This treatment, if approved, would not eliminate the need for a gluten free diet, but it would offer some protection against gluten cross contact. I’m sure most of us would agree that would still be a huge game-changer.
Very few potential Celiac treatments have ever made it past Phase 2, so this is a very promising development.
Whoa Dough is based right here in Northeast Ohio and makes gluten free cookie dough and other snacks. Their products are all certified gluten free by GFCO, as well as dairy free, vegan, soy free, nut free, and seed oil free, but they do contain oats.
Burn some calories while raising money for your favorite Celiac Disease organization!
Make a donation and/or fundraise for the Celiac-related organization(s) of your choice. Then meet us in front of Health Plan Superstore at Great Northern Mall at 10:15am on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 to walk 5 kilometers (about 3 laps around the mall) for Celiac Disease. After we complete our walk, if anyone is interested, we can drive to a local gluten free restaurant to have lunch together.
All donations must be sent directly to the organization(s) of your choice. We will NOT be collecting any money at this event.
If you choose to participate in the Celiac Disease Foundation Turkey Trot or Beyond Celiac’s Step Beyond Celiac campaign, your registration fee includes a t-shirt. Or feel free to make or buy your own clothing that raises Celiac Disease awareness! Celiac-related clothing is encouraged but not required to walk with us.
Can’t make it on November 14th? Feel free to make a donation and/or raise money for your favorite organization(s), and walk at a time and place that works for you.
Here are some suggestions of organizations you can donate to or raise funds for:
Cleveland Clinic (specify that you want your donation to go to the Celiac Disease Program)
List of Celiac Disease Centers recognized as Celiac Recognized Units of Excellence by Celiac Disease Foundation’s Society for the Study of Celiac Disease
The Golden Oven Bakery will be opening their new storefront in Kent, OH on Sunday, October 25th, 2026 at 12pm. This will be Kent’s first 100% gluten free bakery!
The Social Cup Coffeehouse & Collective is a new 100% gluten free coffee shop now open in Strongsville near the Town Center Park. Everything is gluten free! All food is dairy free as well, and drinks can be made with or without dairy.
Some items contain gluten free oats, so if you are sensitive to oats you’ll want to let the staff know when ordering.
The Social Cup offers a variety of drinks, plus baked goods from Philomena Bake Shop (Philomena provides the doughs and mixes, and The Social Cup bakes them on site). They also have a small selection of sandwiches and a yogurt cup topped with house-made gluten free granola. There is both indoor and outdoor seating.
The English Muffin breakfast sandwiches are small, and the “panini” sandwiches are larger and come with your choice of apple slices or kettle chips.
If you have kids, there is a small shelf in the back with children’s books and games. In addition, there are two high chairs.
There is a small meeting room that can accommodate about 15 people.
All in all, The Social Cup is an exciting addition to the Celiac community and I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the Strongsville area!
