Last bit for #coeliacawarenessmonth
Coeliac disease is isolating. If you have friends with it, be encouraging, help them call places to go eat. Ask about cross contamination, if they cook their chips/fries in the same oil as gluten.
Be supportive and don't treat them like they're causing a fuss.
If you, or someone you know is experiencing unexplained symptoms, take our quick online self-assessment to find out if it could be coeliac disease: www.isitcoeliacdisease.org.uk

Coeliac disease is in your genes! No, really! There is a gene that activates when coeliac becomes active in a person. You can have the gene but never develop coeliac! (So it's not a good meter for diagnosis)
The gene can activate through trauma, viral infection etc.
It’s #CoeliacAwarenessMonth: Discover how B cell subsets differ in children with type 1 diabetes and/or celiac disease.
This study sheds light on immune shifts that could impact disease management.

#CoeliacAwarenessMonth DYK our kitchens at ARI, Cornhill, & Woodend are accredited by @coeliacuk.bsky.social to provide gluten-free meals? We are among only a handful of UK hospitals to achieve this & we are working hard to have all our kitchens accredited later this year.

NICE guidelines in the UK say that a proper diagnosis of coeliac has to be done with 2 blood tests and an endoscopy. A GP cannot diagnose coeliac for you, a gastroenterologist has to diagnose this for you.
When you have the bloods done, GPs are sometimes...

Myth Three – Coeliac Awareness Month
“It’s just a food allergy.”
Nope. It’s an autoimmune condition.
I don’t get a rash — I get gut damage and lifelong risks.
Respect the difference.
#CoeliacAwarenessMonth
More #coeliacawarenessmonth while I recover from a day in the sun:
Anything over 20ppm of gluten can cause a reaction in a coeliac! Some are even more sensitive than that. A crumb can bring me down and I will have symptoms for a week. If I eat full gluten pasta, my symptoms last a month.
So ...

Myth Two – Coeliac Awareness Month
“Gluten-free food is healthier.”
Not if you’re swapping wholegrains for ultra-processed rice cakes and air.
Gluten-free ≠ automatically nutritious.
#CoeliacAwarenessMonth
Myth One – Coeliac Awareness Month
“A little gluten won’t hurt.”
Actually, it will.
It’s not a cheat day — it’s a full-body inflammatory crisis.
Coeliac disease doesn’t do half measures.

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition and you know what that means? It means that we're more likely to get another autoimmune either before or after our diagnosis. Yearly blood tests and other checks are required to keep up with our systems to make sure ...

Coeliac has a genetic component! You are more likely to have it if someone in your immediate family has it!
It's also a gene that is switched on after trauma, stress, etc.
COVID helped in a lot of research for the possible viral on switch for some folks with coeliac.
Science says I'm allowed to winch my husband even if he's had a beer 😘

It's #coeliacawarenessmonth ! :D
Coeliac disease isn't an allergy or an intolerance! It is an autoimmune disease where the body mistakes gluten as an invader and starts to destroy the intestines of the person in retaliation.
It can cause everything from cancer to malabsorption to brain fog.
A claymation-style bearded chef wearing a yellow hazmat suit and blue goggles prepares a plate of gluten-free pasta in a chaotic kitchen. The background is filled with glowing loaves of bread, hazard signs, caution tape, and biohazard warnings, emphasising the dangers of cross-contamination for people with coeliac disease.
Cooking gluten-free in a shared kitchen be like:
Hazmat suit on. Danger signs up. One crumb and it’s game over.
It’s Coeliac Awareness Month — we’re not paranoid. We’re just experienced.

May is #CoeliacAwarenessMonth 📅
Last year @starchlab.bsky.social collaborated on a study which used MRI to better understand the impact a gluten free diet has on people with #coeliac disease, which could be the first step towards finding new ways of treating the condition⤵️
