Coeliac Awareness Week aims to raise awareness about coeliac disease, and it is organized by https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/
After being confined to health-food stores for years, gluten-free foods have become the latest food boom. Supermarket aisles abound with products labelled “Gluten free,” and many restaurants now offer gluten-free options.
For people who can’t tolerate gluten known as celiac disease, this is happy times.
What is celiac disease?: “People with celiac disease can’t tolerate gluten, not even small amounts. In people with celiac disease, gluten in the bloodstream triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine. This can interfere with the absorption of nutrients from food, cause a host of symptoms, and lead to other problems like osteoporosis, infertility, nerve damage, and seizures”.
Not long ago, celiac disease was diagnosed by a process of elimination. Today it can be identified with a blood test .
