## Resource

What does it really mean to grow up gluten-free? Not just medically, but socially, emotionally, and relationally? In this episode, we are joined by writer and longtime gluten-free advocate Elyn Joy, her daughter Edyth, and the host’s own daughter, Devyn, for an honest, multi-generational conversation about childhood, identity, and learning to advocate for yourself.
