It's been a long time since Mike's nephew, Sam, has been a guest on the podcast. He joins the show to talk about his recent trip to Israel with a group from college.

We talk about some of the challenges he faced on the trip  as well as his top tips for eating gluten free in I...

We talk to Jani Tuomi, co-founder of Imaware, the first ever home celiac blood tests. One test is given if you suspect that you have celiac and another (that Mike and Cam took) is for follow up testing to ensure that you are not getting cross contamination. Imaware assembled an impressive team including Dr. Guandalini and Dr. Schuppan to make sure that they were focusing on the most important deta...

A weekend getaway for Mike and his family turns from fun, to a sort of, "house of horrors," after the wrong tortillas are purchased and consumed. Find out the aftermath of this mistake on our special extra spooky Halloween edition of the podcast!

It's scary and dangerous when people try and sell gluten containing products as gluten free.

Shout outs to our friends Erin Smith @gfreefun and Jessica Hanson @tastymeditation.

This week we look at what's been happening in the world of gluten free labeling. It still feels like two steps forward and two steps back, but hopefully things are starting to change for the better. Also, Mike came across a person with a huge YouTube following who could use a little help understanding what organic and gluten free mean, and that there is actually a difference between the two.

Join Mike and Cam as they talk to Beyond Celiac's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Marie Robert and get a sneak peak at Beyond Celiac's upcoming 2nd Annual Research Symposium.

Mike and Cam weigh in on the latest information coming out about the Nima Sensor. They also discuss the reality that many gluten free replacements for foods can be quite unhealthy, while there is a lot of confusing information that is actually trying to sell gluten free foods as a "healthier alternative."

Mike and Cam discuss Susan Cohen's important new article in Gluten Free Living Magazine called "Extra-intestinal Symptoms of Celiac Disease in Children," highlighting research that a larger percentage of children are exhibiting non-intestinal celiac symptoms than previously thought. Are "atypical" symptoms more the norm, but because many people do not exhibit classic symptoms, doctors are just not...
