My Coeliac disease story; symptoms, getting diagnosed + adjusting | Sophie Faye 

It pisses me off to no end that women are always told “It’s stress” even though we know it’s not normal 😠😤

Hi Sophie, My partner was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease 10 years ago. He lost such a lot of weight and was feeling ill and bloated all the time. It's been a long journey. We have both had to learn a lot. It runs in families, he has a cousin and an auntie with it. They all have different symptoms which is why it can be difficult to diagnose.We have been a gluten free household ever since his diagnosis as it makes cooking safer and easier. It can be tough but since the UK government changed the laws on allergens it's a lot easier to shop and eat out. I know you like to bake and it is possible to bake delicious gluten free foods. I use Doves Farm GF flours as they are amazing, you just have to add a little more liquid to regular recipes as GF flours are a lot drier. I wish you luck on your journey, I'm certain you will adapt and learn different ways to make all the foods you love. Sending hugs, Jo xx

Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤

Thankyou so much for this Sophie 🫶

Such courage you’ve had to find. It’s wonderful to hear you feel a lot better but what a process you had to go through. Great video really informative x

I've had load of issues when I was younger and was told just go without, eliminate what makes you poorly (just to avoid me spending NHS money) and eventually I was diagnosed with wheat intolerance. And for me keto is just the best x the minute I have something with gluten I'd be suffering x Glad you better now xx

Ive been having horrific symptoms over 15 years, I've been to the Dr over the years and they have put it down to anxiety, my weight, stress, ibs.....i commented on your tictok a few weeks ago thinking I had coeliac. I went gluten free a month ago and started feeling so much better but then noticed blood in my stool...I had a colonoscopy due to bleeding and have now been diagnosed with colitis(another autoimmune disease) waiting for biopsies to see how much of my colon is affected. I since found out gluten makes colitis worse but still bleeding very heavily at the moment but I finally have some answers that I've been fighting for for 15 years. Looking forward to gluten free tips and ideas. Sending you lots of healing energy x

Hi Sophie I got diagnosed ibs years ago but always still struggled ,since January I've been really poorly but got other health issues anyway so put it down to that after watching your journey a fortnight ago I'd had enough and thought I'm just going try gluten free and omg with in a week my pain in my stomach and eased and the horrendous headaches which I was getting daily have stopped I'm giving it a months trail then its a trip to the gp I do have a hospital appointment tomorrow so I'm going mention it then ,so thank you chicken you sharing your story as definitely helped me ive if I'm not diagnosed celiac I don't think I will go back to my old diet I don't want that pain again its was making me pass out when trying to use the loo I know tmi but us girls have got to have each other back ❤

How long after you quit gluten, did you start to see improvements, or start to feel better.
