A major goal of the American Celiac Disease Alliance (ACDA) is to improve the availability and access to gluten-free meals in schools for students with celiac disease. Recently, the ACDA was approached to work on a collaborative project which will help move us closer to achieving that goal. One of the first steps of the project is to determine the level of interest for gluten-free school lunches.

The ACDA has launched a brief online survey to find out who is providing lunch for student's with celiac disease - parents, school, or a combination.

If you have a child with celiac disease attending school, please complete the survey by going to www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=83OFWWSzHfAtSoh9vRH8Pg_3d_3d

Your input is vitally important to demonstrate that our children want and need gluten-free meals at school. The survey will close on July 2, 2008.

If you have any questions about the survey, or issues regarding the accessibility of gluten-free foods in school, please contact the ACDA at info@americanceliac.org.

Thank you for helping us help our kids!

I will be filling one out also. I just went a few rounds with the day care director over opting out of the food program at my son's daycare.

An update posted on the delphi forum today:

So far the ACDA has received just shy of 1800 school lunch surveys. We have a major meeting later this week with a group of folks who are interested in getting a gluten-free lunch program launched for the upcoming school year.

We would really like to reach 2000 surveys by the end of this week. Thanks in large part to your efforts, we

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
