Ava RyderThe Voices of Celiac Disease

“I’ve been gluten-free since 2018, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. That diagnosis completely changed my life and sparked my passion for advocacy.”

Hi! My name is Ava and I’m 16 years old. I live in Summit, New Jersey, but I love traveling and exploring new places around the world!

I’ve been gluten-free since 2018, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. That diagnosis completely changed my life and sparked my passion for advocacy. I run an Instagram account called Gluten Free with Ava, where I share gluten-free restaurants, food finds, tips, and my personal experiences living with celiac disease.

I’m so excited to be an ambassador for Beyond Celiac and can’t wait to connect and support others in the celiac community!
