Past Webinar Recordings

  • Under Represented Populations in Celiac Disease

    Recorded on 02/07/2024

    On Wednesday February 7, 2024, the Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (SSCD) held its first quarterly webinar of 2024 for members to learn about “Under Represented Populations in Celiac Disease.”  The webinar featured three incredible speakers,  Dr. Javier Villafuerte-Gálvez from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Amanda Cartee from the University of Alabama Hospital Center, and Dr. Haley Zylberberg from Columbia University Medical Center Hospital.  The presentations were followed by a Q&A and discussion about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in the celiac disease community. Finally, a new grant sponsored by the Celiac Disease Foundation was announced.

    Key takeaways from the presentations included:  

    • When addressing disparities in celiac disease diagnosis, management, and treatment, it is important to consider the existence of profound knowledge gaps, different eating habits (preferences and cultures), and language barriers. 
    • There may be a gap in testing, diagnosis, and healthcare access among underrepresented and underdiagnosed populations. 
    • By addressing these challenges, we can better support individuals living with celiac disease and ensure they have access to the resources and information they need to manage their condition effectively. 

  • Food Insecurity in Celiac Disease: Implementation of a Clinical Screening Program and Impact on GF Dietary Adherence

    Recorded on 01/09/2024

    Food insecurity impacts approximately 25% of patients with celiac disease. Given the extraordinarily high cost of gluten-free foods, food insecurity may pose a health risk by increasing the likelihood of intentional gluten ingestion. During this highly interactive webinar, our panelist will lead attendees through a case presentation, breakout exercises, and discussion about how providers can best support patients with celiac disease facing food insecurity.

    Panelists Include:

    • Dr. Julia M. Bracken, Children’s Mercy Kansas City
    • Vanessa Weisbrod, Boston Children’s Hospital
    • Dr. Nan Du, Boston Children’s Hospital
    • Sharon Weston, MS, RD, CSP, LDN, Boston Children’s Hospital
    • Dr. Dawn Adams, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
    • Dr. Ines Pinto-Sanchez, McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences
