Insights from the Columbia University International Symposium on Celiac Disease – June 2025. Written by Caleigh McAulay, RD, Health Promotions Manager for Celiac Canada.
In May 2025, researchers, clinicians, and advocates from around the world gathered both in-person and virtually at Columbia University’s International Symposium on Celiac Disease. The event explored the latest advancements in diagnosis, treatment, global trends, and the future of care for people living with celiac disease and related conditions. Celiac Canada attended to bring back insights for our community.
In this post, we share how experts addressed the challenges of non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) and the rate but serious condition known as refractory celiac disease (RCD).
"It's important to validate the experiences of those who don't feel better on a gluten-free diet. There's more support available, and more understanding now than even a few years ago," says Caleigh McAulay, RD.
If you or someone you know is struggling with symptoms despite being gluten-free, don’t assume it’s all in your head. Help is out there – and science is catching up.
We’ll be watching the research closely and continuing to advocate for people with complex celiac cases.
