One of the most common misconceptions I encounter in my practice is the belief that a coeliac diagnosis, followed by a strict gluten-free diet, is the end of the story. In reality, for many of my clients, it is only…
In my practice, I work with many newly diagnosed coeliac clients who arrive convinced they have already mastered the gluten-free diet. They have cleared out their bread bin, switched to gluten-free pasta, and stopped eating at their favourite pizza restaurant….
