This is super interesting. I've lived with coeliac disease for 20 years and I am well-managed (a recent endoscopy shows me my intestines look normal) and yet I am always low in iron, B12, folate and folic acid, etc etc. I've always wondered why I still have nutritional difficulties given that I apparently don't have any problem with absorption any more!
Thanks for reading! Gluten-free packaged goods in the US don’t have to be fortified with nutrients (like wheat-filled products are), so that has definitely been an issue for me!
Fantastic article, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story! I’ve worked with dietitians on and off for about 14 years, which includes long before my celiac diagnosis 8 years ago. My current/most recent dietitian is the only one I’ve seen who specializes in celiac, has helped hold me accountable with tracking my meals, sending pictures, weekly check-ins, and helped guide me through healing my gut which was giving me so many issues! I have the gluten free part nailed, I’m confident in my restaurant abilities, but I was lacking true nutrition to fuel my body, maintain a healthy weight, and heal some pretty gross stuff going on (parasites?! bacterial overgrowth?!). This is such a great reminder to still check in with someone who is a master at celiac nutrition because we’re not the experts! Just like we go for an annual for our overall wellness, I think periodically checking in with a dietitian is super important!
Thank you for reading, and I’m glad my piece resonated with you! I love that you’ve had a great experience with your current dietitian. It’s so helpful to have that support!
Love everything about this! Also the bento box looks sooo good
