I have suffered from an eating disorder for much of my life. It was something that started while I was in high school and has followed me until today. I tried to not let it overtake my life, but it severely worsened when I got diagnosed with Celiac, IBS, and Crohn's Disease. Food was causing me so much pain, that I thought if I ignored it, I would feel more like myself. It worked for some time, but left me not solving the root issues of my health and left me with a poor relationship with food. I...

Perhaps they unwittingly make remarks about your condition that wound you deeply, unaware of how profoundly your diagnosis has reshaped your id...

Halloween is here! To me, it's the best season and maybe the best holiday of the year, but as someone with Celiac Disease, it can often be hard to feel included. Why, you may ask?

All you have to do to heal from Celiac, IBS, EOE, and other autoimmune diseases is to eat gluten-free correct?

Today, I am discussing a topic that has been very hard for me to talk about in the past and present: the connection between Celiac Disease and Disordered Eating/Body Dysmorphia.
