6 Instagram accounts to follow for delicious gluten-free recipes

It’s Coeliac Awareness Week, the annual event which aims to #ShineALightOnCoeliac, educating and informing people about the condition which affects at least one in every 100 people in the UK.

Caused by an adverse reaction to gluten, when people with coeliac disease eat the protein (found in wheat, barley and rye) their immune system attacks their own tissues, damaging the small intestine, so they are unable to absorb nutrients.

Symptoms – which can include stomach aches, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and wind – vary in severity from person to person, but it’s essential to adopt a gluten-free diet, to keep symptoms under control and prevent further complications.

It may be daunting after a coeliac diagnosis, to envision life without pizza, pasta, bread and cakes, but there’s no need to give up these cereal-based foods altogether.
