Emma McKay received a 'traumatic' diagnosis
Emma McKay had her world flipped on its head after she suffered for years without knowing what was causing her issues. During her long battle since being a teenager, the now 26-year-old, received her diagnosis in high school, forcing her to make a dramatic change to her diet.
Recalling being diagnosed at a young age, the Scots woman said that "it was traumatic being diagnosed at 16, especially at such a pivotal time in life. I wasn’t well enough to enjoy things other teenagers were doing. "The only treatment available was a gluten free diet, which completely turned my world upside down. Silly things like seeing my family enjoy ‘normal’ food like biscuits and cakes was really frustrating as I began to navigate my new norm.
"I wanted to document my transition from eating ‘normally’ to eating gluten-free. During my summer break at University, I started writing up blog posts of all the things I’d learnt since starting my journey – covering topics like cross-contamination in shared living spaces, and easy gluten free swaps on a student budget."
