In this episode of the Gut Health Dialogues Podcast with Alyssa, Paula opens up about her celiac diagnosis story, from initial confusion and misdiagnosis to the relief of finally understanding her symptoms. 

She discusses the unexpected health disorders (Type 1 Diabetes and Hashimotos) that came with her celiac diagnosis and the steps she took to adapt to a new way of living.

Despite her initial struggles with autoimmune diagnosis, she found ways to manage her condition and now seeks to help others do the same, particularly children who may feel isolated due to their dietary restrictions.

Tune in as they explore the complexities of celiac disease beyond the physical symptoms, touching on the emotional and psychological impacts, the importance of self-advocacy, and the role of community support. 

Whether you're newly diagnosed, a long-time celiac warrior, or someone interested in learning more about this autoimmune disorder, Paula's experiences and insights are sure to resonate and help.
