A little bit about Coeliac Disease (Celiac Disease)
• Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition caused by a reaction to ingesting gluten. If you have coeliac disease, eating gluten will cause damage to the small intestine, making it difficult for the body to absorb the nutrients it needs.
• It’s estimated that 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease, but only 30% who are living with this autoimmune condition have been diagnosed.
