I’m Katrina Andrew, The Empowered Coeliac.
It wasn’t always that way though.
I’ll never forget the day that I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. It was life-changing and came as a complete shock to me. I had been feeling exhausted - like I was constantly stuck in second gear. Which to be fair, might be expected given I was running a successful business and being Mum to 3 active, young kids. It was more than that though, something else was definitely going on but I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it!
I had had comprehensive blood tests which I seriously thought were just going to come back showing I was iron deficient (which, no surprises there, I was).
But alarmingly, the results also showed I had Coeliac Disease, and my body was fighting against itself.
I didn’t actually know what that meant at first. All I felt was overwhelm and confusion as I tried to absorb all the information that was coming at me. Everything seemed like such a blur. While the diagnosis obviously meant giving up some of life’s little pleasures (“Little Creatures” beer I’m looking at you) it soon became clear I had to make more drastic changes – and not just for a day, but for the rest of my life. As it all sank in, I slowly felt myself slipping into a state of depression.
The year was 2015 and I thought that being gluten free was just a trendy fad.
I had no idea that for some people, eating gluten could have a devastatingly, life threatening impact on their body. How naive & ignorant of me!
After being diagnosed, and despite access to a truckload of information, resources, websites and apps, I really didn’t know where to start. I felt stuck and completely alone.
What I craved was to have someone I could trust next to me, helping me navigate it all and reassuring me. Someone to hold my hand and walk Buttonme through step by step, as I got used to my new normal.
Trust me, I have been there! Which is why I have created a couple of FREE downloads to help you navigate those struggles
Welcome! I am so excited to have you on this journey of health, wellness, and happiness! ♡
I look forward to you communicating with you via your inbox. Big love! - KA
