Celiac Disease and COVID-19

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new virus that can affect the lungs and airways. There is no research specifically looking at the risk to people with celiac disease. Our experts recommend that you keep current with your vaccines, maintain a strict, gluten-free diet, and protect your mental health.

Resources for Children

Children with celiac disease are not considered to be immunocompromised or at greater risk for severe COVID-19 illness. All children should practice social distancing, wash their hands frequently for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.
