Podcasts about gluten free living

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 181 Today I'm sharing something a little more personal — 7 symptoms I experienced before being diagnosed with coeliac disease. It's a story I haven't shared in full detail for a while, but after last week's episode, it felt like the right time.Before we get into it, I want to thank Stephen, a longtime listener of the podcast, for joining me last week and opening up about his own coeliac journey. His honesty and insight really struck a chord with so many of you — and with me. It reminded me how powerful it is when we share our stories. If you haven't listened to Stephen's episode yet, I highly recommend going back and giving it a listen. In today's episode, I'm diving into my own pre-diagnosis experience. Like many others, I didn't only have the “typical” gut symptoms that people often associate with coeliac disease. Instead, I was dealing with a mix of physical, emotional, and mental symptoms that took years to connect to what was really going on.Here's what I was experiencing before my diagnosis:Ongoing anxiety that I couldn't explainEpisodes of depression and low moodPersistent joint and back painRecurring, painful mouth ulcersMood swings and irritability that impacted my relationshipsRegular constipation Reflux that would come and go randomlyLooking back, I can now see how all these symptoms were signs that my body was crying out for help — but at the time, it was confusing, frustrating, and exhausting.In this episode, I'll talk through each of those symptoms, what I thought they were caused by at the time, and how I eventually came to understand they were all connected to coeliac disease. My goal is that by sharing my story, it might help someone else piece together their own health puzzle or feel less alone in knowing they weren't the only one dealing with these symptoms. Whether you're at the beginning of your gluten free journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you.Links & Resources:

Unlocking the Truth Behind Gluten-Free Living – It's More Than Just a Diet Are you struggling with health issues that seem impossible to solve? Have you ever wondered if going gluten-free could be the answer? In this post, we'll dive deep into my personal journey, the undeniable health benefits of a gluten-free lifestyle, and why it's so much more than just a diet change. My Journey to Discovering the Power of Living Gluten-Free For over 15 years, I suffered from chronic migraines. They were so debilitating that I had to give up my career as a dental hygienist. The bright lights were unbearable, often making me vomit or even pass out from the pain. Desperate for relief, I went back to school to become an OB/GYN sonographer, just to work in the darkness of an ultrasound room. But the migraines continued. When my daughter Chanelle was two years old, her health took a terrifying turn. She was dangerously underweight, her belly was swollen, and her hair began falling out in large clumps. Doctors feared the worst: cancer, leukemia, even kidney failure. After countless tests, the answer finally emerged—Chanelle had celiac disease. As I supported Chanelle through her gluten-free journey, something incredible happened. My own symptoms started to fade. The constant migraines, fatigue, and brain fog all began to lift. That's when I realized that celiac disease had likely been the root cause of my health problems all along. The Top Health Benefits of Going Gluten-Free The truth is, going gluten-free is about so much more than just cutting out a protein. Here are some of the incredible benefits people experience: Reduced Inflammation: Eliminating gluten can alleviate joint pain, improve digestion, and reduce overall inflammation throughout the body. Better Digestive Health: No more bloating, gas, diarrhea, or discomfort. Many find relief from chronic digestive issues. Enhanced Energy Levels: Going gluten-free can lead to better sleep, sharper focus, and more sustained energy throughout the day. Clearer Skin: Fewer breakouts, reduced redness, and healthier, glowing skin. Mental Clarity: No more brain fog! Improved cognitive function and clearer thinking are common benefits. Overcoming Skepticism on Your Gluten-Free Journey Making a drastic lifestyle change often leads to doubt and skepticism from others—or even yourself. But here's the truth: Going gluten-free isn't a trend or a fad. It's a legitimate health decision that can transform your life. If you're feeling resistance from family or friends, try these tips: Educate Yourself: The more you know about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, the better you can explain your journey to others. Share Your Why: When you communicate why you're going gluten-free, people are more likely to understand and support your decision. Stick to Your Decision: Confidence in your choice will encourage others to respect your lifestyle. Practical Steps to Thrive on a Gluten-Free Diet Learn how to read labels and avoid hidden sources of gluten. Find safe gluten-free alternatives for your favorite foods. Prepare meals at home to avoid cross-contamination. Educate yourself about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Join supportive communities that understand your journey. Ready to Thrive?

A Gluten Free PodcastEpisode 172 On today's episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I sit down with former Triple J radio host, podcaster, author, and yoga instructor Mel Bampton. You might remember Mel from her time on Triple J, where she made waves in Australian music culture—especially as the creator of the iconic Like A Version segment. Mel opens up about the high-energy world of radio, the pressures that came with it, the partying and the health challenges she faced along the way. We discuss her personal journey with migraines, stress, and finding answers in a gluten free lifestyle. Now thriving as a yoga instructor and wellness advocate, Mel shares how she made the transition from the fast-paced entertainment industry to a more mindful, health-focused life.

