Share these facts for Celiac Disease Awareness Month this May, and leave a comment with what facts you would add to this list. Let’s fight the countless gluten-free myths and insensitive jokes by sharing the facts!
1. I have an autoimmune disease, not a food allergy.
2. A 100% gluten-free diet is medically necessary for me. It is not a fad, weight loss diet, celebrity trend, or a joke.
3. Please get tested for celiac disease before experimenting with eating gluten-free.
4. If “gluten-free” food comes in any contact with gluten while cooking or serving, it is not safe for me to eat.
5. I love that there are tons of delicious certified gluten-free products. I am not deprived or suffering!
