“I was diagnosed with coeliac disease at 16. When the GP told me I didn’t even know what coeliac disease was. Today, I look back on my diagnosis with a sense of gratitude, because the gluten free diet has helped prevent any further long-term damage to my health."

“It was a huge shock to be diagnosed... Within weeks of going gluten free I noticed huge improvements and after around 6 months I was feeling better than ever!.. I have found a love for cooking and experimenting in the kitchen and I honestly don’t think I would have tried so many new foods if it wasn’t for my diagnosis”
