You all have all been at the receiving end of advertising that tells you how easy it is to lose weight. Glowing women with tight waists and slender legs beam at us from the TV screen while enthusiastically chattering about the product that so miraculously altered their body. Chunky men, their muscles gleaming in the overhead camera lights, say much the same as their lady counterparts.
Many of you have believed the words coming from those beautiful bodies that you can just take the tablet or drink the shake or stick on the patch and voilà. Fat exit stage right! If this were true then selling weight reducing products would cease to be a billion dollar global industry and we’d all be swanning around in those little black numbers the movies are so fond of portraying their sexiest stars in.

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. Those living in other countries but of British or Italian descent can find themselves more likely to develop it due to the genetic link. The condition is very rare in those of African, Chinese or Japanese descent.
