Each week, the group has set forth to relieve gluten-related burdens with medical advice and education. GIG kicked off May with a one-hour virtual education session, titled “Staying Safely Gluten-free: At Home and Beyond,” that included information on how gluten-intolerant and sensitive persons can protect themselves from accidental gluten consumption.
Additional efforts include: the Generation GF Teen Summit at the Culinary Institute of America at Copia in Napa, CA this summer, and GIG Cares, a separate nonprofit organization focused on fighting food insecurity, while promoting gluten-free education and advocacy.
“We’re excited to actively engage with the celiac and gluten-free communities and the general public during Celiac Awareness Month,” said Jeanne Reid, marketing manager, GIG. “This year’s month-long campaign will provide the opportunity for GIG to share powerful knowledge and resources for navigating this challenging disease at any age or stage of life."
