Hi, I'm Rhiannon
Dietitian Experienced in Coeliac Disease & Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)
The 'GF' in GF Dietetics represents more than just Gluten Free. It means Gut Friendly, Good For you, nutrition.
I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian who also lives with coeliac disease and IBS, and I started my practice to offer the type of specialised and genuinely understanding support that I wished I'd had at my own diagnosis.
Other conditions and health goals I work with:
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
- Heart health and cholesterol
- Bariatric surgery (pre and post surgery)
- Nutrition for older adults and healthy ageing
- Creating a healthy relationship with food and eating
I provide telehealth consultations via video call, Australia-wide.
Why see a dietitian experienced in coeliac disease?
A coeliac diagnosis is just the beginning. Many people leave their gastro or GP appointment with a "go gluten free" and not much else.
However, navigating the gluten free diet safely and confidently (without it taking over your life) takes time, knowledge and the right support. As a dietitian who also lives with coeliac disease, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to help you get there.
What you'll walk away with
- Confidence you're doing this right; label reading, cross-contamination, trace gluten and oats explained clearly (and based on real evidence)
- Fewer symptoms, better energy, and a clear plan for post-diagnosis monitoring and nutrient needs when living with coeliac disease.
- The freedom to eat, travel and socialise without coeliac disease holding you back
Why see a real dietitian (rather than Dr. Google, Facebook groups or AI)
Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition, and misinformation about trace gluten, oats and cross-contamination is everywhere online. What works for one person in a Facebook group may not necessarily be right for you. Yes, AI tools and Google can summarise general information, but they can't assess your bloodwork, symptoms or diet history, nor can they pick up on red flags the way a dietitian can.
Working with an APD means advice that's evidence-based, current, and actually tailored to you, with someone accountable for it.
You deserve clinical care from someone who knows coeliac disease inside and out, and who also knows what it's like to live with it.
The advice you follow matters — not just for how you feel day to day, but for long-term health. Misinformation about trace gluten, oats, cross contamination and nutrient needs is widespread in online spaces, and what works for one person in a Facebook group may be genuinely harmful for another.
AI tools can be great to summarise general information, but they can't assess YOU — your symptoms, your bloodwork, your diet history, your lifestyle, or whether your gut has actually healed. Google will give you ten different answers to the same question. And Facebook groups, however well-meaning, are not a substitute for clinical expertise.
It means that the advice you receive is EVIDENCE based, CURRENT and tailored specifically to YOU. Someone is accountable for the recommendations you receive. You're supported to understand the WHY behind your management, not just given a list of rules. And also, red flags can be identified early — things an online community or chatbot simply aren't equipped to catch.
