Скачать или смотреть Coeliac Awareness Week 2023 | Warren Edwards, Gastroenterology Dietitian

Warren Edwards, Gastroenterology Dietitian discusses his role in working with people diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues when you eat gluten. Coeliac Disease affects approximately 1 in every 100 people in the UK with only 36% diagnosed.

Warren explains how symptoms of Coeliac Disease can differ from person to person, however it can be diagnosed by a blood sample or in some cases it may require a camera test and a biopsy. Once diagnosis is confirmed the Gastroenterology Team can help patients begin their treatment and support them through their journey.

Coeliac UK's Awareness Week campaign 'Coeliac Disease is different for everyone' aims to provide answers to those who are experiencing unexplained and often debilitating symptoms. For most people, once diagnosed with coeliac disease they can start on the road to recovery, and often see very swift improvements in their health.
