Episode 138
On today's episode of Gluten Free Thoughts we'll be chatting gluten free maths gluten free fam! Don't worry... I hate maths & I'm not really good at it either so we'll keep it really simple - I promise! We'll only be talking about addition & subtraction in our coeliac & gluten free lives. So much is taken away from us when we're diagnosed with coeliac disease (obviously gluten is taken out of our lives). With gluten taken out we need to replace it with something, much like we do whenever we take something away from our lives - it needs to be replaced by something to fill its place & return our bodies to where they naturally want to exist: in homeostasis.
What we'll cover:
* My recent experience taking a course of antibiotics & using probiotics
* How we can break down complex health conditions into what we can take away from our lives & add back in to help our bodies return to homeostasis
* Reflecting on last week's episode with Sally Marchini
* How having a coeliac disease diagnosis & going gluten free forces us to add in other things to counteract taking gluten out of our lives
* Adding in positive experiences, nutrition & social
* What I've added into my life since my coeliac disease diagnosis, going gluten free & becoming a parent
* Teaser of next week's episode

Episode 137
WARNING: this episode contains information & in depth discussions around miscarriage & infertility. If you're not comfortable with these topics please skip this episode & return when you are.
Amongst the between 200 - 300 symptoms of coeliac disease are unfortunately infertility & miscarriage. Infertility affects about 1 in 6 Australian couples who are trying to fall pregnant & miscarriages occur in at least 15% of confirmed pregnancies but the actual miscarriage rate is likely to be much higher, estimated to be around 1 in 4 pregnancies. Given the physical, mental & emotional trauma of infertility & miscarriage, clearly this is a discussion which needs way more attention.
My guest today is well aware of these issues. Being an accredited practising dietitian specialising in female fertility nutrition & personally having been through a diagnosis of diabetes & coeliac disease which complicated her own pregnancy - she’s here to help guide women throughout their fertility journey in what can otherwise be an extremely confusing & contradictory area.
My guest on today’s episode is accredited practising dietitian & founder of Marchini Nutrition, Sally Marchini. We’ll talk about Sally’s personal coeliac & diabetes journey, the relationship between coeliac disease & fertility issues & how to optimise gluten free nutrition before & during pregnancy.
What we’ll cover:
* Sally’s background & work as a dietitian & speciality in gluten free fertility nutrition
* Sally’s own coeliac disease & diabetes journey
* How coeliac disease can affect fertility & pregnancies
* Coeliac disease affecting both male & female fertility
* Coeliac disease connection to PCOS, Endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage, low iron & nutrient deficiencies
* Specific advice around the gluten free diet & fertility/ pregnancy
* Fertility gluten free diet supplementation
* Sally’s pregnancy issues when diagnosed with diabetes
* Where Sally is focussing her work
