Coeliac Awareness Week

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting 1 in 100 people in the UK. Currently only 36% of them are medically diagnosed leaving an estimated 500,000 living with undiagnosed coeliac disease and the risk of developing long term health complications. Our mission for Coeliac Awareness Week 2023 is to highlight the lesser known symptoms of coeliac disease including: extreme fatigue, persistent mouth ulcers, unexplained neurological symptoms such as ataxia and peripheral neuropathy, unexplained anaemia, unexplained subfertility (both male and female) and recurrent miscarriage. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these unexplained symptoms, take our online self-assessment which will confirm if you should speak to your healthcare professional about being tested www.isitcoeliacdisease.org.uk
