I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease as a young child—58 years ago now!
As a child, I absolutely hated it. I always felt different from everyone else and dreaded parties—and to be honest, I still do!
When I reached my teenage years, I thought, “Sod it,” and started eating whatever I wanted.
But by the time I turned 30, I was feeling really unwell and underweight, so I decided it was time to commit to the gluten-free diet properly.
It took a few years, but I slowly got back to a healthy weight.
Now, I can honestly say I’m proud to say, “I have Coeliac Disease.”
Coeliac uk has a symptom checker assessment online.
Any questions please ask….after all I’m sure after 58 years I should know 😂
