Episode #72 How Your Dog Can Help You Detect Gluten and Stay Healthy
In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Kendra Williams to discuss her experience with celiac disease and the challenges she faced in adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle. She shares the difficulties of eating out and managing cross-contamination, which led her to train a gluten detection dog named Suki. Suki has become an essential part of Kendra's life, helping to identify traces of gluten in food, medicine, and other products, thus preventing accidental exposure that could severely impact her health.
In addition to describing the benefits of having a gluten-detection dog, Kendra delves into the rigorous training process required to prepare Suki for this task. She emphasizes the importance of partnering with qualified trainers and the ongoing training that both the dog and handler must commit to. Her story highlights the physical and emotional challenges of living with celiac disease and how Suki has restored a sense of security and confidence in her daily life.
Kendra was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2017 and found it challenging to maintain a strict gluten-free diet, as restaurant food often contained gluten despite being labeled gluten-free. After falling ill multiple times, she decided to train a gluten detection dog named Suki. They began training when Suki was 6 months old, and now, Suki checks all of Kendra’s food, medicine, and personal care products, preventing Kendra from becoming violently ill from gluten exposure. Suki, a Portuguese Water Dog born on March 27, 2020, signals by raising a paw when she detects gluten and noses a leg when there is none. Suki has become an essential part of Kendra’s gluten-free journey, having already saved her several times.
