3 Day Coeliac Course
Coeliac Disease is a digestive problem caused by gluten intolerance, which makes the body unable to digest quite a few everyday foods, particularly those containing wheat.
It can cause serious health problems - symptoms include weight loss, fatigue
and depression, which can affect a sufferer's day to day life and their
body's natural resilience. However, many people report enormous improvements
as a result of following a gluten-free diet.
Check out Coeliac UK which gives a wealth of information on the disease facts, how to live with it and becoming a member of the charity.
