On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Claire Baker, Senior Communications Director at Beyond Celiac, the leading celiac disease advocacy organization in the United States.

Claire was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010. Her symptoms, which included long-term severe anemia, GI problems, brain fog and more, revealed that she may have gone undiagnosed for decades.

Today we will discuss with Claire celiac disease – what it is, symptoms, diagnosis and management. As well as Beyond Celiac and their role in the Celiac community.

We also talk about:

Cross contact

Getting "glutened" after removing gluten from diet

Getting a proper official diagnosis from medically certified doctors and the pitfalls of self-diagnosis

Reading labels

Dining Out

Diversity

Sharing Your Story

Research and Clinical Trials

Hidden sources of gluten such as make-up, medicines and more.
