• Living with Celiac Disease

  Send us a text | In this episode of MedStar Health DocTalk, host Debra Schindler sits down with gastroenterologist Dr. Jose Parungao to talk about celiac disease, a chronic immune disorder affecting approximately 1 in 100 people in the U.S. As they explore the intricacies of this condition, Dr. Parungao explains how gluten—a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley—triggers an immune response that can lead to a host of health issues, including malabsorption of essential nutrients. Listeners will learn about the varied symptoms of celiac disease, from gastrointestinal distress to neuropsychiatric manifestations, and the challenges of diagnosis that often lead to misinterpretation of symptoms. Dr. Parungao discusses the importance of screening, the diagnostic process involving blood tests and biopsies, and the critical role of a gluten-free diet in managing the disease. With insights into potential genetic links and the importance of family testing, this episode provides a comprehensive overview for anyone curious about celiac disease or seeking to understand its long-term implications.  For an appointment with Dr Parungao, call 443-777-2475.For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.
