Are you an unknowing coeliac?

Are you an unknowing coeliac?

Did you know that there are half a million people suffering from Coeliac’s Disease in our country – without even knowing it? The University of Nottingham conducted research that discovered only 24% of coeliacs are even diagnosed – which could lead to a whole host of other medical problems. You may know Coeliac’s disease by another name – gluten intolerance. Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, exists in any food that contains them – so bread, pasta, cereals, cakes, and so on. Fortunately, it is becoming easier to find gluten-free foods in supermarkets, especially as more and more people are diagnosed and the demand grows. Symptoms of gluten intolerance and their severity can vary from person to person. They can include some nasty feelings including constipation, headaches, and even depression – all from eating a few slices of bread! gluten bread For a full list of symptoms, head over to Coeliac UK. If you think you might be gluten intolerant, it’s important to visit a doctor as soon as possible.
