I’ve been living with a coeliac for just over a month and half now. It’s been extremely interesting to say the least. Often I’ve found myself worrying on whether the littlest crumb could make my housemate sick or annoyed that I couldn’t share any of my food with her. I’m used to getting Kelkin products for my grandmother, who was diagnosed about three or four years ago. I was fascinated that you can develop this illness at any age, at any time and the level of intolerance varies.
I decided to interview my housemate Áine Curtin on living with the illness and I gained an invaluable insight into something I previously knew next to nothing about.
