If you’ve ever wondered whether gluten digest enzymes actually work — especially if you have celiac disease — this episode is for you. 

I’m going to share what the research says, what these enzymes are designed to do, and also our personal experience using them cautiously for accidental exposure. 

This is not about replacing a strict gluten-free diet. It’s about understanding what these products can and cannot realistically do.

Have you ever eaten something, felt fine, and then hours later or even the next day felt terrible and wondered, was that gluten? 

Delayed gluten reactions are incredibly common, but they're also incredibly confusing. Today we're going to talk about why gluten reactions aren't always immediate, what happens in the body, and how to think about delayed symptoms without spiraling into anxiety. If you've ever second-guessed yourself after a reaction, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever been told you have IBS and walked away feeling confused, dismissed, or still sick, I want you to know you’re not alone. 

IBS is a real diagnosis — but for many people, it’s also the label given when we don’t yet understand what’s actually irritating the gut. Today, I want to talk about why IBS is so commonly diagnosed, what it really means, and why it often becomes a stopping point when it should be the beginning of deeper answers. My goal here isn’t to criticize doctors — it’s to help you feel empowered to keep asking questions if you’re still not feeling well.

If food makes you nervous now that you are gluten free — if you overthink menus, hesitate at social events, or feel a pit in your stomach when you’re not in control of the food — I want you to know this first: you’re not broken, dramatic, or doing gluten-free wrong. Food anxiety is incredibly common when you’re gluten-free, especially with celiac or gluten sensitivity. 

Today, we’re talking about why that anxiety develops, why it makes sense, and how to start loosening its grip without ignoring your safety.

One of the most confusing parts of going gluten-free is this: you remove gluten, you follow all the rules, and you’re still not feeling great. You’re eating foods that are technically gluten-free… so why are you still bloated, foggy, or uncomfortable? 

Today, I want to talk about the gluten-free foods that actually hurt my healing, even though they were considered safe. This episode isn’t about fear or restriction. It’s about understanding your body and giving yourself permission to listen to it. 

Stick around until the end, because I’ll share the biggest mindset shift that helped me stop chasing ‘perfect’ gluten-free eating.

But honestly? The things I STOPPED doing made the biggest difference in how I felt and how confident I became. 

Today, I’m sharing the habits, mindsets, and patterns I stopped once I started living gluten-free — and why those changes completely transformed my healing.