Welcome back to the PCOS Repair podcast! In this episode,I'm excited to share a case study that highlights the complex relationship between diet, lifestyle, and PCOS symptoms. Join me to explore the journey of Lily, whose experiences with PCOS and food sensitivities offer valuable insights into managing PCOS holistically.Food Sensitivities and PCOSLily was diagnosed with PCOS in her early twenties after experiencing years of irregular periods and hormonal imbalances indicated by lab tests. Despite leading a healthy lifestyle, Lily faced challenges due to her PCOS diagnosis and unrelated food sensitivities. This episode delves into how these elements intertwined in her journey toward starting a family and seeking a healthier life.The Impact of Diet on PCOSThroughout the episode, you'll learn about the myths and realities of how certain foods affect PCOS symptoms. Discover why blanket dietary restrictions like cutting out gluten or dairy may not be necessary for everyone and how individual responses to food can significantly influence PCOS management. The discussion emphasizes the importance of personalized dietary approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.Lily's Path to Understanding Her BodyFollow Lily's experiment with eliminating and reintroducing various foods under guidance, which led to fascinating discoveries about her body's specific reactions to gluten and dairy. This process not only helped Lily manage her PCOS symptoms better but also empowered her to make informed choices about her diet. The story of Lily reinforces the concept that managing PCOS effectively requires a deep understanding of one's body and the factors that uniquely affect each individual.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereThe full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/130Let's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 152Change is inevitable. Change is hard. Change forces us to adopt new habits and ways of doing things. Change helps us grow. If anything is certain in life, it is that change will occur. It's really the only the only thing we can count on. Nothing stays the same. This couldn't be more true than in our coeliac and gluten free lives. We must come to terms with the fact that our lives change when we have a coeliac disease diagnosis or we go gluten free for another health reason. We will grieve our former lives before we went gluten free. We will miss how we used to be able to socialise, travel and leave the house without planning and preparing so much. Everything changes once we go gluten free. But, does that have to be a bad thing? Well, that's something I've been battling to answer in my own coeliac and gluten free journey lately.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 147 I have something to admit to you gluten free fam: up until recently - I missed oats. I missed having porridge for breakfast. It was quick, easy & no mucking around. Unfortunately oats can't be deemed gluten free in Australia - this may change soon so stay tuned. So until that happens Aussies with coeliac or who are gluten free for other reasons might be looking for alternatives. I'm constantly asked “where can I find some decent gluten free granola or porridge that doesn't taste bad or have a million ingredients in them” - my answer: Bask & Co. Today I'm joined by the founder to talk about running a successful small business in the gluten free community & what it's actually like to start from very humble grassroots beginnings to now being stocked on supermarket shelves nationally.

Processes which didn't take us long in the past now take much longer due to planning, preparation, communication or waiting for other reasons. How do we use patience to the best of our ability during these times? I've been working on this question for the past 4 years & I have learnt a lot along the way.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 138 On today's episode of Gluten Free Thoughts we'll be chatting gluten free maths gluten free fam! Don't worry... I hate maths & I'm not really good at it either so we'll keep it really simple - I promise! We'll only be talking about addition & subtraction in our coeliac & gluten free lives. So much is taken away from us when we're diagnosed with coeliac disease (obviously gluten is taken out of our lives). With gluten taken out we need to replace it with something, much like we do whenever we take something away from our lives - it needs to be replaced by something to fill its place & return our bodies to where they naturally want to exist: in homeostasis. What we'll cover: * My recent experience taking a course of antibiotics & using probiotics * How we can break down complex health conditions into what we can take away from our lives & add back in to help our bodies return to homeostasis  * Reflecting on last week's episode with Sally Marchini  * How having a coeliac disease diagnosis & going gluten free forces us to add in other things to counteract taking gluten out of our lives  * Adding in positive experiences, nutrition & social * What I've added into my life since my coeliac disease diagnosis, going gluten free & becoming a parent * Teaser of next week's episode  Links Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook GroupGet in touchYou can find me on Instagram @a.gffamily or send an email to aglutenfreefamily@gmail.com

Given the physical, mental & emotional trauma of infertility & miscarriage, clearly this is a discussion which needs way more attention. My guest today is well aware of these issues.

