Coeliac Disease is something that affects a large number of people all over the world.
It is estimated that there are around 50,000 people in Ireland currently living with coeliac disease. To put that into perspective, that is around 10,000 more than the number of people living in County Longford!
Simply put, coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease that causes some people to react adversely to gluten in food and drink. Gluten is found in everything from bread and pasta to beer and cake, making it something that many of us consume on a daily basis.
After becoming diagnosed with coeliac disease, a well-balanced diet free of any gluten intake is in order. Gluten-free options are becoming increasingly more exciting as awareness increases, so you shouldn’t have to worry about being short of choices!
If someone living with coeliac disease were to consume gluten, their intestine would become irritated or damaged as a result. If left undiagnosed, this can lead to further symptoms and complications.
One of the most important steps when it comes to living with coeliac disease is knowing what you can and cannot eat. Becoming aware of what foods are certified as gluten free is always advisable, as is checking the label to be absolutely certain.
On top of the large number of people living with coeliac disease, there are also about 400,000 people in Ireland who are gluten intolerant. Bearing this in mind, it becomes clear just how many people across the country are monitoring their gluten intake!
This would be a good opportunity to reinforce the fact that if you have any concerns regarding your ability to consume gluten, you should always consult your GP.
