A Gluten Free Podcast
Episode 173
In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I’ll be talking about why it’s crucial not to cut out gluten before getting tested for coeliac disease. I’ll break down the science behind testing, the risks of going gluten-free too soon, and why getting an accurate diagnosis matters. Plus, I’ll share a personal update on my bone density and what I’ve learned since my last scan.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
✅ Recap of my episode with Mel Bampton, former Triple J Radio Host
✅ The risks of self-diagnosing and cutting out gluten too soon
✅ Importance of ingesting gluten before being screened for coeliac disease
✅ Steps to take if you suspect you have coeliac disease
✅ Coeliac disease testing and diagnosis process
✅ My coeliac disease diagnosis story and why I cut out gluten pre-diagnosis
✅ Why I decided to do the gluten challenge and have a formal coeliac disease diagnosis
✅ My latest bone density results and what they mean for my health
✅ Teaser of next week's guest episode
I also want your input—jump on our Instagram or Facebook group and share your diagnosis story. Are you currently doing a gluten challenge or cut out gluten and looking at doing it? Are you newly diagnosed with coeliac disease? We'd love to hear from you!
