t’s March, the month that makes me think spring and St. Patrick’s Day !

My favorite St. Patrick’s Day food is Irish Soda Bread. GF Jules has a gluten free version - it’s delicious.

If you order her all-purpose flour from this link, a portion of the sale goes to support Baltimore Gluten Free’s work - with no added cost to you.

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.
