Guidance and Support for People Affected by Coeliac Disease
When you’re diagnosed with coeliac disease, the questions can seem overwhelming. What can I eat? What can’t I eat? Why do I have to avoid gluten? How do I tell people about my condition? What about cooking, shopping and eating out?
Coeliac Disease – The Essential Guide is here to help. With clear and comprehensive information, this guide explains what the disease is, how it's diagnosed, how it will affect your diet and social life, and, most importantly, how you can live happily and healthily with the condition. It gives practical advice about the prescription foods available and strategies for helping children and teenagers.
