I am so excited to announce that I am a panelist at the 2023 Beyond Celiac Community Summit. I am honored to share the stage with top celiac disease advocates, experts, researchers, and advocates. I am most excited to finally meet Dr. Ritu Verma, a pediatric gastroenterologist and celiac mom, in person. Tickets are on sale now.

The schedule is packed with speakers from various fields, including registered dietitians, gastroenterologists, and more. Panels will cover topics relevant to individuals living with celiac disease. Experts will share their insights on topics such as living your best gluten-free life, conditions that often accompany celiac disease, genetic testing, advocacy, and more.

The Summit promises to be a fantastic event, not only for the wealth of information available but also for the tasty food offerings. Your ticket includes a gluten-free breakfast, gluten-free lunch, and closing party with gluten-free snacks.
