Are you 1 in 100?

Coeliac disease is one of the most under-diagnosed, yet most common chronic diseases. Left untreated, the possibility of severe consequences such as bowel cancer and osteoporosis increases.

Coeliac disease affects approximately 1 in 100 people in Australia but 4 out of 5 people don't know they have it. Coeliac disease is an auto-immune disease, which means that the body produces antibodies that attack its own tissues. For people with coeliac disease, this is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
