Today marks the start of Celiac Awareness Month.

What is it?

Celebrating Celiac Awareness Month is not trendy. It focuses on the importance of celebrating healthy eating through a gluten-free diet.

Sarah Krieger, a registered and licensed dietician and nutritionist, who is also president of the Florida Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, visited the Action News studio to talk to anchor Lindsay Logue about the purpose of Celiac Awareness Month and to showcase some natural gluten-free products.
