Episode Summary
Celiac disease is often dismissed as just a gluten issue — but for millions, the reality is far more complex.
In this episode, Fempower Health breaks down two new studies showing:
- Why diagnosis is still delayed — especially for women, people of color, and patients with clear symptoms.
- How an immune “scar” in the gut can cause ongoing symptoms, even with a strict gluten-free diet.
- What this means for anyone still feeling dismissed or untreated.
If you’ve struggled with gut issues, chronic symptoms, or frustrating medical visits, this is for you.
Listen now to learn
- The top risk factors that should lead to celiac testing — but often don’t
- What researchers found when they looked at individual gut cells
- How to use this knowledge to ask better questions about your health
