All about me!!!

Hi my name is Sophie and I am 12 years old. I have recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease meaning I can't eat anything containing gluten. This is found in wheat,oats, rye and barley. I have also been diagnosed with having abdominal migrane which can give me bad stomach ache at night and it can sometimes keep me awake until after midnight. The hospital are trying to treat it but it is taking ages. It is really hard trying to find places to eat out with the coeliac but I think it will get easier in time when we find places that are suitable. It can be very awkward for me when we go in places and they say there is nothing they can do for me. I am also a member in a group for coeliac children which doesn't make me feel so different.
