🦴 Have you ever thought about your gut health when it comes to your bone health?

When you have coeliac disease, bone health deserves attention from the start. Damage to the small intestine can affect nutrient absorption, while inflammation can also influence how your bones are maintained.

But there’s more researchers are exploring…

Emerging research suggests dietary fibre may be linked to bone mineral density, and scientists are investigating how gut bacteria and the compounds they produce might influence our bones.

We’re not quite at the point where we can say that eating more fibre will build stronger bones. But it’s another interesting reason to look beyond gluten alone and consider the bigger picture of nutrition and gut health. 🌱

This is especially relevant when coeliac disease can already increase the risk of low bone density.

Have you ever considered your gut health as part of your bone-health picture? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 💛

And if you’re wondering what this means for your gluten-free diet, that’s where I can help.

As an experienced dietitian specialising in coeliac disease and gut health — who also lives with coeliac disease myself — I can help you develop a personalised nutrition plan to optimise your nutritional intake, support your gut health and look after your long-term wellbeing.

Because a gluten-free diet should do more than keep gluten out.

I have coeliac disease, so yes — I’m careful about gluten when I eat out.

But I’ve learnt that asking more and more questions doesn’t necessarily make eating out safer.

What matters is knowing which questions actually help you assess the risk.

I’m thinking about things like:

→ Does the person I’m speaking to understand that this is a coeliac requirement?

→ Can they explain how they’ll manage gluten and cross-contact?

→ Does the way the food is prepared make sense for a gluten-free meal?

And I’m also paying attention to the overall situation.

Because sometimes the answer is straightforward: yes, they can accommodate me.

Sometimes a meal can be adapted.

And sometimes, based on what I’ve been told, I decide it’s not the right option for me.

That’s risk assessment.

It’s not about getting a 100% guarantee that there is absolutely no gluten anywhere in the kitchen. It’s about understanding where the risks are and whether they’re being appropriately managed.

And I think that’s an important distinction.

The goal isn’t to ask more questions.
It’s to know what you’re looking for.

Because the more confident you become at assessing these situations, the less overwhelming eating out with coeliac disease can feel.

And that’s a skill I want people with coeliac disease to have — not just a list of restaurants they’re “allowed” to eat at.

If eating out still feels stressful or you’re never quite sure what to ask, that’s something I can help you build confidence with.

Having coeliac disease doesn’t mean you need to carry your own food everywhere you go.

With the right knowledge, you can often find a gluten-free option or work out how a meal can be safely adapted.

But I still like having a little back-up with me sometimes.

Not because I’m expecting the food to be unsafe.

And not because I want to avoid eating out or joining in.

It’s simply another tool in the toolkit.

If I’m heading somewhere unfamiliar, going to be out for hours, travelling, or just don’t know what the food situation will be like, having something suitable with me means I have one less thing to worry about.

And importantly, I don’t automatically reach for my back-up.

If there’s a suitable option available, great — I’ll eat that.

If there isn’t, I know I have something I can rely on.

That’s the difference between being prepared and feeling like you have to control every food situation.

You can be confident assessing risk AND have a back-up plan.

They aren’t contradictory.

Sometimes that little bit of preparation is exactly what gives you more flexibility to enjoy the day.

Save this for your next day out — school holidays, travel, work days or weekends when you don’t quite know what the food plan will be.

School holidays are a good reminder that eating with coeliac disease isn’t always predictable.

And I think that’s where having the right skills makes such a difference.

You don’t need to know exactly where every meal is coming from before you leave the house.

You need to know how to:
→ spot naturally gluten-free options
→ recognise where a meal could be safely adapted
→ ask the questions that actually matter
→ assess cross-contact risk
→ have a back-up plan when needed

That knowledge gives you options.

And options are what create food freedom.

Because yes, coeliac disease comes with some extra considerations. But being gluten free doesn’t have to mean being rigid, anxious or missing out every time plans change.

The aim isn’t to make food completely predictable.

It’s to become confident enough to navigate the unpredictable.

That’s a very different way of living with coeliac disease.

If eating out or navigating food away from home still feels stressful, I can help you build the skills and confidence to do it with much less guesswork.

If GF bread is a regular part of your diet, you don’t need to ditch it just because it falls into the NOVA 4 category of being an ‘ultra-processed food’ (UPF).

And to be clear, this isn’t me saying that ultra-processed foods are all “fine”.

There is good reason to be mindful of a diet that contains a lot of UPFs — particularly foods that are energy dense, low in fibre and other nutrients, and very easy to overconsume.

But NOVA 4 is a broad category.

So rather than treating every food in that category the same, I think it’s worth looking at the food, the meal and the overall diet.

For GF bread, that might mean looking at what you’re putting around it.

Adding protein, fibre-rich whole foods, fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds can help make a meal more nutritionally satisfying.

And if you prefer to choose a GF bread with fewer additives, this will inevitably be one with a shorter shelf life so freezing it until you’re ready to eat it, still makes it possible to enjoy these options.

There isn’t one “perfect” gluten-free bread — or one perfect gluten-free diet.

And if bread isn’t your thing, that’s completely fine too. You can meet your carbohydrate and fibre needs from plenty of other naturally gluten-free foods.

If you’re following a gluten-free diet but still struggling with bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, fatigue or simply feeling like you don’t know what to eat anymore, this is exactly the kind of thing I can help you work through.

See that white stuff on the orange? 👀

That’s the pith (or albedo) — and it’s particularly rich in pectin, a type of fermentable fibre that can be used by your gut microbes.

In simple terms, your gut microbes ferment this fibre and produce compounds that can help support a healthy gut environment.

So no, you don’t need to painstakingly remove every last bit of pith. 😂

If you have coeliac disease, you’re probably pretty used to thinking about what needs to come OUT of your diet — gluten, cross-contamination and foods you can no longer eat.

But when we’re talking about gut health, I also want you to think about what you can leave IN.

And the good news is, there are plenty of naturally gluten-free foods that provide different types of prebiotic and fermentable fibres — including onions, garlic, legumes, firm bananas, apples, citrus fruits, nuts, seeds and some gluten-free wholegrains.

That white pith is just one little example of how the whole food can contain valuable fibre and plant compounds.

Sometimes supporting your gut is about thinking about what you can ADD IN, not just what you need to take OUT. 🍊

If you have coeliac disease, should you be paying more attention to your gut health?

New research suggests we might need to. 👀

And no — I’m not telling you to go and buy a probiotic.

A 2026 study across nine countries found consistent differences in the gut microbiome of people with coeliac disease, including fewer bacteria that produce beneficial compounds such as butyrate. Interestingly, some of these differences remained even after following a gluten-free diet.

But this is emerging research. We don’t yet know whether these microbiome changes contribute to coeliac disease, result from it, or whether changing the microbiome would improve health outcomes.

So this isn’t a reason to rush out and buy a probiotic.

But it does raise an important question:

Could supporting gut health become another part of coeliac care?

We know a strict gluten-free diet remains essential. But a varied, nutritionally adequate gluten-free diet with plenty of plant diversity and fibre-rich foods is also a great place to start supporting your gut health.

And for people with coeliac disease who experience ongoing gut symptoms, the microbiome may eventually prove to be one piece of the puzzle.

This is an area I’m watching closely.

As a dietitian with a special interest in coeliac disease AND gut health, I can help you look at the bigger picture and work out what you can do to optimise your gut health alongside your coeliac management — based on the evidence we have now.

My Coeliac & Gut Health Intensive is a great place to start.
