Mission

Consolidated expertise on grain and gluten-related disorders for your practice: here we share our mission.

Better knowledge, awareness and education about GRD

With our nutritional expertise, we lay the foundation for evidence-based advice and therapy. Cereal and gluten-related disorders (GRD) are complex conditions that require precise medical diagnosis and qualified nutritional therapy. The Dr. Schär Institute's mission is to deepen expertise, raise awareness and strengthen education in this area.

Strengthening and promoting healthy dietary choices

Nutrition is more than just food intake - it is a crucial factor for health and quality of life. With our expertise in nutritional therapy, we see it as our responsibility to strengthen and promote medical diagnosis and qualified nutritional therapy.

Bundled expertise for cereal and gluten-related diseases

We pool relevant knowledge on GRD for doctors and nutritionists: from coeliac disease diagnosis and its differentiation from wheat allergy, gluten/wheat sensitivity and irritable bowel syndrome, to appropriate nutritional therapy options such as gluten-free diets and low FODMAP. Our specialist portal centralises the latest studies and dates, practical materials and opportunities for further training and interdisciplinary exchange.

Interdisciplinary networking and collaboration

By connecting nutrition therapy experts, self-help groups and key opinion leaders, we promote awareness and education about GRD. We invest in knowledge and innovation and integrate nutritional science perspectives into all phases of our work. Our goal: to build trust and support professionals and those affected by GRD to actively shape their health.
