Coeliacs

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder causing intolerance to gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye.
Consumption of gluten damages the small intestine lining, leading to nutrient malabsorption.
Individuals with coeliac disease must follow a strict gluten-free diet for health and proper nutrition.
Alternative carbohydrate sources include rice, potatoes, and gluten-free bread.
Understanding coeliac’s nutritional needs allows for appropriate meal options matching their dietary requirements.
