Beyond Celiac is excited to premier a new animated video, Celiac Disease is a Monster. The video succinctly conveys the seriousness of celiac disease in a fast-paced and edgy manner. Produced by Crosby Marketing Communications, the video captures the urgency and importance of patient-participation in research for treatments and a cure.

If you have celiac disease, you know it’s a monster. Its legions are some of the most common foods in the modern diet. Its secret weapon is gluten, a protein in wheat, barley and rye. The effects can be devastating: Anemia, anxiety, infertility, poor nutrient absorption, osteoporosis, increased risk of diabetes and cancer. It’s time we mount a counter attack. The strategy is simple. We will learn the secrets of celiac disease and use the information to defeat it. You have a story to tell that could hold the clues to a cure! Your story, along with the stories of thousands like you of what it’s like to live with celiac disease will help us tame it, treat it, and eventually cure it.
