Meet our Dietitians
A dietitian is a regulated health professional who is passionate about food and the science behind it.
When you are diagnosed with celiac disease, you will be referred to a dietitian for help removing gluten from your diet.
Our team of expert dietitians provide evidence-based advice through our support line and by keeping the charity up to date on the latest in dietetic information related to the gluten-free diet.
Recently, our dietitians created a program for newly diagnosed celiac disease patients, to help guide them through the wealth of information we have to offer. You can visit that program here.
