A Look at Developments in Psycho-Gastroenterology The Gluten-Free Guide

The field of psychology and how it relates to gastroenterology is rapidly expanding and today we are going to talk all about it...or more specifically, psycho-gastroenterology. To explain the intricacies of this unique field, we’ve got Dr. Shayna Coburn from our Celiac Disease Program at Children’s National in the studio. Dr. Coburn runs the psychological services for our Program which includes offering consultations and empirically-supported interventions to help families navigate the challenges of diagnosis of celiac disease and management of the gluten-free diet. She also lives a gluten-free lifestyle herself, so she is very equipped to help navigate this topic!
