VIRTUAL EVENT 10/19: How Do You Get a Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity Diagnosis?
You aren’t feeling well. Your symptoms are confusing. Could you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?
What might lead you to consider that you have a gluten intolerance? And if you suspect that, what happens next? Should you start eating gluten-free? (The short answer is: No, not yet).
That’s what we’ll be discussing – in detail – on Tuesday, October 19 at 5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET with three experts who will explain what happens once you start looking into the possibility of a diagnosis.
We’ll hear from a functional nutritionist, a naturopath, and a gastroenterologist and get their perspectives on diagnosing celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. This GIG Virtual Learning Event will demystify the entire diagnosis process.
