Why gluten free?
The importance of catering to the gluten free community for business success.
Understanding gluten free needs
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting 1 in 100 people in the UK. When Someone with coeliac disease consumes gluten, their immune system attacks their own tissues causing damage to the lining of the gut.
Why gluten free matters
For those with coeliac disease, a gluten free diet is not a choice, it’s the only treatment. When someone has coeliac disease, even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger an immune response resulting in damage to their gut. In the first instance there are usually unpleasant symptoms such as sickness and diarrhoea. And longer term, the effects can be significant, and even life limiting. Continued exposure to gluten can result in osteoporosis, reduced fertility, recurrent miscarriage, small bowel cancer and intestinal lymphoma. Easy access to consistently safe gluten free food is essential for health and well-being.
