  3. Celiac Disease • Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease. • People who have Celiac Disease have an intolerance to gluten. • Your genetics can play a role in being diagnosed with CD. • When a person with CD eats gluten, their immune systems reacts negatively. • The intestines become inflamed and damaged. • Most diagnosis occur in infancy and around 40-60 years of age.

  5. Gluten Free Diet • The only cure for Celiac Disease is a gluten free diet. • Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barely. • No wheat, rye or barley! • Spelt, farina and couscous all contain wheat, so read labels closely. • Read oat labels (sometimes oats are processed in a factory with wheat).

  14. Evaluation • I passed out a 5 question survey to determine if my objectives were met. All participants had an increase in knowledge, all the participants thought it was helpful because of the growing number of students with celiac disease, all the participants thought the information was interesting, they thought it was easy to follow and understand and if they could change one thing they would have liked me to talk in detail about how to use the flours and grains I listed as alternatives. • Sheryn asked me to do this topic because there was a great need for the food service staff to learn more about CD. Overall, I had a great time and I thought it went really well!
