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.

Learning Objectives:  At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:

1. Understand the relationship between type 1 diabetes and increased risk for celiac disease in children.
2. Explore the subtle signs of celiac disease that may appear in patients with type 1 diabetes, even in the absence of traditional digestive symptoms.
3. Gain insights into emerging screening methods that aim to improve the early diagnosis of celiac disease and reduce the need for invasive testing in children with autoimmune conditions.
