At least 1% of the world’s population – 3.2 million Americans – suffers from celiac disease, a serious, genetic, autoimmune condition, and between 50-83% of those with celiac disease remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to serious conditions such as anemia, brain damage, infertility and even certain cancers. Those lucky enough to get diagnosed face a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet because there currently are no pharmaceutical therapies. Beyond Celiac is laser-focused on accelerating treatments toward a cure because the gluten-free diet is burdensome and ineffective, and our community needs solutions.
This year, Beyond Celiac marks 20 years of serving the celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitive (NCGS) community as the leading patient advocacy and research-focused organization driving diagnosis, advancing research and accelerating the discovery of treatments and a cure. By engaging with the top scientists in the field, awarding research grants, and supporting the community, Beyond Celiac envisions a world in which people with celiac disease can live healthy lives and eat without fear – a world Beyond Celiac.
To us and our community, a cure means real treatment options. With your help, we are driving innovation toward the day our community can eat without fear by advancing breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
