My 3 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed,whilst talking about what we thought the kids may end up doing,I would like to think she would become a pilot(obviously).
As we know kids will do as they please,but would coeliacs be a career stopper in terms of the military? No moaning about pushy parents please!

Certainly during my time in the forces I did not hear of anybody with it,and the diet solves the problem,however in a warzone you do not have too much choice in terms of food intake.
Women do not fight on the frontline so you could argue that it doesn't matter but the forces can be really anal about such things,having had a medical discharge myself for a trivial injury.

Any body know the rules? Cheers Mark


P.S any other good tips foodwise would be much apprieciated.
