After we lost to Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final by a point in 2010, I went to see my GP and he said I had an underactive thyroid.
I had a lack of energy which I put down to training so hard, but when the football stopped in September 2010, I still felt that tiredness.
I was not expecting anything to be wrong. I just thought I was a bit burnt out. Doctors knew before the All-Ireland final in 2011 that I was coeliac, but they did not tell me until three days after the final. I was not sure what I could eat or not eat. I was not aware of the amount of foods I could still eat. Even since then the improvement in coeliac food has been amazing.
