Story

Hi,

In November 2018 I began suffering with extreme stomach pains. This went on for over a week before my wife encouraged me to attend the doctors to see if there was a problem. Having attended the doctors it was immediately diagnosed as coeliac. After further tests and several months down the line, I was now a confirmed Coeliac sufferer. 

18 months on and lots has changed for me in the way I manage my diet and how my family have changed their diet to support me. This now means I cannot eat anything that contains Wheat, oats, barley, rye. You’d be surprised how much stuff contains these things!! No takeaways for one 😬

This is a disease currently without a cure, so by me taking part in a small fundraiser and doing 2.6km around my garden each day, I can hopefully do my bit to support research. 

Thank you in advance for your help.
