Our charter
Coeliac disease is serious. Left untreated, it can lead to long-term health issues, yet too often it’s misunderstood, misdiagnosed or ignored.
At Coeliac UK, we fight relentlessly for those living with the condition –,even for the thousands who don’t yet know they have it. We push for faster diagnosis, better care and access to safe, affordable gluten free food.
We support our community at every stage, from seeking answers to living well gluten free. And we fund and drive research that brings us closer to a cure, while improving life today.
