Send us a text

Episode 101 of Ask Dr Jessica welcomes Dr Harry Cynamon to talk about when a gluten-free lifestyle is recommended--so many people are preferring gluten free menu items, but is it really helpful?  For example, eating "gluten-free" is the treatment for a condition called celiac disease.  In this conversation,  Dr Cynamon explains what celiac disease is, what the symptoms are, and how it is diagnosed & treated.  We also talk about in what situations eating gluten free appears to be more "trendy" and not as clear to have health benefits. 

Dr. Cynamon is a board certified pediatric gastroenterologist in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and he is currently treating patients in the city of Valencia.
