It affects adults and children alike (about 1 in 300 people in the UK) who need to follow a gluten-free diet following specialist dietary advice from a registered dietician.

If you're concerned about Coeliac disease, seek medical advice from your GP. If you are cutting out certain gluten containing foods such as wheat flour, you need to ensure they are replaced with suitable choices such as corn flour so need specialist dietary advice from a registered dietician to help maintain a healthy balanced, gluten-free diet.

What should you eat?

A strict gluten-free diet is usually all that's required to return the digestive system to normal — which means no wheat, rye, barley and oats, or any foodstuffs made from these ingredients. This includes flour, bread, rolls, buns, crispbreads, biscuits, cake, pastry, pasta and breadcrumbs made from wheat, barley, rye or oats. Coeliacs need to maintain a gluten-free diet for life.

If you're diagnosed with Coeliac disease, none of our products will suit you. This is because traditional bread making is dependent on the gluten in wheat flour.

However, some companies do make special gluten-free products, such as Glutafin, and these types of products are often available on prescription for diagnosed Coeliacs. You can visit Glutafin's Web site at www.glutafin.co.uk.
