Most people know (or have at least heard) of gluten and understand that some may be affected by an intolerance of it, but many are unaware that this immune reaction to eating gluten is actually called celiac disease. Today on Fertility Forward, Jessica Lebovits, RD, CDN, joins us to discuss her journey with celiac disease and how the diagnosis ultimately affected her fertility. Jessica is now a celiac disease specialist (among others) and she explains how her positive outlook on her diagnosis led her to pursue and embrace it as a specialization in nutrition. We discuss the ins and outs of celiac disease: what causes it, why it’s still relatively unknown, and how to treat it. Jessica then walks us through her fertility story and how a PCOS diagnosis sparked a lasting relationship with RMA’s very own Rena Gower. To end, here’s a gentle reminder that there is always something to be grateful for.
