Celiac Awareness Day

Celiac Awareness Day, on September 13, is a special day to help people learn about celiac disease. This is when some people get sick if they eat foods with gluten, like bread or pasta. Their tummy can hurt, and they don't feel good. On this day, we share information to help everyone understand what celiac disease is and how to help people who have it. It's about being kind and making sure everyone can eat safely. Knowing about it means we can make better food choices and make sure our friends with celiac disease feel included and safe.

How to celebrate Celiac Awareness Day?

Start the day by baking gluten-free cookies or cupcakes with family. Share them with friends and explain why they're special. Create fun, colorful posters about gluten-free foods and hang them at school or home. Play a game called "Gluten-Free Explorer" where you find new snacks without gluten at the store. Plan a picnic with only gluten-free food, inviting friends to try it. Watch a short, fun video that teaches about eating safely. Finish by thanking someone who helps keep you healthy. Celebrate by learning, sharing, and having fun with the people you care about!
