Dating has its own anxiety-riddled challenges, never mind trying to date with a digestive health condition. In this episode, Registered Dietitian Jessica Lebovits, reveals some startling statistics from a study she and colleagues conducted on the “Impact of Celiac Disease on Dating,” including some responders openly admitting to consuming foods with gluten just so they don’t have to have an awkward conversation about their celiac disease. Jessica has plenty of tips and advice to share for dating when you have a condition like celiac disease. You can also find some of her favorite gluten-free foods and recipes @gluten_rd on Instagram and check out her courses on GI OnDEMAND: Celiac Disease 101 and Celiac Disease and the Gluten Free Diet.
