• The BIG Difference Between Shared Equipment vs Shared Facility
    Mar 27 2026

    hared Facilities: manufacturing facilities that produce both gluten containing and gluten free products are not necessarily a red flag. Facilities can be as large as football fields. Shared equipment, on the other hand, needs further investigation with the manufacturer if an individual decides it's worth pursuing. A call to the manufacturer can give more info about how the equipment is cleaned in between runs.

  • Epic College Roadtrips
    Mar 18 2026

    On the latest Celiac Project Podcast:

    Join Mike and Cam as they recap an epic four-night "travelogue" exploring college campuses through the eyes of two Celiac travelers.


    Mike’s daughter, Jessica, is officially an admitted student to a number of schools, and the search is on to find the perfect fit—both academically and in the dining hall! From "head-exploding" fish and chips at Fretboard Brewing to authentic Mexican fare at Maize at the Station, Mike shares the best gluten-free finds across the University of Illinois, Indiana University, and Miami of Ohio.


    Beyond the food, they dive into the realities of vetting campus dining halls, managing "awkward" student tours, and the emotional journey of a parent helping their child navigate a major life transition while staying safe and gluten-free.

  • Guidelines for Colleges to Support Celiac College Students
    Mar 4 2026

    Big news in the public health world this week. The Celiac Disease Foundation just released a paper outlining recommended supports for students with Celiac in college.


    All of their recommendations align exactly with what I’ve been teaching my families for years. One exception: I do recommend requesting priority class registration.


    Seeing these requirements in black and white, backed by professionals from all sectors, adds gravitas to our cause. It’s a win for visibility and a validation of the challenges our students face every day in the dining hall, dorms, and beyond.


    We know colleges are large, slow-moving institutions. They aren’t going to overhaul their kitchens or rewrite their disability policies tomorrow just because this paper exists. To them, this is a recommendation; to us, it’s our child’s safety.


    But this paper is a good tool in our toolbox.


    We can (and should!) bring this document to the table during the accommodations process. We can point to it and say, "The experts agree that this accommodation is a standard of care."


    If you have a senior in high school, or are preparing for the Accommodations Process, please join us on 3/25 or 3/26 for the next Accommodations Workshop.
