  • Candid Conversations about Celiac with Kayla King
    Sep 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Kayla King (@celiacwithkayla) joins us on Don't Feed the Fear this week for an open and candid conversation about the realities of living with celiac disease. Kayla is a young celiac influencer who speaks candidly about her experiences growing up with celiac disease. Together, we explore the challenges and triumphs of dating, traveling, and developing self-confidence while managing a chronic condition. She also opens up about her journey with binge eating disorder and the connection between celiac and mental health.

    This conversation is full of honesty, courage, and resilience — and I’m deeply grateful for Kayla’s willingness to share her story so openly. Whether you’re a parent, a young adult with celiac, or someone who wants to better understand the emotional side of living gluten-free, this episode offers valuable insight and hope.

    Trigger warning: This conversation may be a difficult listen for those whose lives have been impacted by eating disorders.

    This episode of Don’t Feed the Fear opens our month-long focus on celiac disease with a powerful conversation featuring father and son advocates Jon and Jax Bari. Together, they share their personal experiences with celiac and the urgent need for systemic change—from increased research funding to clearer gluten labeling.

    We discuss how advocacy at the family level can create ripples of awareness in schools, communities, and even at the national policy level. Jon and Jax’s story highlights both the daily challenges of living with celiac and the hope that comes from pushing for a safer, more informed future.

    For anyone living with or caring for someone with celiac, this episode will leave you informed and inspired to get involved.

    Send us a text

    Heading back to school can feel stressful for families managing food allergies. Last year, new recommendations for food allergy management in schools were released, offering schools a roadmap for keeping students safe and included. In this episode, I’m joined by Christine Creter to break down what they mean, how they can be applied, and how parents can utilize them to support their child’s safety and success at school. We hope that as your school year is getting started, this episode will give you practical takeaways to help you breathe a little easier this school year.
