To: Dietitian, Gastroenterology Clinic

Dear Dietitian,

I am referring Ms. Anna Roberts, a 29-year-old patient with newly diagnosed Celiac disease, for dietary education and support.

Ms. Roberts has been experiencing bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue for several months, leading to investigations that confirmed Celiac disease. She is otherwise healthy and not on any medications.

Although motivated to adopt a gluten-free diet, she is struggling to understand food labels and is concerned about accidental gluten exposure, primarily through cross-contamination. She also finds it challenging to identify suitable meal options when eating outside and is anxious about managing her diet in social settings.

Given her limited knowledge, I would be grateful if you could provide comprehensive dietary counselling on gluten-free eating, practical label-reading strategies, food preparation methods, and guidance on navigating restaurant menus. This support will be crucial for her long-term adherence and overall well-being.

Sincerely,
