May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month, a month dedicated to bringing awareness to celiac disease in an effort to increase diagnosis rates, and fundraise for research efforts so we can work towards a cure.
In 2018, we launched our at-home celiac disease screening test, and since then, have been dedicated to providing solutions for the celiac disease community.
Food Matters!
Once diagnosed, a patient with celiac disease is prescribed to eat a strict gluten-free diet. Going gluten-free can make an immense difference in health and overall well-being. But it’s not always easy to be gluten-free! It’s likely that you’ll be spending a lot more time researching recipe ideas and ingredient substitutions rather than in the actual kitchen.
We’re here to help, and have rounded up some of our delicious gluten-free recipes from our community, which include some exceptional nutritionists and registered dieticians.
