What is coeliac disease?

Gluten-free cooking is essential for some people and optional for others. The NIDDK (NIH) facts about celiac disease describes celiac disease as an immune disease in which gluten damages the lining of the small intestine, and it is treated by strictly avoiding gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley.

Symptoms vary and can be confused with other conditions, so avoid cutting out gluten before you are tested, because that can interfere with diagnosis. If you suspect celiac disease or a food allergy, see a doctor.

For people who need to avoid gluten, hidden sources such as sauces, stock cubes and cross-contact in shared kitchens matter. A plant-based diet that is also gluten-free should still include B12 and enough calcium and iron.
