The Celiac Project Podcast

Mike and Cam look back on their summer and share some of their favorite gluten-free discoveries, travel experiences, and lessons learned along the way. From great gluten free meals and memorable trips to restaurant disappointments, cross-contact challenges, and learning when to pivot, they talk about the realities of navigating celiac disease while on the go. Plus, they look ahead to fall and what they're excited about next.

Mike and Cam welcome recently diagnosed celiac Carl Ashworth to the podcast. Carl shares his journey from years of unexplained symptoms to diagnosis, and how celiac disease has impacted his life as a young professional, cybersecurity specialist, and member of the Air National Guard. They also discuss the challenges of cross-contamination, workplace and military accommodations, the importance of celiac awareness, and finding support through the celiac community.

Mike and Cam dive into listener letters, including an inspiring young celiac advocate from the UK, restaurant safety, a new tool to help with GF travel, and the ongoing fight against misinformation in the gluten free community. Plus, a listener writes in about comments so terribly negative they sparked an animated discussion between the guys!  

Mike and Cam are joined by teen celiac advocate, Aadya S., and Jackson Rau, of the Celiac Disease Foundation, to discuss the growing movement of celiac advocacy. Aadya shares her inspiring journey as a young advocate, detailing her recent experience attending the CDF Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., while Jackson provides an update on the Celiac Safety Act, celiac research funding, and ways people can get involved. It's an inspiring conversation about finding your voice, creating change, and the power of our celiac community.

Mike wraps up his unforgettable Alaskan Celiac Cruise adventure, covering breathtaking train rides, incredible gluten free meals, exploring Vancouver, and sharing practical travel tips. Mike and Cam celebrate the magic of safe travel, family memories, and why an Alaskan Celiac Cruise belongs on every gluten free bucket list!
