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.

Autoimmune diseases, their apparent increase and the role of early diagnosis.

They also analyze the influence of stress, diet, and certain nutrients, aiming to better understand autoimmunity and reduce fear.
