Coeliac disease: let’s find out together
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the body reacts badly to gluten, a protein found in everyday foods such as bread, pasta, pizza, biscuits and many other products made from wheat, barley and rye. Following a gluten-free diet does not only mean cutting out these foods, but learning to build a new lifestyle that is complete, balanced and sustainable over time.
Our nutrition and dietetics clinic
At the Nutrition and Dietetics clinic of CalatafimiMed, patients with coeliac disease can follow personalised programmes, supported with care and professionalism by Dr Fabio Nicolosi, a nutritionist specialised in managing this condition. Our approach is never generic but tailored to each person’s real needs, because every patient has different requirements linked to age, lifestyle, other medical conditions and, of course, their own tastes and food preferences.
Why a targeted programme matters
A targeted nutritional programme is useful not only to make sure gluten is completely eliminated, but also to prevent the nutritional imbalances that can arise when whole food groups are removed. The nutritionist’s support helps you keep a varied diet rich in all the essential nutrients and gives you practical advice on shopping, cooking, eating out and social occasions, without risking accidental contamination and without giving up the pleasure of food.
