April 01, 2025When Your Body Betrays You: Understanding the Silent Symptoms of Celiac Disease S:1 E:27Note: Turn it up! Our guest is very soft spoken; unlike your hosts! What if that chronic stomach pain, fatigue, or brain fog isn't just "part of getting older" but a serious autoimmune condition affecting millions? Join mother-grandson duo Jane and Dustyn as they share their personal journeys with celiac disease, an often misunderstood condition that went undiagnosed for decades in Jane's case.You'll discover why the distinction between "gluten-free" and "celiac-safe" could be life-changing for those with this condition. When even 1/350th of a slice of bread can trigger an immune response lasting weeks or months, cross-contamination isn't just an inconvenience—it's a serious health risk. The hosts also explain the connection between untreated celiac and increased cancer risks, and why you should never eliminate gluten before getting tested.Whether you suspect you might have celiac disease or simply want to understand what your gluten-sensitive friends experience, this episode offers insights that could transform how you think about food, chronic illness, and the importance of proper diagnosis. This isn't about following trends—it's about recognizing a legitimate medical condition that affects approximately 1% of Americans, with potentially twice that number undiagnosed.
