Understanding Celiac Disease and the Latest Research

On this week's episode, we review celiac disease. We talk about what it is, and what goes wrong inside the body. We discuss the underlying genetic factors and why genetics alone aren't enough to guarantee celiac disease. We wrap up on a hopeful note, exploring new avenues to be explored in clinical research trials.References:Lebwohl, B., & Rubio-Tapia, A. (2021).
