Food allergies and celiac disease are becoming more common, especially in the elderly population. Through online lessons, recipe videos and knowledge checks, caregivers will learn how to do the following:

• Protect elders from a food allergy reaction or complications from celiac disease at mealtime.
• Inform elders of food and beverage choices they can safely enjoy.
• Identify allergen and gluten-containing foods.
• Recognize food allergy sources on food labels.
• Prevent cross contact of allergens during food preparation.
