❌ Myth: Coeliac disease is rare.
✅ Fact: Coeliac disease affects around 1 in 100 people in the UK, making it much more common than many people realise.
The challenge is that an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are still undiagnosed, meaning many continue to live with symptoms without knowing the cause.
If you've been experiencing ongoing symptoms, it's worth checking whether coeliac disease could be the reason.
Our quick self-assessment can help you understand whether you should speak to your GP about testing.
