It's Celiac Disease Awareness Month and that's no joke!

Let's do our part to spread the word about this serious condition and help raise gluten-free awareness!

What is Celiac disease?

• Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is estimated to affect 1 in every 100 people worldwide and is four times more common in women than men.

Symptoms of celiac disease

• digestive issues - as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea

• fatigue

• headaches

• joint pain

• skin rashes.

Diagnosis of celiac disease

• Combination of blood tests and biopsy of the small intestine.

Treatment of celiac disease

• Gluten-free diet - the person must avoid foods containing wheat, barley, and rye.

• Following a gluten-free diet can help relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall health and quality of life.

It's time to get the dough-nation out for celiac disease awareness - it's the yeast we can do!
