Predicting Celiac Disease in Type 1 Diabetes

In this episode of Raising Celiac, we explore Emily’s journey of being diagnosed with both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Despite the absence of early digestive symptoms, subtle signs led her family to seek further screening. We’ll discuss the importance of regular autoimmune disease screening in children with type 1 diabetes and how early detection of celiac disease can improve outcomes. Our guest, Dr. Danny Mallon from Cincinnati Children's Hospital, joins us to share insights on managing multiple autoimmune conditions and the potential for new screening methods that could reduce the time to diagnosis and the need for invasive procedures.
