Coeliac Disease
Living with Coeliac disease can present unique challenges when it comes to maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. I understand the importance of proper nutrition in managing this condition and are here to support you every step of the way. My tailored approach focuses on reducing symptoms and improving your overall well-being through gluten-free dietary assessments, food and lifestyle education, and ongoing support.
Bringing up a daughter with Coeliac disease gives me a unique insight into the challenges faced by families living a gluten free lifestyle. I have worked with individuals, children, and Autistic (ASD) families to greatly improve their lives with gluten free diet strategies and lifestyle changes.

How I can help
Reducing Symptoms of Coeliac Disease:
I specialise in helping individuals with Coeliac disease alleviate their symptoms through targeted dietary interventions. We begin by conducting a comprehensive gluten-free assessment of your current diet to identify potential sources of gluten and provide practical alternatives. By eliminating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, we can alleviate gastrointestinal distress, improve nutrient absorption, and reduce inflammation.
Gluten-Free Assessment of Diet:
I will guide you in identifying gluten-containing foods and ingredients, as well as hidden sources of gluten that may be present in processed products. I work closely with you to develop a personalised meal plan that ensures your nutritional needs are met while avoiding gluten. We will provide valuable information on gluten-free substitutes, recipe modifications, and how to navigate grocery shopping and dining out with confidence.
Food and Lifestyle Education:
Education is a crucial aspect of managing Coeliac disease effectively. I can provide you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about food choices and preparation methods. I can teach you how to read labels effectively, recognise potential cross-contamination risks, and develop strategies for maintaining a balanced and varied diet that is rich in essential nutrients. By empowering you with the right information, I aim to enhance your overall quality of life.
Ongoing Support:
I understand that adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle can be challenging, and I’m here to support you throughout your journey. I provide ongoing guidance, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have. I am committed to help you make sustainable changes that support your long-term health and well-being.
