A place for parents and families of people with coeliac disease to access coeliac disease education, gluten free inspiration, and support
Coeliac Education
Hi! I’m Jo. Wife to a kiwi, mum to teenagers.
When that diagnosis first comes, it can feel overwhelming and life changing. Suddenly, life as you know it has changed. Spontaneity is replaced by meticulous planning. Take away dinners are swapped for home cooked meals. Familiar brands are substituted with the unknown.
But it doesn’t have to mean the end of joy. Good food, party invites, and family adventures can still be a big part of your life. It just takes a little extra planning, a little support, and a little inspiration!
Enter, the coeliac connection – your one stop shop for gluten free recipes, tips and tricks, as well as coeliac disease education and support.
Are you new to coeliac disease and need a little extra support?
If you’re finding it hard to transition to gluten free life, then you need to join my Facebook group – a place where you can ask me questions, check labels, seek advice about an upcoming event, or just vent after a tough day.
Let’s connect
