The Best of… NFCA’s Printable Guides

NFCA’s Top 5 Printable Guides for the newly diagnosed.

As a newbie in the world of celiac disease, I’ve been relying on Celiac Central’s Printable Guides to help me begin navigating all the information that’s out there. From “What is Celiac Disease” to “The Gluten-Free Athlete Q&A,” the printable guides cover all the bases.

I thought I’d share my take on NFCA’s Top 5 Printable Guides:

Getting Started Guide

If you just found out you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, this guide breaks down what gluten is, where it’s typically found and where it can be hiding. Alice Bast, President and Founder of NFCA, offers tips on gluten-free alternatives so you can still make your favorite recipes.

Navigating the Gluten-Free Diet in College

Moving away to college for the first time is stressful even when you don’t have to worry about finding something that is safe to eat on campus. Students going off to college have social concerns too- what about drinking at parties? How do I avoid awkwardness when a new flame tries to kiss me? This guide candidly helps new students figure out how to not miss out on any part of the college experience just because they’re gluten-free.

Gluten in Medications

Medications are a source of hidden gluten, so it’s important to talk to your pharmacist and doctor about the potential to get glutened by your meds. This guide tells you what to look for and where to go to learn more about your medications and their gluten status.

Celiac Disease Fast Facts

This guide gives you ten fast facts about celiac disease. This is another great guide to help people with celiac explain their autoimmune disease to others.

Talking to Family Members about their Risk

At Beyond Celiac, we know that talking to your family about celiac disease testing can be challenging. The research from Beyond Celiac actually shows that family members will not take action and get tested if these materials are shared with them in place of having an in-person conversation. Find important tips for having that conversation in this guide!

Bonus! The Beyond Celiac Gluten Sensitivity Guide

The Gluten Sensitivity Guide is a comprehensive resource from Beyond Celiac covering symptoms, testing, research and more! Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll find inside:

  • What is non-celiac gluten sensitivity?
  • How is gluten sensitivity diagnosed?
  • Is gluten sensitivity a lifelong disorder?
  • Could it be FODMAPs?
  • Gluten-free diet 101

You can find all of the Printable Guides on beyondceliac.org. Be sure to share them with a friend!
