In this week’s episode, I share my journey with coeliac disease. I explore what coeliac disease is, the symptoms, how it is diagnosed, what treatment looks like, and long-term side effects if left untreated. This episode is a great one for those who would like to learn more about coeliac disease and/or my journey with it.

I discuss:

• What coeliac disease is and what damage it causes the gut (2:30)
• How coeliac disease is developed. Are some people more susceptible to developing coeliac disease than others? (6:20) 
• The story of my diagnosis with coeliac disease (8:50)
• How coeliac disease is diagnosed (16:30)
• Symptoms of coeliac disease (21:00)
• Advice for coeliacs when eating out (29:00)
• Treatment of coeliac disease and the long term risks of ignoring this (25:00)
• Healing the gut from coeliac disease. How long does it take for the gut to return to ‘normal’? (32:47)
