Celiac Disease Awareness Week

Celiac Awareness Week 2023 runs from May 13th - 20th, and International Celiac Day was on May 16th.
 Maintaining a strict, life-long, gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease. Dietitians can help people with celiac disease by suggesting suitable foods, taking into account their food preferences, including all the necessary nutrients such as energy, fibre, vitamins and minerals in their diets.
In honour of this week, we are looking back on the webinar organised by EFAD's ESDNGastroenterology, this past February on the pathophysiology and dietary approach of celiac disease compared to non-celiac gluten hypersensitivity (NCGS).
