Description
A Gluten Free Podcast
Episode 14
Welcome to a new segment called Gluten Free Thoughts on A Gluten Free Podcast. In these episodes, I share personal insights from my own gluten free life and highlight important news or topics in the gluten free community.
In this episode, I talk openly about the gluten challenge I undertook before my endoscopic biopsy to confirm my coeliac disease diagnosis. I kept a detailed diary of the foods I ate and the symptoms I experienced throughout the challenge. You’ll hear how my symptoms changed over time — spoiler alert: it does get easier as you go along!
If you or someone you know is currently on a gluten challenge or about to start one, this episode is for you. When I was doing the challenge, hearing others’ stories helped me stay motivated and hopeful. I hope sharing mine will do the same for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- What a gluten challenge involves and why it’s necessary for coeliac diagnosis
- My personal symptom diary and how symptoms evolved
- Practical tips and encouragement for anyone doing the gluten challenge
- Resources from Coeliac Australia on the gluten challenge
