Conditions
What is Coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition in which the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine. This damage impairs the absorption of nutrients and can lead to a wide range of symptoms including diarrhoea, bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, anaemia, and unintended weight loss. In some people, symptoms may be subtle or absent, making diagnosis more difficult.
The only treatment for coeliac disease is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. While this sounds straightforward, in practice it requires a thorough understanding of food labelling, hidden sources of gluten, cross-contamination risks, and how to maintain a nutritionally balanced diet without gluten-containing foods. Getting this right from the outset is essential to allow the gut to heal and to prevent long-term complications.
A specialist dietitian can provide detailed guidance on following a gluten-free diet safely and confidently, help you identify nutritional gaps that are common in coeliac disease such as fibre, iron, calcium, and B vitamins, and support you in adapting your diet to your lifestyle. Regular dietetic review is recommended as part of ongoing coeliac disease management.
