In our first Celiac Straight Talk episode of the year, Beyond Celiac Senior Director of Coalition and Patient Engagement Kate Avery chats with President of the International Society for the Study of Celiac Disease Dr. Bob Anderson about a satellite meeting ISSCD did in conjunction with the Tampere Celiac conference in 2025.

Kate and Dr. Anderson discuss progress being made in the field of celiac, and how research has helped us progress our understanding of celiac disease and autoimmunity in general.

Telling someone you eat gluten-free can elicit a wide variety of responses, from sympathetic and accommodating to curious and confused, or even skeptical and derisive.

Some conversations are tough to navigate, especially during the holidays, when many folks are reconnecting with family members or spending time with old and new friends. In this event, we offer tips on handling all these conversations.

So brew your favorite warm drink and settle in for a Town Hall with Beyond Celiac!
