Allow coeliacs to join the UK armed forces
I am 15 years old and looking to join the armed forces. I was recently diagnosed with coeliac disease a non deadly autoamune disease that causes the small intestine to become damaged. When correctly dealt with it doesn’t cause any issues other than the inability to eat gluten.
The armed forces have options for those who need halal or vegetarian options therefore discriminating against those who need gluten free. You can still have a very healthy diet and get all the calories and nutrients you need if you are a coeliac from the many options now available for the people in that bracket. I was more than disappointed when the doctor told me that I was coeliac because I knew then that my dreams of becoming an RAF pilot were over.
