Beyond Celiac is pleased to present our 2021 Virtual Town Hall Series. Throughout the year we will be hosting in-depth conversations with top experts in the field of celiac disease—including clinicians, scientists and advocates—as we aim to answer big questions about this serious autoimmune disease.
Join us for each Town Hall where we cover a unique topic brought to our attention by members of our community.
WHEN: Wednesday, September 29, 2–3 pm EST
GUESTS: Dietician Julie Kennedy and gluten-free consultant and educator Beckee Moreland
TOPIC: Eating healthy on the gluten-free diet (GFD)
DESCRIPTION: Not all gluten-free diets are created equal! While the GFD was once nearly impossible to accommodate, nowadays gluten-free foods seem to be just about everywhere, often with an implied claim that they are health foods. Our guests Beckee Moreland, restaurateur, gluten-free food service consultant, former director of the Beyond Celiac GREAT Kitchens program and certified in culinary nutrition, and Julie Kennedy, RD and long-time Beyond Celiac volunteer, will discuss food for the gluten-free community, ways to maximize enjoyment on the GFD without sacrificing nutrition, how to balance the less-than-healthy aspects of gluten-free food, and ideas to get kids engaged and involved in choosing foods for life, leaning on whole foods as a base.
