Coeliac Disease and Fitness!

We are all becoming aware of what gluten intolerance implies and what products we can eat that exclude gluten from the diet. All confirmed Coeliacs should become a member of Coeliac UK as you will get all the help you need in how to adjust your diet, what foods you can eat and how to help with funding the society to bring more help to you and new coeliacs.


I have been diagnosed since 1963 I was only just over a year old when the doctors confirmed to my mother what was wrong with me. I was one of the lucky ones, early diagnosis and being brought up on a farm meant that i had plenty of fresh veg, fresh milk and home grown meat. I had loads of energy but if i ever slipped and was "naughty" i usually became tired and had an upset stomach. Over the years it has become apparent to me that to stick to the diet is the most important part of my lifestyle otherwise I do not have enough energy to exercise and keep healthy. I have been extremely lucky and had a pretty healthy life and had two children with no difficulty. (sticking to the diet is important to help with conception). Since 19 96 I have been self employed as a Fitness instructor and now have expanded my business and opened up a premises in my local town Leominster Herefordshire.


I teach fitness classes in a local leisure centre, have a salon and present weight-management courses for locals and weekend visitors. anyone who has been diagnosed with ceoliac disease knows that after years of feeling low and ill all of a sudden they have energy and in some cases start to put on more weight than they need. If people want to lose weight for health reasons, to maintain weight, get fit please do not hesitate to contact me "Sue" at http://www.fitbodyworks.com/

You can rest assured that you can ask questions about exercise and healthy eating options and given answers by a ceoliac like yourselves. If you need technical questions asked about your condition my advice is to go to http://www.coeliac.org/
