Coeliac disease – getting started

You’ve had a diagnosis of Coeliac disease and it’s a huge lifestyle change – where do you start? There’s a wealth of information online and it might seem quite overwhelming.

The first place to start is definitely Coeliac UK, which is the UK charity for people who have to live without gluten. Coeliac UK is a membership organisation that provides lots of support for individuals as well as advocacy and funding research.
