I thought it would be a good idea to write about Coeliac Disease. I’ve had a few questions from people who have been newly diagnosed and also concerned parents about paediatric inflammation/irritable bowel.
This article will give you an insight into Coeliac Disease.

Coeliac Disease is something which affects many people but which is not widely understood or discussed. It is a medical condition which affects the gut and digestive system of the sufferer and which people can be genetically pre-disposed to.
The disease often runs in families, due to the genetic predisposition of the condition. However, it can be brought on through environmental factors at any point in one’s life. Coeliac Disease is most prevalent in British people, with 1 in 100 diagnosed. Italy is the next country with a high prevalence rate of 1 in 250 people.
