Note from Alice: Now Is the Time: We Can and Will Change the Future Together!
Join us! Beyond Celiac is going Bold and Beyond! Through your participation with Beyond Celiac, you are not only making history, you are making a better future for all of us. Research is the key that will unlock not only better paths to diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease, but also be instrumental in illuminating the path to solving all other autoimmune diseases. Think of it — together we can improve the lives of 50 MILLION AMERICANS living with one, two, three or more of the 100+ identified autoimmune diseases out there.
Our mission is to accelerate research. We need your help more than ever to keep the momentum:
For those diagnosed with celiac disease, or their parents:
Join us in making history. Tune in to the first ever Bold Beyond Research Symposium Webcast. Experts will be answering your questions. This expert panel have researched everything from better ways to diagnose and manage celiac disease to the development of new drugs that may offer treatment solutions in the future. Their published work spans over nearly two decades and has influenced the quality of life for both adults and children living with the disease. Additionally, they have been involved in studies that have expanded understanding of the triggers and mechanisms of celiac disease and propelled potential new treatments from the laboratory drawing board to critical clinical trials.
Please, please invest in your own health and join Go Beyond Celiac, an online community created by people with celiac disease, for people with celiac disease. Share your story, learn from others, and communicate with each other and with doctors, other healthcare providers and scientists studying celiac disease. Your participation in Go Beyond Celiac will drive research that leads to a better understanding of how celiac disease develops. Information we gather will help the medical community diagnose celiac disease more quickly and improve the diagnosis experience for patients. Most importantly, participation in Go Beyond Celiac will help answer your questions and lead to the development of treatments used with and in place of the gluten-free diet. Sign up at www.Go.BeyondCeliac.org.
For everyone:
Help us fund celiac disease research and accelerate solutions for a cure. Invite your friends and family to support Beyond Celiac using an easy-to-set-up individual fundraising page at www.BeyondCeliac.org/CeliActivist. Our goal is to have at least 100 people help us raise $50,000 for research. If you prefer to give instead of ask, we invite you to visit https://www.beyondceliac.org/donate and set up a generous recurring gift, or check out the other ways to donate.
Our vision is a world in which people with celiac disease can live healthy lives free from social stigma and fear of gluten exposure. You can help make this vision a reality. Let’s work together!
To living life Beyond Celiac,
Alice Bast
Beyond Celiac CEO

About Chef Oonagh Williams
British born Chef Oonagh Williams holds a culinary arts degree and spends her time cooking, writing, speaking, and educating the public on gluten-free and allergy-free diets. She herself has celiac disease along with other food allergies. When not writing or speaking nationally on food, she teaches cooking classes, hosts dinner parties, and offers one-on-one help.

Celiac Disease Research Neglected in Federal Funding
