What We Talk About

• Erin's journey to becoming a celiac-focused registered dietitian and creating The Celiac Space.
• Why having no symptoms doesn’t mean it’s safe to eat gluten if you have celiac disease.
• The wide range of celiac symptoms beyond digestion, including neurological and hormonal issues.
• The truth about testing and diagnosis: bloodwork, endoscopy, genetics, and common missteps.
• Why sourdough, ancient grains, and gluten-removed products are not safe for celiacs.
• The real difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
• Myths around eating gluten in Europe and the misunderstanding about glyphosate.
• The risks of cross-contact: shared fryers, cutting boards, toasters, and restaurant mistakes.
• Why oats aren’t always safe and what to know about purity protocols and labeling.
• Digestive enzymes and the false belief they allow celiacs to eat gluten safely.
• How Erin supports clients through her virtual practice, pediatric care, and gluten-free resource app.
