I’m proud to be supporting Coeliac Awareness Month 2024, this May. 🌾 Being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in 2013 was one of the best things that happened to me! 🥳 I was frequently sick as a child and from the age of 22 to 32, my health was severely impacted and I was often poorly with viruses and tonsillitis. I always had a mouth full of ulcers, I was anaemic, had stomach issues and was constantly fatigued! The brain fog was hard to deal with, especially whilst working a high-pressured corporate events job. For ten years prior to my diagnosis I was told I had IBS as the blood tests for #coeliacdisease always came back negative. It wasn’t until I asked to be referred to a Gastro specialist and had a #colonoscopy and #endoscopy that I got my diagnosis. I remember this day, I felt SO relieved to finally know what was wrong with me and could start healing and feeling well again. I’ll share more of my story and healing journey throughout the month. Did you know? Coeliac Disease affects 1 in 100 people so it is not rare, yet only 36% of people with the condition in the UK are medically diagnosed. My mission is to help Coeliac UK raise awareness and get more people on the road to recovery. If you are experiencing persistent symptoms like stomach pain, extreme fatigue, mouth ulcers or chronic anaemia or if your child is vomiting or has slow growth it is recommended to take the #coeliacuk online self-assessment and speak to your healthcare professional about being tested. If you have #CoeliacDisease and you’d like some support to speed up your recovery, drop me a DM to book in for a FREE consultation. All my love Hayley 🧡
