Coeliac UK

Members of Coeliac UK receive an annual Food and Drink Directory, which lists over 10,000 foods people with coeliac disease can eat.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including spelt), rye and barley. Some people are also sensitive to oats. Obvious sources of gluten include breads, pastas, flours, cereals, cakes and biscuits. It is often used as an ingredient in many favourite foods such as fish fingers, sausages, gravies, sauces and soy sauce.
Coeliac UK is working closely with the food industry to help the Free From market improve – look out for new product launches and ranges, which will increase the choice for people with coeliac disease.
Around 1200 newly diagnosed people are joining Coeliac UK every month. For further details on membership please call the Helpline on 0845 305 2060 further information can be found at www.coeliac.org.uk.
