Customer Reviews
Very Helpful
Just discovered this podcast and really hope there will be a Season 2 because there is so much more helpful information for Dr Pastore to share. Thank you, thank you! Please continue. Suggest a show dealing with how to get tested for Celiac Disease when you’re already gluten free but have big issues with accidental gluten exposure ie migraines, insomnia, diarrhea, skin rashes.
Life saver!!
I am 35 years old and recently diagnosed with celiac. I had no clue what that meant and it turns out, neither did my doctor. There is so much important information about celiac in this podcast. It has really helped me learn about and understand the disease. I really appreciate it!!
