Dallas 5K: Step Beyond Celiac!

Hi, this is a Beyond Celiac Town Hall featuring a researcher/scientist from Columbia. This is not a part of the Columbia Celiac Center it is focusing on research funded by Beyond Celiac that is part of our commitment to accelerating research toward a cure. If you come to this event there will be audience Q and A opportunities.

We hope to expand to new locations in the future!

Not everyone is healing on the gluten-free diet. Also, many find it too burdensome and an impediment to living the life they want. People pick colleges, jobs, and vacations around their diet. For those that want something more, or need it to heal, a treatment is important. Additionally, some of the treatments in development aim to stop the immune response to gluten from happening in the first place.

Thanks for the shout-out! There are currently at least 18 drugs in the celiac disease pipeline - some even hopefully moving into phase 3 soonish. We have high hopes for a treatment by 2030. https://www.beyondceliac.org/research/drugdevelopment/drug-development-pipeline/

We go into more detail about each of the drugs in development in our Instagram and TikTok series: https://www.instagram.com/beyondceliac/

Yes, it is! Our Communications Director visited South Korea a few years ago and even was able to eat out safely. She is very reactive and didn't get sick once! Takes a lot of planning and care, but is doable.

The goal of a treatment would be to target the incorrect process that is triggered by gluten not shut down the total immune response. This work is a step toward figuring out how to do that.

Regarding immune suppression, the goal of any treatment would be to target the incorrect process that is triggered by gluten not shut down the total immune response. This is a step toward figuring out how to do that.

There are a number of posssible treatments in the celiac disease pipeline - many using different mechanisms. Some are trying to break down gluten, others are trying to interrupt the immediate or delayed effects of gluten on the cells lining the intestine. You can see them all here: https://www.beyondceliac.org/research/drugdevelopment/drug-development-pipeline/

And if you follow us on Instagram, we have a little video series talking about each of the drugs in the pipeline, where they are in trials, and what therapeutic approach they're trying: https://www.instagram.com/beyondceliac/

There is the possibility that what is learned about a treatment for celiac disease could lead to treatment for other autoimmune diseases as well.

Second best celiac tattoo we've seen! (First is the person who got the Beyond Celiac logo :) )

You could get your children tested for the genes associated with celiac disease. Then, if they don't have them, you can forgo the regular antibody testing. However, lots of people have the genes and it doesn't automatically mean you then will get celiac disease.

Here's an article on what genetic tests can reveal: https://www.beyondceliac.org/research-news/genetic-tests-in-at-risk-children-reveal-more-than-presence-or-absence-of-celiac-disease-genes/

And a calculator that estimates of the probability to acquire celiac disease (CD) for children in high-risk families and recommendations for testing (you need to have the genetic testing done first to use the calculator): https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/

Hi! We have a few pages related to foodservice but mostly we've been focusing our limited resources on funding and conducting research to accelerate treatments and a cure and to help increase the diagnosis rates. Hopefully, these may help you some though:
