the second-string quarterback at the University of North Texas. Nathan Tune got on the team as a walk-on three years ago and has been a on the bench ever since. His college coach is proud of him for his patience and sticking it out with UNT, saying he could have given up. “Tune had an excuse to give up football in celiac disease,” the article says. “The disease forced him to give up sandwiches, pasta and fast food last year. He stuck with it, though, and after adapting to the condition, he moved up the depth chart to become UNT’s backup quarterback.” – Dallas Morning News Because of a recent injury to the starting quarterback, Tune was able to start against one of the […]
A dietitians’ association calls for increased awareness of celiac in the medical community. The new research supports the fact that celiac isn’t always easy to diagnose.
Celiac disease is a challenge – no doubt about it. But so many people around the world have it worse than we do. Sure the gluten-free diet goes against everything that is Americana food: buns, stuffing, bread, pie, cake, donuts, etc… This post explores why we have reason to stop and be thankful.
