Coeliac UK reposted this
I’m generally quite passive on LinkedIn so it’s rare you’ll see a post from me, however I had to share this as it’s a subject that’s extremely close to my heart. Our little girl has coeliac disease, we’re lucky it was diagnosed extremely early with her so she’s an absolute trooper when it comes to understanding that she simply can’t ingest any gluten. However, it’s extremely difficult for us to make sure she’s safe when it comes to normal life outside of the house when food is involved because the awareness just isn’t where it should be. Please take a read.
There are a wide range of symptoms associated with coeliac disease, so it's not always easy to diagnose. The average time to diagnosis for adults from onset of symptoms is an alarming 13 years. Our coeliac awareness campaign aims to change that by raising awareness of the wide range of symptoms and encouraging people to take our free online self-assessment if they spot something that sounds like them. You may have been previously diagnosed with IBS, or may put your symptoms down to some other issue like the day to day stresses of life. Finding out the cause of the symptoms not only provides answers, but we often hear that it's a huge relief as people now know there's something they can do to feel better. To find out more and take the self-assessment to see if you should be tested go to our campaign web page: https://lnkd.in/ejSdX5Ry #CoeliacAwarenessMonth #IBS #IrritableBowelSyndrome #Anaemia #CoeliacDisease
