Topic: "The Impact of Gluten: What's the History?"
Date: TBA
Speaker: TBA
The increase in celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity has begged the question, “Why now?” Experts hold different theories on the increased prevalence, ranging from the hygiene theory to infant feeding practices to the actual hybridization of wheat, a primary source of gluten. NFCA’s Webinar will focus on the latter theory, with an explanation of the ways in which wheat is processed and eaten has changed dramatically in the 21st century.

Join NFCA as we host the first of two Webinars dedicated to learning how to navigate the winter holiday months, a time when food is the centerpiece. NFCA community members frequently request information on how to bake gluten-free and we couldn’t think of a better time to deliver these details! This program will review gluten-free flours and how to incorporate them into your holiday baked good recipes. Webinar participants will also benefit from learning about helpful gluten-free baking tips and tried and true gluten-free recipes.
December
Topic: "Holiday Special Part 2: Communicating with Your Family"
Date: TBA
Speaker: TBA
After being diagnosed with celiac disease people have different experiences in making the gluten-free transition at home. For some, it is common for one diagnosis of celiac disease in a family to initiate a second or even third diagnosis shortly thereafter. Others may find their family members unwilling to be tested for the genetic autoimmune disease. NFCA has learned that open communication about your gluten-free needs is best. We will share tips and strategies on explaining the impact of celiac disease to at-risk family members.
