Boston Children’s Answers: Raising Celiac

Advocacy efforts can lead to the development of legislation and regulations that protect the rights and well-being of people with celiac disease. This includes advocating for accommodations in schools, workplaces, and public spaces to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for those with celiac disease. Advocacy can also greatly impact research and disease understanding when it leads to increased funding for scientists. But how can patients and doctors be involved in advocacy efforts in a productive way? Should everyone start calling their members of congress, or are there coordinated national efforts to join? We’ll discuss this and more on this episode of Raising Celiac. Thank you to the Global Autoimmune Institute for their support to make this podcast possible.
