I found out I was a coeliac back in 2022 (at 29 years old!), it felt like it flipped my life upside down and I was entering this scary and lonely phase. From this, I’ve found an incredible community and actively look to support others going through the same. My Instagram account has always been foodie related so I’ve changed to be focused on highlighting a GF lifestyle. I’m all about supporting those going through the same and helping to share any GF goodies I find to show people they aren’t alone and finding the confidence to know you aren’t being difficult when prioritising your health whilst navigating an autoimmune disease. I set up a slack group at work for those who are gluten-free and we share recipes, local eats and use the group as a sounding board. I also have my cheat sheet excel doc for any new coeliacs I meet as it’s been a saviour for me!
