Having a coeliac child visiting family who just don’t understand contamination is no fun! #coeliac

Heads up Aussies with Coeliac Disease.
Ostelin Vit D & Calcium Chewable Tablets are not gluten free.
This is noted on the 120 packs but not on the 60 packs as a friend found out. She's been managing symptoms for months and couldn't figure out where the exposure was until she picked up a 120 pack.
It is listed as containing gluten if you buy online. But definitely not on the actual package.

In 2012 I was 43, and my #weight was just shy of 130kg. I felt like crap, and couldn't keep up with my kid playing kiddy football. I decided to do something about it, started #C25K and a #diet , and by June 2014, I was down to 92kg and was #running 5km three times a week and was well on my way to doing 10km.

Then life threw a curveball and I couldn't #run any more.

And in 2019 I was back to 125kg and was diagnosed with #diabetesT2.

And I started #C25K again, and was back to running 5km a couple of times a week, and was down to about 100kg.

And life threw another curveball, and I couldn't run again. I didn't know it then but my #coeliac gene had activated due to the trauma that stopped me running, and I felt bloody awful. And yup, I ballooned back to ~120kg again. Several utterly useless doctors later "Lose weight and exercise more" "I can barely get off the couch, I am exhausted just walking from the waiting room to your office" "Here's an exercise program" a good #doctor found severe #anaemia as well as #bloating and #JointInflammation and asked why? and I was diagnosed as a #coeliac in November 2023.

I stopped eating #gluten and I slowly lost the feeling of being the walking dead and I started feeling alive again. Very slowly the weight dropped. And I rediscovered the joy of #moving my #body.

Today, I am #55yo , 97kg, and just did this on the #exercise bike, which is 5 minutes longer than when I started a few weeks ago. I'm #purposefully #exercising again.

Will I #run again? Probably not - the #knees and #hips are not what they once were - but I've found that #dancing to #livemusic is great #aerobic #exercise and am happy to hop on the #StationaryBike to make sure I can cope with 2 hours of thrashing it out to #IronMaiden next month. A girl has to have #goals. It's no longer about my #weight or how I #look, it's because #life is short, and I want to #live it.

This may be a shout into a void.

But please share your good experiences with:
