Coeliac UK
Fighting for everyone who has coeliac disease - whether they know it or not
Coeliac disease is a debilitating illness. Living with it is hard; it impacts the rest of
your life. The only treatment is a gluten free diet.
Untreated, coeliac disease can lead to other significant health issues.
We also know that people who experience inequality are less likely to be diagnosed.
Even if you are, a gluten free diet is expensive - and knowing what’s safe can be
stressful.
At Coeliac UK, we fight relentlessly for people who live with the disease, even
those that don’t know they have it.
We challenge the effect of inequalities so that everyone has the opportunity to be
quickly diagnosed and treated, regardless of who you are or where you live.
When you know it’s coeliac disease we’re by your side to provide the support you
need. This includes making sure that good, gluten free food is accessible for
everyone who needs it.
A cure remains in our sights, too, and we’re working hard to make it possible. We’re
playing our part, initiating research that can lead to a cure, and until then, improve
lives.
