Living Gluten-Free in the UK: Managing Coeliac Disease for a Healthier Lifestyle

Suspect Coeliac Disease? Here's How to Take Control of Your Health

Struggling with unpredictable stomach pain, tiredness, or unexplained weight changes can interfere with enjoying work, family, or your British cuppa. For some in the UK, these may be more than just everyday complaints—these may signal coeliac disease. Finding answers is the first step to a healthier, happier life.

What Is Coeliac Disease and Why Does It Matter?

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting roughly 1 in 100 UK residents. When a person with coeliac disease eats gluten, it damages their gut lining and blocks absorption of vital nutrients (try our at-home test if you suspect symptoms).

How Can You Thrive on a Gluten-Free Diet?

• Plan your meals: Supermarkets and restaurants are increasingly aware of gluten-free needs.
• Check for the gluten-free label: The Coeliac UK ‘crossed grain’ symbol is your friend.
• Swap staples sensibly: Opt for gluten-free oats, breads and pastas.
• Read labels carefully: Gluten can hide in sauces, stocks, and processed foods.
• Consider supplements: Discuss with your GP or dietitian for tailored advice.

Why Should You Test for Coeliac Disease?

Testing offers peace of mind and could prevent long-term complications like anaemia, osteoporosis and even fertility issues. The at-home test kit from Mayfield Clinic is fast, accurate, and easy to use, with UK-wide availability and support from our experienced clinicians.

"One home test could unlock better energy and wellbeing for years to come."
