   I don’t know why you couldn’t but the licensing agency is the one to ask. The flight surgeons and agencies like the FAA are the ones that know the rules so look them up and see if it is a condition that would exclude you.

   If you find a company that appeals to you, consult them as you’d have to complete their regular medicals anyway so good to be honest.

   Also, I would think worst case is your need to have ’special foods’ with you on your travels just to be sure you know what you’re consuming.

   Celiac or Coliac is malabsorbtion syndrome, an allergic disease in which the lining of intestine is sensitive to gluten,preventing the small intestine from digesting the fat. And villi in the intestine become smaller and so reduce surface which can absorb nutrients. You may have swollen stomach, diarrohea, abdominal pain and anemia
   Pl coonsult gastroentrologist before you become a pilot.
