International Celiac Disease Awareness Day is observed worldwide every May 16. Established in 2013, this day focuses on educating the public about celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that leads to gluten intolerance. Events are organized by national celiac disease associations, international organizations like the Association of European Celiac Societies (AOECS), healthcare facilities, and other stakeholders. The day aims to combat misinformation about celiac disease and share valuable resources with those affected. Celiac disease affects 1-2% of the population and can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. The only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet, which requires careful reading of food labels to avoid gluten-containing products.
