Imagine feeling unwell but not knowing why—this is the reality for many before they are diagnosed with celiac disease. Join me and my co-host Jenni, who's been navigating the choppy waters of this autoimmune disorder, as we unravel the wide array of symptoms that celiac disease can present. From the digestive system havoc to the more covert signs like unexplained fatigue, we cover it all. We share not just the clinical side but also the personal challenges and the importance of catching the signs early for a better quality of life.

The journey to a celiac disease diagnosis can be fraught with confusion and missteps. Hear about Jenni’s own experience with the diagnostic process, where a gluten-free diet nearly concealed the true level of damage to her intestines. We dive into the significance of the Marsh score system in assessing intestinal damage and how it guides the treatment and management of the disease. This is a chapter where you'll learn about the trials of living with celiac disease and the unwavering diligence needed to avoid further health complications.

Lastly, we talk about the everyday struggles and adaptations that come with managing celiac disease. From the meticulous art of label reading to the social dance of dining out safely, we share the strategies that make living gluten-free manageable. We wrap up by thanking you, our listeners, and encourage you to get involved in our wellness community. Hear our stories, share your own, and let's navigate the gluten-free lifestyle together. Your health journey matters to us, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
