EP 133. Gluten and Celiac Disease: What You Need to Know About Symptoms and Diagnosis - Laura Crespo
Celiac disease is an autoimmune and systemic condition that goes far beyond simply eliminating gluten from your diet. In this episode, joined by Dr. Laura Crespo, we take a deep dive into what actually happens when a person with celiac disease consumes gluten, how the disease is correctly diagnosed, and why it is essential not to remove gluten before undergoing testing. Furthermore, we address common and lesser-known symptoms, the differences between celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and we answer questions about cross-contamination and everyday foods and products that may inadvertently contain gluten. An essential episode for understanding celiac disease through scientific evidence and debunking common myths.
