You aren’t feeling well. Your symptoms are confusing. Could you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? How exactly do you find out?
We’ve brought together a dynamic panel that includes a gastroenterologist, a naturopath, and a functional nutritionist to answer your questions!
Know someone who should be tested for celiac disease but doesn’t know what to do next? Share this virtual event with them.
This event can also help you better support someone you know who is looking into getting tested.

• Dr. Kelly Baker, ND, L.Ac. — Naturopathic Doctor

This virtual event takes the mystery out of getting tested for gluten-related disorders, including signs and symptoms to look out for and what kinds of tests are needed to receive a diagnosis. Also learn why you should not go on a gluten-free diet before getting tested.
Sign up to attend — and even if you can’t attend, you’ll still receive a recording the following week!
Here’s just a few things you'll learn at this event:
1. What factors need to be in place to get a diagnosis
2. What blood tests you need and what will they tell you
3. What an endoscopy is and what it shows
4. What happens once you are diagnosed
This virtual event will be co-moderated by Lola O'Rourke, MS, RDN, GIG’s Education Coordinator (who has been gluten-free for over 20 years), and Aliza Sherman, GIG Communications Specialist (who has non-celiac gluten sensitivity).
WHAT: Getting a Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity Diagnosis
WHEN: Tuesday, October 19 at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET
This session is ideal for anyone who:
• has a family history of celiac disease but has not been diagnosed.
• is experiencing symptoms that could be signs of celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and is not sure of steps they can take to find out.
• went gluten-free without getting diagnosed and is now wondering: “Should I get tested for celiac disease?”
If you know someone who could use clear explanations about getting accurately diagnosed, please get this information to them!
