About Coeliac UK:

Right now, the only treatment is a strict gluten free diet.
For nearly 60 years, Coeliac UK has been the trusted voice and driving force for everyone affected by coeliac disease, including those who don’t yet know they have it. We’re campaigning for change, breaking down barriers to diagnosis, improving healthcare, and ensuring safe, affordable gluten free food for all.
