• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

(Podcast) Pioneering Researcher Alessio Fasano on Gluten, Autoimmunity & Leaky Gut

It's an honor to welcome Dr. Alessio Fasano as a guest on the show. Dr. Fasano is globally recognized for his pioneering research in the fields of Celiac disease and gluten intolerance. In 2003, he published the groundbreaking study in the Annals of Medicine that established the prevalence rate of celiac disease at one in 133 people in the U.S - a rate nearly 100 times greater than the previous estimate. He also headed up a team that discovered (in 2000) the ancient molecule zonulin, which regulates the permeability of the intestine and is know known to be a major player in the condition known colloquially as "leaky gut".

Dr. Fasano has been featured in hundreds of interviews in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal; NPR; New York Times Magazine; National Geographic, Bloomberg News; USA Today; Los Angeles Times; “Good Morning America”; The Globe and Mail; Vogue; and numerous health-related websites and magazines.

On a personal note, Dr. Fasano is one of my research heroes and his work has had a huge impact on my understanding of the gut and autoimmune disease. We’re extremely fortunate to have him as a guest on the show. I hope you’re as excited about this as I am!
