Hot girls have celiac disease — but going gluten free doesn’t magically fix everything.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I sit down for a real, girly chat with Justi from @Celiac_Baddie about what no one tells you after your diagnosis.

We talk about the reality of autoimmune fatigue, still having symptoms after going gluten free, and the confusion that can come with trying to “do everything right” — but still not feeling 100%.

We get into:

• Persistent constipation (yes, we’re saying it)
• Depression & anxiety as celiac symptoms
• Nutrient deficiencies and long-term management
• The gaslighting so many of us experience
• Finding out things aren’t actually gluten free
• Why meeting with the right dietitian matters
• Navigating relationships with celiac disease
• Living gluten free in NYC vs Miami
• And our biggest pet peeves with “gluten friendly”

If you’ve ever thought,
“Why am I still tired?”
“Why do I still feel off?”
“Am I doing something wrong?”

This episode is for you.

You’re not crazy.
You’re not dramatic.
And you’re definitely not alone.

Welcome back to your wellness girlie safe space 🤍

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I’m joined by Carlos Santos, founder of NADAS — the NYC-born empanada company that has quietly become a safe haven for the celiac and food allergy community.

We talk about:
• Building a food startup in NYC during COVID

When your child is diagnosed with celiac disease, everything changes — and suddenly, you’re responsible for keeping them safe in a world full of gluten, questions, and uncertainty.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I sit down with Staci Leibson, a mom to a child with celiac disease and celiac life coach & mentor from The Celiac Shift, to share the parent perspective of raising a child with celiac disease — a conversation we’ve never had on the podcast before.

We talk about Staci’s son Jude’s diagnosis story, how she navigated the emotional shock and day-to-day logistics as a parent, and what she’s learned along the way about advocacy, mindset, and resilience. We also discuss why the way you talk to yourself — and to your child — about celiac disease truly matters, and how that language can shape confidence, independence, and self-worth.

This episode also breaks down how celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, how parents can use that as a resource for 504 plans at school, and how to advocate for your child in classrooms, social settings, and beyond. We also explore the decision to have a mixed household and what that can look like in real life.

Plus, you’ll hear directly from Jude himself — and what Staci wishes she knew at the beginning of their celiac journey that she knows now.

Whether you’re a parent of a newly diagnosed child, navigating school accommodations, or simply looking for reassurance that you’re doing the best you can — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I’m joined by Jenny Lipof (@glutenfreejennyy) who was diagnosed with celiac disease at just one year old — meaning she has never known life with gluten.

We have an honest conversation about what it’s really like growing up gluten-free, from childhood through college, and the anxiety that often comes with managing a strict gluten-free diet — a side of celiac disease that isn’t talked about enough.

We dive into:

• What it means to be diagnosed with celiac so young

• Getting accidentally glutened and the physical and emotional aftermath

• Food anxiety and the mental load of being gluten-free

• Navigating school, social life, and college with celiac disease

• Rebuilding a healthy relationship with food through food therapy

• Tools like Find Me Gluten Free and how they help

• The unexpected life lessons celiac teaches you — from self-advocacy to resilience

Whether you were diagnosed as a child, later in life, or are supporting someone with celiac disease, this episode offers validation, perspective, and a reminder that you’re not alone in this.

Living gluten-free doesn’t have to feel this hard — but in the U.S., it often does.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I’m joined by Riley Neubauer, who was diagnosed with celiac disease at 12 and now lives in London after years in the U.S. Together, we break down why living gluten-free feels noticeably easier in the UK — and where the U.S. falls short.

We unpack the real-world differences between the UK and U.S. when it comes to:

• Restaurant allergen rules and why eating out feels safer abroad

• Grab-and-go food labeling (including why Natasha’s Law is a game-changer)

• Packaged food labeling and what “gluten-free” actually means in each country

• The mental load, anxiety, and trust required to eat safely

• How fewer accidental exposures can impact symptoms and quality of life

We also discuss this week’s Gluten-Free Favorite (Hello Gluten Free Cheezits), break down the new American food pyramid, and explore how food policy and labeling shape everyday health — especially for people who have to avoid gluten out of necessity.

This episode isn’t about saying one country is “better” — it’s about understanding how systems, laws, and food culture directly affect people living gluten-free, and what the U.S. could learn from the UK to make life safer and less exhausting.

Dry January & Celiac Disease: The Truth About Alcohol and Inflammation

Thinking about Dry January with celiac disease? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I’m breaking down the real relationship between alcohol, inflammation, and celiac disease — without fear-mongering or shame. After posting a few videos about how alcohol can feel different in a celiac body, I wanted to take this conversation deeper and give you the full picture.

We talk about why alcohol can hit harder when you have celiac disease, even when drinks are technically gluten-free. From gut permeability and inflammation to nutrient depletion, sleep, anxiety, and energy levels, I explain what’s actually happening inside the body — and why so many people with celiac feel “off” after drinking.

I also share my personal experience with alcohol, why I’m doing Dry January this year, and how I use breaks from drinking as a data-gathering reset, not a punishment. Whether you’re fully participating in Dry January, starting late, or just curious about how alcohol affects your health, this episode is about making informed, empowered choices — not giving anything up forever.

Plus, we cover:

-Why “gluten-free” alcohol doesn’t always mean symptom-free

-How alcohol contributes to inflammation and slows gut healing in celiac disease

-The role of nutrient depletion (including calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins)

-Tips for staying celiac-safe and minimizing inflammation when drinking

-How Dry January can help you better understand your body’s signals

-If this episode helps you think differently about alcohol and your health, that’s a win.
