Did you know that people living with coeliac disease should be offered an annual health review?
I didn’t!
Having been diagnosed at 49, I’m still learning how much there is to understand about living with an autoimmune condition.
We hear so much about avoiding gluten, but far less about what happens after diagnosis.
Coeliac disease can affect nutrient absorption, including iron, vitamin B12 and folate.
And whilst an annual review doesn’t automatically mean a full blood panel, it’s an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, nutritional health and whether further tests are needed.
It’s something I genuinely wish I’d known sooner.
So I’m sharing it in case someone else doesn’t know either.
