More about Coeliac Disease
Dietary Management
If you’ve been diagnosed or are living with coeliac disease, you’re not alone- and you’re not without options. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where consuming gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) triggers an immune response that damages the lining of your small intestine. This damage can interfere with nutrient absorption and lead to symptoms like bloating, diarrhoea, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. Fortunately, there is a clear management option for celiac disease with strict adherence to a gluten-free diet proven to restore gastrointestinal functioning and limit associated symptoms. With the right knowledge and support, you can thrive.
Managing coeliac disease means becoming a savvy food label reader and making informed choices. Although living with coeliac disease requires commitment, there are many more food choices and eating out options than there were even a few years ago. Our experienced dietitians can help you personalise your gluten-free diet to ensure it’s not only safe but also enjoyable and nutritionally balanced.
