    What happens when a stubborn bug in 2020 turns into a life-altering diagnosis? Ben Hampton's story is one of resilience and discovery as he battled mysterious symptoms like brain fog and weight loss, ultimately leading to his celiac disease diagnosis. As my guest on the Healthy Celiac Podcast, Ben shares his journey through the frustrating maze of getting medical answers amid a global pandemic, highlighting the often-ignored issue of men's health and the importance of listening to our bodies.

    Throughout our conversation, we delve into the emotional aspects of Ben's diagnosis, the critical role of a friend's guidance, and the relief that came with finally understanding his health concerns. We discuss the vital importance of testing, especially for families with a history of related conditions, and how simple dietary changes can drastically improve life with celiac disease. Ben also shares how his personal experience inspired him to transition from a music career to advocacy, focusing on raising awareness through his platform, www.glutenfreefamily.com.au.

    From reshaping the stigma around men's health to fostering community support and awareness, this episode offers valuable insights into the evolving conversations around celiac disease. We explore the societal shift towards better understanding and accommodation of dietary needs, and how these changes can lead to a future where celiac disease is as well-known and managed as other common conditions. Join us as we aim to inspire, educate, and advocate for a healthier, more informed society.

    Grieving the loss of gluten sounds like an unusual concept, but for those diagnosed with celiac disease, the emotional journey is all too real. Imagine suddenly having to give up foods that have been a staple in your life, and the whirlwind of emotions that follow. This episode takes you through the often-overlooked emotional stages that accompany a celiac diagnosis.

    You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the five stages of grief when it comes to your new gluten free lifestyle: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Life changes dramatically when you're told to eliminate gluten, and these stages highlight the complexity of adjusting.

    This episode not only acknowledges these feelings but also provides comfort and encouragement, reminding you that whatever emotions you're experiencing are normal and part of a journey of healing and growth.

    What happens when your symptoms scream celiac disease, but your test results come back negative? In today's episode I'm chatting about non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) through the lens of personal stories, including my own celiac diagnosis and my son's journey with NCGS.

    Explore the complexities of living with non-celiac gluten sensitivity, especially in children who endure symptoms just as severe as celiac disease itself. I share about our experiences with both public and private gastroenterologists, and how they ultimately led to my son’s diagnosis. We'll tackle the misconception that gluten can occasionally be consumed with NCGS and argue for a more serious and diligent approach to its management.

    Imagine transforming your life by simply letting go—of clutter, of stress, of what's unnecessary. I found myself doing just that, shifting from a self-confessed hoarder to more of a minimalist during my pregnancy. This change not only eased the burden of too many belongings but also helped lower my stress and mental load while managing my celiac disease more effectively.

    Join me as I chat about my journey, where minimalism isn't just about having less but about making room for what truly matters.

    I'll give you practical strategies to declutter your kitchen and wardrobe, creating environments that are not only safer but also more efficient for managing celiac disease.
    By simplifying meal planning with the "cook once, eat twice" approach, you'll find more time and less stress in your day. Embrace mindfulness and minimalism as I discuss reducing external stressors and being intentional about what occupies our lives.
    Learn how to reject the superfluous and focus on progress over perfection. Resources like 'The Minimalists' works are recommended for those eager to explore this fulfilling lifestyle further.
    I hope this episode inspires you to lead a more intentional, stress-free life.
