Hi, my name is Leah.

With my background in both nutrition and naturopathy, I’m on a mission to provide comprehensive support and guidance to individuals facing the challenges of coeliac disease.

Through my experience and expertise, including my background in manufacturing gluten and grain-free products, I understand the complexities of living gluten-free and am here to help you thrive.

What is Coeliac Disease?

Coeliac disease, also known as celiac disease in the United States, or spelled as “coeliac” in some other English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Specifically, the immune system attacks the tiny, finger-like projections called villi, which line the intestinal wall and are responsible for absorbing nutrients from food. This damage, known as villous atrophy, reduces the surface area of the intestine, impairing its ability to absorb essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fats.

Over time, this malabsorption can lead to nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, fatigue, and a range of related health issues, including anemia, osteoporosis, and neurological problems.

How I Can Help You:

As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of living with coeliac disease, I’m deeply committed to providing compassionate support and practical solutions to enhance your quality of life. Here’s how I can support you on your journey:

1. Expert Guidance on Gluten-Free Living:

I offer expert advice on transitioning to and maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or seeking to optimise your current approach, I provide valuable tips on label reading, safe food choices and a comprehensive list of foods that contain gluten and delicious gluten-free recipes.

2. Nutritional Support and Meal Planning:

With my background as a nutritionist, I understand the importance of balanced nutrition in managing coeliac disease. I can help you develop personalised meal plans tailored to your dietary needs and preferences, ensuring you get the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

3. Natural Remedies for Digestive Health:

Drawing from my expertise in naturopathy, I offer natural remedies and lifestyle interventions to support digestive health and alleviate symptoms associated with coeliac disease.

From herbal supplements to gut-healing protocols, I provide holistic solutions to promote optimal wellness.

4. Product Recommendations and Reviews:

Having run a manufacturing business producing gluten and grain-free pasta and cereal, I appreciate the challenges of finding good-tasting, gluten-free alternatives. I share my favourite products, conduct reviews, and offer recommendations to help you discover delicious gluten-free options.

5. Emotional Support and Community Connection:

Living with coeliac disease can be emotionally challenging, and I’m here to provide support and encouragement every step of the way.

You’ll find a supportive community of individuals sharing their experiences and insights through our community forums, blog posts, and social media channels.

6. Gluten free expo

Attending a food show with gluten-free options is an exciting opportunity for anyone managing coeliac disease. At a gluten-free food show, you can explore a wide variety of delicious and safe options, from innovative bread and pasta to indulgent treats, all crafted to meet dietary needs without compromising on taste.

It’s also a chance to connect with others on the same journey, share tips, and discover new brands that make living gluten-free easier and more enjoyable.