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 15 Gluten Free Indian Cuisine   Indian food is one of my favorite ethnic dishes, so I'm so glad that East Indian cuisine is mostly naturally gluten free! Besides naan bread, and some samosas - which are the East Indian version of a burrito - most other dishes do not have gluten. Today, I'll give you information on popular Indian dishes that typically do not contain gluten that I've eaten in the past. As always, check with the chef or cook at the restaurant you're eating at to make sure your food is safe!   Be Aware of Gluten in Lentils   Because the FDA allows up to 10% of another grain in lentils, I try to avoid lentils as much as possible. However, there are several dishes, including the crisp wafer Papadam, that are made from lentils. The one time I was sick from Indian food was cross-contamination of the lentils in the dish.   Four Types of Indian Cuisine based on Region   North Indian cuisine is known for its robust flavors and extensive use of dairy products, such as ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese). Popular dishes include biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, naan bread, and various lentil-based dishes like dal makhani.   South Indian cuisine is primarily vegetarian and is characterized by its generous use of rice, lentils, coconut, and spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chilies. Popular dishes include dosa (fermented rice and lentil crepes), idli (steamed rice and lentil cakes), sambhar (spicy lentil soup), and rasam (tangy soup).   East Indian cuisine is known for its seafood, sweets, and subtle flavors. Rice and fish are staple ingredients in this cuisine. Popular dishes include macher jhol (fish curry), sandesh (a sweet made from cottage cheese and sugar), and rasgulla (a syrupy dessert made from cheese curds).   West Indian cuisine is known for its spicy and vibrant flavors. It heavily relies on ingredients like garlic, ginger, and chilies. Popular dishes include pav bhaji (a spicy mashed vegetable curry served with bread), vada pav (a spicy potato fritter sandwich), dhokla (steamed fermented chickpea flour snack), and various Gujarati thalis (platters) featuring a wide variety of vegetarian dishes.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 11 Gluten Free Food Tours with Katrina McGhee   Finding Gluten Free Friendly Food Tours While Traveling   Are you scared to take a gluten free food tour? Even with my experience, I avoid food tours because I don't trust that someone else will ask the right questions for me. Today, I chat with Katrina McGhee, who is gluten intolerant - not Celiac - about how she approaches and asks about food tours. Caution: If you're Celiac you will want to use your own judgment with food tour safety. Look for a food tour with dedicated gluten free restaurants or a completely gluten free food tour.   Questions to Ask Food Tour Operators   If you find a food tour, look to see if they mention food allergies or accommodating food allergies. If they don't, you can reach out to the tour operator and ask them directly the following questions: Have you had someone with a food allergy on your tour? What gluten free offerings do these places have? Are all these locations familiar with gluten allergies? What is the protocol at these places? Do you offer exclusive gluten free food tours?   Be Cautious When Booking a Food Tour   Even when you ask all the right questions, you can still end up getting food you can't eat. Although my guest did a variety of food tours, I personally wouldn't book a food tour. Why? Because they are too risky to chance getting sick because I have to depend on the knowledge and experience of someone else to vet food establishments and I'm not personally willing to take that risk.   Katrina is gluten intolerant, not Celiac, and if you're intolerant you have more food options. You don't have to worry about cross contamination and you don't get as sick. My advice is if you're intolerant, you could safely eat on a food tour. If you're Celiac, I wouldn't book a food tour unless it was a tour in Italy or another gluten-free friendly place, and the tour locations were exclusively gluten free. For me, it would be too stressful and not fun if I had to watch everyone else enjoying their food after I paid for a food tour ticket on my vacation.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 10 How to Travel with Disabilities featuring Jen Hardy   What does it mean to travel with disabilities? What is a disability and what do you need to know if you're traveling with disabilities? My friend and fellow female podcaster Jen Hardy from the Fabulous Over Fifty podcast (formerly the Hardy Moms Podcast) also has multiple disabilities, including an auto-immune disease which leaves her without energy and the ability to walk or stand on her own. Traveling with a walker, Jen is here to give us tips on how to travel when you have to carry medical devices as a result of your disability. She also tells her story with her experience on United Airlines and how they left her in the terminal, alone, after forgetting to order her a wheelchair and not assisting her off the airplane with a walking aide.   What Does it Mean to Travel with a Disability?   A disability is when a person has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. These include auto-immune disease, cancer, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other impairments. It's very common that if you have one disability, you have another. For me, I have 10 disabilities - some of them physical, some mental such as my PTSD I have from being raised in an abusive household. Although you can't see most disabilities in physical form, they are there. When others can't see our disabilities, it makes it hard for them to understand how we have to adjust in our daily life and especially when we travel.   Always Take Your Medication on the Plane with You   Depending on your disability, you may have to use a walker, diabetic medication, cane, brace or support, and most likely you are traveling with medication. Always, always, always take your medication with you on the plane. Take a medical bag because this can be your extra third bag that is excluded from your two you can take on the plane because of medical reasons. While you don't have to have a doctor's letter or note, I would highly recommend geting a medical bag for your medications.    When flying gluten-free, you want to know about this not-well-known piece of information. If you have a disability, and any auto-immune disease is considered a disability, you have the right to carry one extra bag for medical supplies. In addition to the two bags you can carry on, you get one extra. Here's the link to the TSA article, which explains in detail what you can bring and what they allow on the airplane when you travel with a medical bag.    Don't have a medical bag? Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag. I just picked one up from Amazon, and I'm very excited to travel with this handy medical bag. I've been able to stuff lots of supplements and all my prescriptions, along with my spray hand sanitizer, into this convenient bag that has a shoulder strap for easy carrying through the airport.  And if you need a clear, quart-sized travel case for your toiletries because the TSA agent took yours the last time you went through security (like the rude agent who I encountered at the St. Louis airport), then grab this amazing deal from CBGE! Three TSA-approved quart-sized toiletry bags for men or women for under $11.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!
