"Don’t be such a tough guy about it" — words to live by. So many of us get used to suffering and think it's normal. Thanks for this terrific interview, Christina!
Navigating being celiac at such a young age would be hard. We all just want to fit in and when it comes to food many don't understand why you wouldn't eat the standard diet everyone else eats. Being educated is the key and it looks like Daniel overcame and has become a great ambassador for other young people with the disease.

Thank you for reading! I always think I'm lucky in a way for not being diagnosed until my adult years for the reasons you mentioned.
This is so great - what a role model
Thank you for reading!
Such a great Q&A! So interesting to hear the perspective of someone who grew up with Celiac. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for reading! I agree - it's such a different experience from being diagnosed as an adult!
Great story. It’s more difficult for the kids. They just want to be “normal” and fit in.
