In this episode, we’ll explore what happens in the body when someone with celiac disease consumes gluten, share personal anecdotes and stories of famous figures who have dealt with the condition, and discuss the best strategies for managing celiac disease, including dietary changes and medications. 🌾💪 #CeliacDisease #GlutenFree #HealthAwareness
