The Sleeved Celiac

Just a girl who turned her dietary restrictions into the keys to freedom.

Welcome to The Sleeved Celiac!

Welcome! My name is Nikki Thompson, and I’m The Sleeved Celiac. I’m so glad you’ve found my site, and I hope you come away with some fresh perspectives on living with dietary restrictions.

Have you had or are you considering bariatric surgery? Do you live with celiac disease or another condition that requires a gluten free lifestyle? Are you struggling to keep your family satisfied with a variety of delicious, budget friendly meals? Do you have a child or loved one with a dietary restriction? Does the thought of one more meal eaten in public make you feel like you want to hide? Are you aching to take control of your health and be more active?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you are in great company! I hope that by sharing my experiences as a wife, mom, daughter, career woman, athlete, bariatric patient, and celiac I can ease the overwhelm in the lives of others. You are not alone.

I am here to share how I have moved from being lost and confused about how to take charge of my health to feeling confident that I can safely fuel my mind, body, and spirit. You’ll find posts tailored to each step of the journey and recipes tried and tested by my own friends and family. I hope that you can find peace in this community.
