If you have coeliac disease, your immune system reacts to gluten and leads to damage to the lining of your gut. This causes symptoms of coeliac disease, including bloating, diarrhoea, nausea, tiredness and headaches. This only happens if gluten is eaten. By avoiding all gluten (some people also need to avoid oats), your gut can heal and your symptoms should improve. The gluten-free diet is the only treatment for coeliac disease. For some, it’s a choice. For others, a necessity. But regardless of the reasons, gluten-free has become a huge food trend in the last few years.
STOP – Before hitting the kitchen: even when using natural or specialty gluten-free products, make sure to double check with the manufacturer to ensure there’s no risk of cross-contamination with gluten in production.
