Coeliac 1

What is coeliac disease?

Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This damages your gut (small intestine) so your body cannot properly take in nutrients.
Coeliac disease is caused by an adverse reaction to gluten, which is a dietary protein found in 3 types of cereals: wheat, barley and rye. So, gluten is found in any food that contains these cereals Including:
• Pasta
• Cakes
• Breakfast cereals
• Most types of bread
• Certain types of sauces
• Some ready meals
• Most beers as they contain barley
• Eating any of these foods can trigger a range of gut symptoms such as:
• Diarrhoea which may be particularly unpleasant
• Stomach aches
• Bloating and farting
• Indigestion
• Constipation

There can also be more general symptoms like:
• Tiredness because you are not getting enough nutrients from your food
• Unintentional weight loss
• An itchy rash
• Problems getting pregnant
• Nerve damage
• Disorders that affect co-ordination, balance and speech.

Children with coeliac disease may not grow at the expected rate and may have delayed puberty.

What to do if you fall

If you are not hurt and you’re in a safe place, try to get up. The best way to do this is by rolling onto your hands and knees, then holding on to something that is stable like a bed or armchair. Try not to get up too quickly.
Even if you are not injured it’s a good idea to speak to your GP so you can discuss ways to reduce your risk of falling in the future. Having a personal alarm may be a good idea.
If you are unable to get up or you’re injured, you could bang on the wall or floor to try to attract the attention of neighbours or passers-by. Many areas have a falls response service which you can call if you don’t have serious injuries.
While waiting for help to arrive, try to keep warm by covering yourself with something in reach like a coat, blanket or rug. If you can and it’s not too painful, try to keep moving which will keep you warm and maintain blood flow.

Tips on what shoes to wear and how to walk

Problems with your feet and footwear can stop you getting out and about. These tips can help you feel steadier:

• Wear shoes that fit well with high sides and low heels
• Don’t wear high heels
• Make sure your clothing doesn’t trail on the floor.
• The best way to walk to prevent falls:
• Keep your head up, look forward and not at the ground
• Your neck, shoulders and back are relaxed, not stiffly upright
• Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows.
• Keep your stomach muscles slightly tightened, and your back straight
• Walk smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe.

How do I stay motivated?

Sometimes it can seem like a lot of effort to start doing more, so a good way to get started is to try different activities and find something you enjoy and works for you.
Getting a dog is a good idea as not only will it provide company, it will also give you a reason to walk every day.
