Liz Purvis - Celebrating Coeliacs of Colour & Advocating for Equal Representation

This week we spoke to Liz Purvis, an awesome content creator who is a gluten free content creator in the US who is advocating for better representation and health equality in coeliac disease. We spoke to Liz about how she founded the Celiacs of Color Collective, and about studies which suggest coeliac disease is under diagnosed in people of colour.

Liz also talked about her GERD and IBS diagnoses and how she’s on a mission to visit every single gluten free bakery across the States.
