Living with coeliac disease

A coeliac disease symptom tracker for the days gluten finds you anyway

A chronic illness tracker and gentle companion that already knows what coeliac disease can involve — so you do not have to explain it from scratch.

What coeliac disease can involve

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition, not an intolerance: gluten causes the immune system to damage the lining of the small bowel. A strict gluten-free diet is the whole of the treatment, which sounds simple until you are reading the back of a packet in a supermarket, or working out whether the chips were fried in the same oil.

What people rarely mention is the tail. A reaction can arrive hours later and last for days, so the meal and the consequence feel disconnected. Fatigue, brain fog, mouth ulcers and joint aches ride along with the gut symptoms. Written down in one place, the pattern between what you ate and how the next two days went stops being guesswork.

How a day can feel

If your days sound anything like this, taluvu was made with you in mind.

  • “I read every label twice and it still got me.”
  • “People think gluten-free is a preference. It is my whole week.”
  • “The reaction comes the next day, so I never know what did it.”
  • “Eating out is a risk assessment, not a treat.”
  • “I am tired in a way that sleep does not fix.”

These are the kinds of things taluvu invites you to say in your own words — never a checklist of what anyone “should” have.

Questions people ask

Coeliac disease and taluvu, in plain answers.

Short, honest answers about what taluvu does and does not do for coeliac disease. Nothing here is medical advice.

Is taluvu a coeliac disease tracker?

Yes. Coeliac disease is built into taluvu with a starting palette of bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue, nausea, brain fog, mouth ulcers and joint aches. You can add anything else and describe a day in your own words.

Can I record what I ate alongside symptoms?

Yes. Every check-in has room for a line in your own words, so you can note a meal out or a new brand of oats next to how the following days went. A record kept as it happened is far easier to read back than memory.

Does taluvu tell me whether something contained gluten?

No. taluvu does not identify ingredients or say what caused a reaction. It keeps what you noticed and when, and never claims one thing caused another. What the pattern means is for you and your dietitian or GP to work out.

Why keep a record if the diet is the only treatment?

Because a strict diet does not always settle everything, and appointments are short. A record shows how often reactions happen and how long they last, which is more useful to a clinician than recalling a difficult few months in ten minutes.
