Beyond Celiac

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! ?? Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body uses blood sugar, called glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for the brain and for the cells that make up muscle and tissue of the body. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that is usually diagnosed in children, teenagers and young adults. In this form of diabetes, the body does not make insulin, which is the hormone needed to get glucose from the bloodstream into cells. Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease are both immune-mediated conditions and share a similar genetic profile, resulting in a significant amount of overlap in patients. Around 3–8% of people with T1D will have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease, so people with this condition would benefit from regular celiac disease screening, as untreated celiac disease may contribute to irregular blood glucose levels. #diabetes #diabetesawareness celiac #celiacdisease #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #gluten #glutenfree #glutenfreeliving #chronicillness #celiacresearch #celiacawareness #research #beyondceliac

With Thanksgiving and the holiday season approaching, we wanted to share some of our best tips for attending gatherings as someone with celiac disease. ?? While some alcohol, like beer, is not gluten-free, there is plenty of gluten-free alcohol to celebrate with! Wine, champagne, and pure distilled liquors are gluten-free, as well as most hard ciders and seltzers. ?? It’s always good to label and/or color-code your gluten-free food! ?? Make sure to cover gluten-free food in the oven to minimize cross-contact. Drop your GF holiday tips and trips in the comments! #celiac #celiacdisease #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #gluten #glutenfree #glutenfreeliving #chronicillness #celiacresearch #celiacawareness

?? Myth versus Fact ?? Celiac disease can be diagnosed at any age. It’s a common misconception that celiac disease is only diagnosed in childhood—but this is not the case! In fact, on average, it takes 6-10 years to be correctly diagnosed with celiac disease—a statistic we at Beyond Celiac are hoping to change!
