I’m Getting Fed Up Being Coeliac

I’m not getting fed up with the benefits.

  • The inability to get serious doses of the covids, as was shown by the University of Padua and I documented in Risk Of COVID-19 In Celiac Disease Patients.
  • The lower rate of cancer, compared to the general population as has been shown by Nottingham University.
  • Coeliac diease and the B12 injections I take, indirectly helped my recovery from the stroke I had. But that was just luck!

I haven’t had a dose of the covids, but I have had all my vaccinations.

But increasingly, restaurant chains like Carluccio’s and Le Pain Quoitidien are closing only to be replaced by chains that don’t even pay lip-service to coeliacs.

Some chains, even treat being gluten-free as a fad. That is an insult to people like me and the doctors and other medical staff, who diagnosed us.

I’m getting feed up as more and more vcoeliac-friendly cafes and restaurants close.

Coeliac disease indirectly killed my son and probably my paternal grandfather and is present in at least 1-in-100 of the UK population.

We should identify all of those, who have the genes, using the genetic test, which is only a simple blood test costing a few pounds.

Team GB And ParalympicsGB Athletes Find New Career Pathway At Centrica

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from Centrica.

This is the sub-heading.

Over the summer, billions of people from across the world tuned in to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games to get behind their nation’s most talented athletes, and Centrica has launched a new employment initiative to help sportspeople transition into a different career once they retire.

These first three paragraphs outline the scheme.

Elite sports professionals are highly skilled and have a lot to offer the world of work, although it can often be challenging for them to know where to start, especially when entering into a new sector.

To help adjust to life after sport, Centrica has created a new scheme – the Centrica Athletes Leadership Placement Programme – to find high performance athletes rewarding careers in the energy sector.

Made available to athletes thanks to Team GB and ParalympicsGB’s landmark five-year partnership with British Gas – a subsidiary of Centrica – the programme will give former sportspeople the chance to transfer their skills to new roles within the wider group.

The scheme appears to be similar to a successful scheme for armed forces personnel, outlined in this paragraph.

The scheme falls under the same umbrella as Centrica’s Armed Forces Pathway, which aims to hire at least 500 ex-forces leavers by 2026.

I wish Centrica and their new employees the best of luck.

But it looks to me, that it should succeed.
