In this episode of Gluten Free Unwrapped, host Jenny Finke and Love Me Gluten Free resident registered dietitian Molly Winsten discuss the complexities of food intolerances, allergies, and the impact of dietary restrictions on mental health.
They explore Molly’s personal journey with celiac disease, the importance of understanding the difference between allergies and intolerances, and the potential pitfalls of self-diagnosis.
The conversation also delves into elimination diets, the risks of long-term restrictions, and the significance of food as both fuel and comfort – and even questions whether restrictions beyond gluten are necessary.
If you’re restricting multiple food groups in addition to gluten, you won’t want to miss this episode!
