Frankie and Rocco share their stories

We love collaborating with our amazing community to highlight the challenges and experiences they face living with coeliac disease and we’re always so incredibly delighted and grateful at how happy people are to help us. 

Earlier this year, four amazing members of our community travelled to London during the busy school holidays to be part of our awareness campaign which aims to speed up the path to diagnosis by highlighting the varied symptoms of coeliac disease and encourage people to take our self-assessment to see if they should be tested. Frankie, Nicola, Rocco and Hilary travelled all the way from Wolverhampton and Clitheroe to be filmed talking about their lives before and after the diagnosis of Frankie and Rocco. They all did an incredible job and Frankie and Rocco were absolute superstars in front of the camera!  

You can read their stories and watch their videos here.

A huge thank you to Frankie, Nicola, Rocco and Hilary for your incredible support. The videos will be used on social media throughout November to help raise awareness of the symptoms of coeliac disease and encourage people to take our online self-assessment which can be found here.
