    At present, the only effective treatment is a life-long gluten-free diet.No medication exists that will prevent damage or prevent the body from attacking the gut when gluten is present. Strict adherence to the diet allows the intestines to heal, leading to resolution of all symptoms in most cases and, depending on how soon the diet is begun, can also eliminate the heightened risk of osteoporosis and intestinal cancer.

    sadly the answer would be no until you were medically clear of the condition for several years. (pillows aint that bad)

    I understand your plight as I have an aunt with coeliac's disease, and also a teacher at school with it (she got me to do a project on it for biology).

    However, the best advice I can give to you is to get in contact with your local recruiting office. Unfortunatly there isn't that much information on the armed forces website about what medical conditions are allowed in the forced and what are not (trust me I've searched for anything about flat feet for ages).

    That's the best advice I can give you. Good luck with it :)
