“Huge news for celiac patients: Teva is reporting major success in an initial trial for the development of a new injection that neutralizes the disease. The antibody, developed in the company’s laboratories in Netanya, managed to prevent the intestinal damage and inflammation caused by gluten after just one dose.

Until now, the only solution for millions of patients around the world was a strict, complex, and restrictive lifelong diet. Now, the new Israeli drug simply prevents the immune system from attacking the body when exposed to gluten. Beyond treating celiac disease, the antibody was also found to be effective in treating the skin disease vitiligo, and has already received a fast-track approval pathway from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.” SINAI

POV: You’re 10 years old and living with Celiac Disease. 💚

You learn to read labels before most kids your age. You bring your own food to parties. Your parents spend hours researching safe restaurants, ingredients, and products. You pack containers everywhere you go.

But then you find places that give you freedom.

Places where you can order without fear. Places where being gluten-free doesn’t make you feel different.

Kyle recently wrote about what it’s like to live with Celiac Disease, and his words remind us why awareness matters. His journey isn’t just about avoiding gluten—it’s about inclusion, confidence, and feeling seen.

Through this Instagram account, Kyle’s voice is reaching people around the world. Families living with Celiac Disease are connecting. Companies are reaching out. Brands are helping turn something that once made him feel different into something worth celebrating.

At just 10 years old, Kyle is proving that one voice can make a difference.

Thank you for following along, supporting his journey, and helping spread awareness about Celiac Disease and the gluten-free community. Every follow, comment, share, and message means more than you know. 💚

If Kyle’s story resonates with you, give him a follow and join our gluten-free journey.

TIRED ALL THE TIME? IT COULD BE CELIAC DISEASE. 👀

Think celiac disease always means stomach problems?
THINK AGAIN.

Celiac disease can cause symptoms outside the digestive system — and sometimes digestive symptoms aren’t obvious at all.

Some possible clues include:
😴 Fatigue
🩸 Anemia
🦴 Bone problems
🧠 Neurological symptoms
🌸 Skin rash
❤️ Reproductive or fertility problems

These symptoms can happen on their own or together, and there can be many different ways celiac disease shows up.

If you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or think celiac disease could be a possibility, talk to your healthcare provider.

💚 Celiac disease doesn’t always look like what you expect.

📌 SAVE this as a reminder.

🚒 WHAT DO FIREFIGHTERS AND PEOPLE WITH CELIAC DISEASE HAVE IN COMMON? 👀

They both have to be prepared.

Firefighters don’t wait for an emergency to figure out what to do. They plan, prepare and train so they’re ready when it matters.

Living with celiac disease is a lot like that.

You have to plan ahead, pack safe food, read labels, ask questions and think about cross-contact before you eat — especially when travelling, eating at restaurants, going to events or simply leaving the house.
Because with celiac disease, “I’ll figure out what I can eat when I get there” isn’t always an option.

It can feel exhausting sometimes… but being prepared can make gluten-free living a whole lot easier. 💚

🚨🍫 **GLUTEN-FREE ALERT: AERO CHOCOLATE BARS HAVE CHANGED!** 💚

Celiac families, this is your reminder to ALWAYS check the labels! ⚠️

For years, Aero chocolate bars were one of our go-to treats for Kyle. They were something he loved and could enjoy without worry. 💚 Now, we’ve noticed a change: the packaging carries a **“may contain wheat” warning**, which means Aero is no longer a safe choice for Kyle.

And honestly? He’s sad. 🥺💔 It might seem like just a chocolate bar to some people, but when you have celiac disease, losing a favourite treat is another reminder that the things you once enjoyed can suddenly be off the table.

@nestle, we have to ask… what changed? Why is there now a may contain wheat warning? Was there a change in the facility, production line, or manufacturing process?

This is exactly why we check labels EVERY SINGLE TIME we shop. Even if you’ve bought the same product for years, ingredients, manufacturing practices and allergen warnings can change without you expecting it.

💚 **PLEASE SHARE THIS POST** to help spread awareness and remind other celiac families to check their chocolate bars before buying or eating them.

Because when you have celiac disease, label checking isn’t optional. It’s part of keeping yourself safe.

Have you noticed this change, too? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🌧️ IT’S POURING RAIN… SO KYLE WENT RUNNING. 🏃‍♂️🌧️

Kyle stood on the bridge watching the water rush through the ravine and had one thought:
“WOULD YOU RUN IN THIS?”

Kyle would. 😂💚

Because celiac disease doesn’t stop him from having adventures… so why should a little rain?
No thunder.
No lightning.

Just rain, fresh air and a chance to have some fun. 🌧️🏃‍♂️

Sometimes you just have to put on your shoes, embrace the weather and GO!

Celiac disease is part of Kyle’s life — but it doesn’t define what he can do. 💚

WOULD YOU RUN IN THIS RAIN? 👇🌧️

🍓🍉 THE LITTLE THINGS PEOPLE DON’T THINK ABOUT… MEAN EVERYTHING TO KYLE. 💚

While exploring Kensington Market in Toronto, Kyle found a special treat at @tonofjuice. 🥤

But before ordering and taking a single sip, Kyle did what he always does…

HE ASKED QUESTIONS.
Is it gluten-free?
Are there any gluten-containing ingredients?
Is there a risk of cross-contact?

Because when you have celiac disease, you can’t always just grab something while exploring.

Kyle chose a strawberry + watermelon juice 🍓🍉 — and he absolutely LOVED it!

And then something happened that might seem small to most people…

His brother and sister got one too. 🥹💚 One got the same as he did and one got a Mango smoothie.

For once, all three kids could enjoy the same treat while exploring Toronto together.

That might not sound like a big deal.

But for a kid living with celiac disease, moments like this can mean EVERYTHING.

It’s something many people don’t think about when planning a family day out. For Kyle, food safety is always at the forefront of his mind.

A huge thank you to @tonofjuice for being so patient while Kyle asked his questions and made sure his juice was safe for him. 💚

He loved every single sip — and we’ll definitely be back! 🥤🙌

🍔🌯 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BURGER MEETS AN EGG ROLL?

CHEF KYLE CREATES BURGER RICE PAPER ROLLS! 👨‍🍳🔥

Think juicy meat, veggies, cheese and homemade Big Mac Sauce… all wrapped up in a rice paper roll.
It’s basically an egg roll with all the fixings of a burger — and somehow, it works! 🤤

On the side: zucchini and a cold carrot salad. 🥒🥕
Creative ✔️
Fun to make ✔️
Delicious ✔️
Gluten-free ✔️💚

We love watching Kyle get creative in the kitchen and build the confidence and independence he’ll need as he grows up with celiac disease.

WOULD YOU TRY A BURGER RICE PAPER ROLL? 🍔🌯👇

Give Chef Kyle a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if you’d try this!
