Coeliac Awareness Week is from the 13-20 March.
Coeliac Disease is an immune-based condition where the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats—triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine and causes inflammation in other areas of the body. This inflammation can lead to a range of symptoms, and if left untreated, serious long-term health problems can result.
That's why early detection is important with the first step to diagnosis beign through a blood pathology test (Coeliac Serology).
