Imagine living with a disease that means you cannot eat most foods, keeps you out of school, blemishes your skin and forces you to move cities - but no one has a cure, and some doctors don't even believe you. This is the story of Princess Mahogo, a young South African woman who battled celiac disease for 19 years before she was diagnosed. She tells Don't Hold Back host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba how she survived, and why she doesn't want other young South Africans to suffer a similar fate. 00:00 Introduction: Living with Celiac Disease 01:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:32 Meet Princess Mahogo 02:33 Understanding Celiac Disease 03:35 Growing Up with Celiac Disease 06:58 The Struggle for Diagnosis 11:31 Journey to Johannesburg 13:55 Life After Diagnosis 17:07 Rapid Fire Questions 22:09 The Story Behind the Carrots 23:54 Conclusion #dontholdback #celiacdisease #nutrition ----- This show is a collaboration between DW and leading South African radio stations, Jacaranda FM and East Coast Radio.
