Here you will find information about Celiac Disease (Coeliac Disease) and the celiac disease diet. You will find useful information about how to cope with a sudden change in your lifestyle after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease.

Celiac Disease is a condition caused by Gluten which is in the grains that you eat such as wheat. It is also present in rye, oats and barley. If you suffer from celiac disease, your small intestine cannot cope with the gluten in these grains and instead the gluten attacks  the hair-like villi that line the walls of the small intestine. Gluten then passes into the bloodstream and cause further damage to your immune system.

If you suspect that you suffer from celiac (coeliac) disease you should be tested as soon as possible, ask your doctor or pharmacist about a blood test or invest in a self-test kit.

The only treatment currently available for celiacs (coeliacs) is to follow a strict gluten-free diet in order that your immune system can recover and begin to repair the damage caused by gluten. You may also need to take other supplements such as iron tablets or Vitamin C in order to restore your health properly, again, take advice on this from your doctor or pharmacist.
