Welcome To National Celiac Awareness Month

Here we are halfway into May and I have yet to mention that it is National Celiac Awareness Month.

So today, I’m making a point of spreading the word.

The fact that it is National Celiac Awareness Month is a big deal for anyone in the Celiac and gluten-free community.

The reason why is simple – the intense focus helps to bring awareness to a good Cause.

The folks at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness have come up with theme for this years’ campaign:  Keep It Simple and Safe – or K.I.S.S.

Hence their slogan “Whether you fear the kitchen or avoid dining out, prepare to KISS those concerns good-bye”.

I love that!

For the entire month of May, a total of 16 bloggers are offering advice on living gluten-free – with the goal of helping others on the journey.

Whether you are new to the Gluten-free lifestyle or an acknowledged veteran, there is something here for everyone.

In other news, Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bread has a “Spread the Bread” awareness campaign.

By clicking on this link, you can receive a $1 coupon, good toward a loaf of gluten-free bread. All they ask in return is that you support other partners in the gluten free community.

That’s a win-win solution!

Once again, the details are right here.

Lastly, the Gluten Intolerance Group – or GIG – is repeating their Restaurant Awareness Campaign.

The goal is to raise awareness among restaurants nationwide, of the ever increasing and overwhelming need to provide safe, gluten-free meals for those of us on this special diet.

This is another win-win situation, as participating restaurants typically find increased patronage when they are able to provide a gluten free dining experience.

All this and more is happening during National Celiac Awareness Month.

So, be sure to get on board today!
