Celiac Awareness Month

In May we celebrate Celiac Awareness Month during May, so this is a great time find lots of information on Celiac Disease and savings on gluten-free products.  Here are a few of the events happening this month:

MamboSprouts put together blog posts about Celiac Disease in a Nutshell and Dining Out with Celiac Disease.  Plus, check out their coupon section for gluten-free product savings (worth a look every month!).

The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness complied a big spread of information including helpful resources on testing and diet, daily blog posts on baking, nutrition, raising gluten-free kids, dining out and resources, and a pantry make-over contest.  They also highlight events around the country pertaining to Celiac's Disease and gluten-free eating so check out their calendar.


The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) sponsors their Chef to Plate program during May ~ see their map of participating restaurants for options near you.  This is an awesome program designed to raise awareness of gluten sensitivities and provide more dining out options for those eating gluten-free.

Many regional and local restaurants are going gluten-free for the month of May so check for ads in your local media or run a local google search to see what might be available to you. 

A few national league baseball teams, such as the NY Mets and the Arizona Diamondbacks, are hosting Celiac Awareness Nights during May.  Other teams such as the Phillys and Mariners sponsor similar events later in the season.

Rudi's Gluten Free Bakery is holding their Spread the Bread campaign on their Facebook site.  Print a $1 off any Rudi's product coupon and they'll donate a $1 to the Celiac organization of your choice (GIG, NFCA, CSA, or Celiac Disease Foundation).

Help spread the word about Celiac Disease and gluten-free living this month!
