Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? One of our amazing Reach Beyond Celiac Ambassadors Ilana C. reached out to host a disability pride roundtable episode with myself and other Reach Beyond Celiac ambassadors Ella S. and Tara P. We had an amazing conversation about what it means to have celiac disease in a world designed for people who can eat gluten, and a bit of history and our thoughts on disability pride. Ilana also shares some stories of legal cases regarding celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Listen to hear more!

You can find all episodes of Celiac Straight Talk anywhere you listen to podcasts and on our website at BeyondCeliac.org. If you want to get involved with the Reach Beyond Celiac Ambassador program, email Valerie Kraft at vkraft@beyondceliac.org. Thanks so much for listening!

Happy Pride! In this chatty episode of the podcast, Beyond Celiac Social Media Coordinator Lauren and gluten-free chef and content creator Matt Weinstein talk about identity, both his diagnosis and coming out stories, and eating gluten-free during food-centric Pride celebrations.

Enjoy the episode!

Dr. Iain Croall, PhD, MRes, BSc and Jordan Dubow, MD discussed how eating gluten can affect neurological health in those with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity and answered community questions about neurological health and the gut-brain connection.
