EP 133. ¿Debes Dejar El Gluten? Médico Digestivo Aclara Mitos Sobre la Enfermedad Celíaca

Celiac disease is much more than simply "going gluten-free." Although often mistaken for an intolerance or a dietary fad, celiac disease is a lifelong, systemic autoimmune disorder that can affect the intestines and other parts of the body. In this episode, we speak with Laura Crespo, a gastroenterologist and celiac disease specialist, about what celiac disease really is, what happens when a person with celiac disease consumes gluten, and why even small amounts or cross-contamination can be problematic. We also discuss symptoms that can go unnoticed, such as anemia, headaches, fatigue, bloating, osteoporosis, liver problems, recurrent miscarriages, and difficulty concentrating, and why many people are diagnosed after years of delay. Furthermore, we explain how celiac disease is correctly diagnosed, why it's not advisable to eliminate gluten before testing, the role of antibodies, biopsy, genetics, and lymphograms, and what can happen when someone stops eating gluten but continues to experience symptoms. We also address the differences between celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the gluten-free trend, immunogenic gluten peptides, urine and stool tests, cross-contamination, oats, lentils, oils, toasters, lipstick, toothpaste, and other places where gluten may be present without us realizing it. A very useful episode for understanding that celiac disease is not a fad, that the diagnosis must be done correctly, and that living gluten-free requires information, support, and much greater social understanding.
