Welcome to the Go-to Podcast for Moms Who Want to Clean Up their Lifestyle & Get Control of their Health!
In this episode, we dive into Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, causing intestinal damage and nutrient deficiencies. Learn its genetic roots, symptoms like bloating and fatigue, and why a strict gluten-free diet is the only treatment. We explore Gluten Intolerance (non-celiac gluten sensitivity), a milder condition with similar symptoms but no intestinal harm—its cause remains unclear. And finally, Wheat Allergy, a true IgE-mediated allergy to wheat proteins, brings rapid reactions like hives or anaphylaxis. We break down key differences in an interview with my sister, Wynne Marsh, who has Celiac Disease. Tune in to understand these conditions and take control of your health with expert insights!
