Can anyone tell me what coeliacs suffer from?
I saw on a jar of Indian pickle - suitable for vegans and coeliacs. I want to know what a coeliac is.
Answers:
I have celiac (spelled different in US) It means you cannot tolerate gluten, found in foods such as wheat (flour) rye, spelt, oats, and other sources. It can be a crippling and distressing illness. Its very hard to avoid wheat and gluten foods, as wheat is in most everything, such as bread, cakes, pasta, cookies, crackers, gravy, baked goods, bisquits, etc. Celiacs must avoid gluten at all costs-it can be life threatening-wheat is even hiddin in most meats and poultry, so they have to be avoided as well
Im sure its wheat intolerance
