As a Health Educator, Celiac Awareness Month in May may get me more excited than most. More than any other time of year, people are reading, sharing, and focused on educating and raising awareness about this disease. There’s nothing I like seeing better than info and resource-sharing. There’s also nothing I like LESS than seeing info shared that isn’t fact-based but based solely on personal experience. While there’s nothing wrong with saying ‘this was my experience’ in some circumstances, often times this info is used to make important decisions that can impact health.As a member of many online Celiac and Gluten Free groups, the same questions and issues come up again and again. That served as the inspiration for “5 Facts a Celiac Doctor Wants You to Know about Celiac Disease.” Working with the University of Maryland Celiac Center to create this Celiac Disease Fact Sheet, I hope you will share it with anyone you know with Celiac, who is gluten free, thinking about going free, has gluten sensitivity or cares for a child with any of the above.Read the 5 Facts here: https://baltimoreglutenfree.com/5-facts-a-celiac-doctor-wants-you-to-know/
