Greg Ballantine, a documentary filmmaker from Swansea, Wales, suffered from symptoms of undiagnosed coeliac for many years. In his documentary titled “Why are you so thin?” I had Coeliac Disease, Greg openly and honestly discusses the alarming symptoms he experienced as a teenager and was too ashamed to tell anyone … from tongue ulcers, lack of energy and even hair loss, in addition to severe weight loss.
While Greg also enjoys making films of the scenic Gower Peninsula and surrounding area, this documentary was near and dear to his heart. By sharing his personal coeliac journey, his hope is to help others “who are going through their own silent battles” and to spread awareness of CD.
Well done Greg!
