Becoming a Gluten-Free College Kid

Today’s podcast is a very special interview with a family who has been close to our celiac program for over a decade! Abe Kuhn was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2001 when he was just a tiny little boy with many health issues. Now, 17 years later, Abe is a thriving college student, basketball player and a peer mentor children with celiac disease. Today Abe is going to talk to us about the college search process and what the last two years have been like for him being on his own at school. We also have Abe’s mom and dad in the studio to talk about the experience of being parents of a child with celiac and sending him off to college. 

Thank you to the Walter and Jean Boek Global Autoimmune Institute for their ongoing support to make this podcast possible.
