So I had low iron last year and my GP, being a good GP, said, we need to figure out why your iron is so low.

And another blood test showed that I had the antibodies to gluten.

And so while I'm waiting for a gastroscopy to confirm or, you know...

not confirm the diagnosis.

That's right, the damage in the intestine.

So in the meantime, me being a good little science journalist thought, well, why are people being diagnosed later in life?

I'm an old millennial, right?

I'm not a child.

I'm not a teenager.

I haven't had low iron before.

So this seems to be a new thing.

Jurassic Park's my favourite movie.

I'm definitely an old millennial.

Yes, and I wondered, how do clinicians identify who's most at risk?

I know there's a genetic component, but can you figure out who's going to get celiac disease later in life?

What triggers are there, that kind of thing?

And for people who do have celiac disease, what treatments are there on the horizon?

If I do get confirmed with celiac disease in September...

Is there anything out there that could help me drug-wise or therapy-wise that I don't have to give up my croissants?

So I went down to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne to talk to a couple of lab heads there that do research into the immune system and celiac disease, Professor Jason Tydin and Dr. Vanessa Bryans.
