Today on Celiac Diaries, I’m joined by Natasha Badger, a NYC-based tech marketer living with Celiac Disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) — and balancing a gluten- and dairy-free lifestyle in the corporate world.

Natasha opens up about her diagnosis journey in college, what it was like getting glutened the day she moved to New York, and how she’s learned to navigate food allergies, work events, and travel while thriving in her career.

We talk about:

🍽️ What she eats day-to-day as a gluten- and dairy-free professional

💼 How to handle corporate events & client dinners with food restrictions

💬 Tips for talking to coworkers about celiac

✈️ Her gluten-free travel essentials

🧠 Why gluten-free brands need to market responsibly

It’s a grounded, honest conversation about self-advocacy and finding balance while living gluten and dairy free in NYC.
