    Imagine having your entire world shift because of something as common as bread. Lina joins us to share her incredible journey of living with celiac disease for over 23 years, navigating the complexities from her teenage years through adulthood. Her story is a poignant reminder of the importance of understanding and managing this autoimmune disorder, as she candidly discusses the initial confusion and challenges she faced, including chronic migraines and the social hurdles during occasions like Halloween. Lina's experiences highlight the necessity of a strict gluten-free diet to prevent malnutrition and the vigilance required in avoiding hidden gluten sources.

She recounts her struggles with chronic headaches and stomach pains, leading to numerous doctor visits and the eventual realization that opened the door to managing her health. Her encounter with a teacher, who first introduced her to the concept of celiac disease, underscores the power of awareness and the critical role it plays in understanding one's health journey. This episode uncovers the distinctions between gluten intolerance, allergies, and how each impacts social interactions, especially when dining out.

    Lina also tackles the frustrations with misconceptions around gluten-free diets, highlighting the challenges faced when others perceive it as a fad or a weight loss strategy.

Moreover, the episode emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy and being attuned to your health and the health of loved ones. Through Lina's story, we encourage listeners to trust their instincts, seek accurate diagnoses, and advocate for themselves, backed by the support of family and informed choices.
