Having both been diagnosed with coeliac disease in the past 12 months, Maddie and Alisa discuss how it's changed their lives. They share all they've learnt about the disease including:

  • Their story of diagnosis and advice on how to get tested
  • The shock of learning you are coeliac (only 36% of those with CD will be diagnosed). 
  • Coeliac disease affects 1/100 people
  • Changing staple foods and finding good alternatives
  • Understanding the long term effects of the disease
  • The current lack of post diagnosis support medically
  • Being forced to change to a healthier, more natural diet 


It's a really insightful listen for all of us and will definitely increase your understanding of coeliac disease. 

Thanks for listening!
