Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune condition. When someone with celiac disease consumes gluten, the body "attacks" the villi in the small intestine that are responsible for helping pull nutrients out of the food we eat. Untreated celiac disease can lead to a long list of symptoms, many of which are correlated with the nutrient deficiencies. The only current treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet.

There's no denying that living with celiac disease comes with difficulties, but we always want to remind people that once you start the gluten-free diet and work with your healthcare team, you can begin to thrive. You are now on the road to recovery and feeling better. You will discover recipes that are truly delicious. You wll meet wonderful people in the gluten-free community. You will learn to get out and enjoy the world. You've got this, and we've got your back!

Peer support and mentorship can improve confidence, coping skills, and quality of life for people of all ages who are managing celiac disease, regardless of how long they’ve been diagnosed. On the second Tuesday of each month, we host a free virtual support group meeting for folks with celiac disease or another gluten-related condition.

We provide a virtual safe space for Celiacs as they navigate everyday living. We offer resources and support, share our personal stories, and discuss the challenges and fears we face while celebrating the triumphs we conquer.

These meetings, open to all, will be held from 7 to 8 pm Eastern Time. Join us TONIGHT! Tuesday, 10/13 for open conversation about gluten-free living!

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a form of celiac disease (CeD) that affects the skin. When someone with DH ingests gluten, an autoimmune response occurs in the skin causing intensely itchy blisters to form, usually on the elbows, knees, or buttocks. The back, abdomen, face and scalp may also be affected, but that is not as common. People with DH may or may not have villous atrophy in the intestine, but the majority do .

Studies have shown that about 1 in 8 people with CeD have DH. The treatment for DH is a strict gluten-free diet. This is a short snippet from our free “Understanding and Managing Gluten-Related Conditions” webinar which can be found on our website at nationalceliac.org/going-gluten-free
