Living with coeliac disease can be challenging, especially when it comes to finding safe and delicious food options.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with coeliac disease consumes gluten, their immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine, leading to a range of symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, and fatigue.
Each year Coeliac New Zealand raises awareness around this condition with Coeliac Awareness Week in June. This year the theme is "My Coeliac Challenge - Take Charge, Get Diagnosed and Find Help" and it's all about shining a light on the challenges people living with coeliac disease face, and how these can be overcome.
"Whether you’re a parent struggling to prepare coeliac safe food for your child at home, looking for ways to reduce your food bill with the increased cost of gluten-free foods, or wanting to have the confidence to eat out safely, the coeliac community faces a wide range of challenges on a daily basis." Coeliac NZ.
For people with coeliac disease, avoiding gluten is the only way to manage their symptoms and prevent long-term complications. This can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to finding gluten-free versions of their favourite foods.
