Beyond Celiac envisions a future where a treatment or cure allows people to eat without fear of gluten; a world beyond celiac. Our goals for Celiac Awareness Month are to share facts about celiac disease with the world, encourage folks to imagine the impact of a potential treatment for those affected by this autoimmune condition, and implore everyone to join the cause!
You can celebrate Celiac Awareness Month by attending a local or virtual event, taking time to educate loved ones about this autoimmune condition, donating to the cause, or enjoying delicious, gluten-free (GF) food from a GF bakery, restaurant, or company.
Below you’ll find resources you can use to support the community throughout May. Get all the latest updates by following us online (Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok) or subscribing to our monthly newsletter.
Together for a cure,
—The Beyond Celiac Team

Here are easy ways that you can help raise awareness and support the celiac disease community this month.
This May, we are pleased to once again take part in the international Shine a Light on Celiac campaign. #ShineALightOnCeliac brings together celiac-related organizations from across the globe—spanning four continents—to raise awareness of celiac disease by lighting up landmarks green, which is the unofficial color of the celiac disease community. The image to the left is Niagara Falls lit up green last May.
Visit the Shine a Light on Celiac page to see a list of landmarks and learn more about the initiative!

May is Celiac Awareness Month. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that damages the small intestine and has no cure, no pill, no treatment—nothing except the gluten-free diet. Nonprofit @BeyondCeliac wants to change that, and this month, I’m joining them in imagining what a world beyond celiac could look like: Less stress, more enjoying the moment. Less restriction, more spontaneity. Less fear, more fun. Help me create a world beyond celiac by donating to the cause or learning more about the disease at beyondceliac.org/giving
