Running on Empty? Iron & Coeliac Disease in Women
Iron deficiency is a common complication of untreated coeliac disease - particularly among women. This seminar explores the critical relationship between iron levels, gender-specific needs, and coeliac disease.
Join the team at Coeliac NZ, as we uncover why women with coeliac disease are at increased risk of iron deficiency, how this impacts overall health, and what can be done through diet, monitoring, and professional support. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with coeliac disease for years, this online session offers practical, evidence-based guidance to help boost energy, enhance well-being, and optimise nutritional outcomes.
Key topics include:
• Why iron matters: symptoms and long-term effects of deficiency
• The role of the gut in iron absorption
• Iron-rich foods in a gluten free world
• Supplementation and testing – when and how
• Special considerations for women across life stages (menstruation, pregnancy, menopause)
Promoting better health and wellbeing for women affected by coeliac disease.
