Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This results in your body being unable to absorb nutrients and if left untreated, it can lead to many long term health problems such as osteoporosis, anemia, infertility and cancer. 

The only treatment is to follow a strict gluten free diet (including avoiding cross contamination) for the rest of your life. 

I often get asked a range of questions relating to what it is like to have Coeliac Disease. Although I perhaps would rather not talk about bowel habits at the dinner table, I am happy to talk openly and hope that hearing my experiences will raise awareness and offer comfort and support to others going through it too. 

As with all areas of our blog, if you have any questions, feel free to drop us a message and I will do my best to answer them 🥰
