New research from Telly Cheung from University of California San Francisco presented at #DDW2025 reveals children from the most disadvantaged neighborhoods were 50% less likely to see their celiac disease antibodies return to normal within 5 years of diagnosis.

At #DDW2025, Lida Ahonen from Tampere University presented new data showing that people diagnosed with #CeliacDisease through screening - even without symptoms - had better health outcomes and adjusted just as well to the gluten-free diet as those diagnosed due to symptoms.

How do social adversities impact disease control for children with celiac disease? According to Dr. Telly Cheung, social stigmatization, decreased health knowledge, and mental health comorbidity were associated with a 2-5x increased odds of worse patient-reported outcomes.

Today, we join patients and providers to mark the start of #CeliacDisease Awareness Month. Celiac disease is not rare, but misconceptions still surround treatment options. Make sure your patients have what they need to understand this condition: https://t.co/J2gkAAPl4H.

Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel.

A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up.

Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

#GilbertsSyndrome is the result of a gene mutation. The gene affected is called UGT1A1, and it makes an enzyme that helps clear #bilirubin from the body. There is no increased risk based on #diet, medications, or lifestyle.
