Raising Awareness of Coeliac Disease with Coeliac UK
An interview with Norma McGough, Director of Policy, Research and Campaigns at Coeliac UK, debunking some of the common myths surrounding coeliac disease and helping to raise awareness of the condition.
Cases of coeliac disease have been steadily rising for the past decade. What do you think is driving this increase?
The increase is due to greater awareness of coeliac disease, its symptoms, and the process for diagnosis of coeliac disease. Over the last couple of decades, there's been a significant increase in diagnosis and diagnosis rates of coeliac disease because of the availability of blood tests that GPs can use to screen for coeliac disease in a primary care setting. The blood tests detect specific IgA antibodies, which are produced by patients with coeliac disease in response to eating gluten.
