- What is coeliac/celiac disease? -
Coeliac/celiac disease is not an allergy or an 'intolerance'. It is a life-long condition where the immune system reacts abnormally to the protein, gluten, causing damage to the small
intestine. Physical symptoms of ingesting gluten are not immediate and may take longer to present.
- What is gluten? -
Gluten is the generic name for the protein found in the following grains and their derivatives:
• Barley (including malt)
• Rye
• Oats
• Wheat (including einkorn, triticale, spelt)
- What is the treatment? -
There is no cure for coeliac/celiac disease. A strict and life-long gluten free diet is currently the only medical treatment for people living with coeliac/celiac disease. Even with mild symptoms changing to a gluten free diet is advised to avoid serious complications. An increase in the range of available gluten free foods in recent years has made it possible to eat both a healthy and varied gluten free diet.
- What is a gluten free diet? -
A gluten free diet is an eating plan that excludes foods containing gluten and is essential for managing signs and symptoms of coeliac/celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten.
- What happens if a person with coeliac/celiac disease eats gluten? -
The reaction to eating gluten varies depending on the amount of gluten consumed and the individual’s typical symptoms. People may experience some or all of the following physical symptoms:
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Diarrhoea and/or constipation
• Fatigue, weakness and lethargy
• Cramping and bloating
• Irritability and other abnormal behaviour
Symptoms may develop any time up to 48 hours after ingestion. The reaction may be fairly mild or quite severe. Some people will have no obvious reaction. It’s important to remember that damage to the intestine can still occur despite the absence of symptoms.
