"Coeliac Services"

I am retired and would describe myself as fairly healthy. I was diagnosed via blood test as a coeliac in 2022 and while in hindsight I probably had some symptoms, it came as a complete shock.  

I was put in contact with Joy, a Gastroenterology Dietitian. Given the huge changes to my diet that were required, I managed very well and stuck, I'd say 100% to the diet. My gut, however appeared slow to recover and continues to struggle to keep my foliate levels up. This is where having access to Joy is such a boon, I have spent hours on the phone to my Health Centre trying to get a ring back for a blood test or whatever, before giving up and contacting Joy's office.

Whether she is at work or not, my details are taken, she calls back, I get a face to face appointment, bloods taken, advice given and a personal message with results a couple of days later! Joy is an absolute Joy to have as a support. I almost feel guilty getting such a marvellous service when so many are not able to access the services they need.
