Celiac Disease Foundation

🧬 To develop celiac disease, you need to have certain genetic markers, specifically the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genes. But don't worry—having these genes doesn't mean you'll definitely get celiac disease, just that you're at a higher risk. Environmental factors, such as gluten exposure, and other genetic factors also play a role in triggering the disease.

The ACeD-it clinical trial is investigating a potential medicine for treating the symptoms of celiac disease after gluten exposure. Your participation could make a difference.

Requirements:
18-70 years old
Biopsy-confirmed celiac disease
On a gluten-free diet for at least the last 12 months

Compensation is available for eligible participants.

Ask the chef: Can you use almond flour as a 1-1 flour replacement in baking?🧑‍🍳
Yes you can, but you may find that using a blend of gluten-free flours yields a better finished product. Our favorite chef, Vanessa Weisbrod, suggests blending almond flour, buckwheat flour, and coconut flour for a smoother finished product.

Are 18-70 years old

📣 Ask the Dietitian - What are some high protein snacks for kids? Swipe to see some ideas! According to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), kids need different amounts of protein based on their age:

Ages 4-8: About 19 grams per day
Ages 9-13: Around 34 grams per day
Ages 14-18: About 46-52 grams per day
Protein is essential for growing children because it supports growth and development, helps build muscles, boosts immune function, and aids in producing important enzymes and hormones.
