About this Event

Please join us for our 3rd Annual Celiac Strong (9:00am-12:00pm) and 2nd Annual Thrive Together with IBD Community Events (1:00-5:00pm)!

Celiac Strong: Empowering the Gluten-Free Community combines the best of three worlds: education, fun, and food! Come learn about celiac disease, play games with med students and members of the celiac community, and sample delicious gluten-free goodies from vendors across the Bay Area! This year's Celiac Strong event features two, inclusive options: a technical option with doctors discussing leading-edge research and clinical trials, as well as a general option with ice-breakers, games, and snack-making.

Thrive Together with IBD keeps the same level of engagement and welcomes our IBD community to join the fun! Preeminent experts in the field will guide you through the latest clinical and scientific developments, with a break for food and fun.
