So many of us have problems digesting wheat and gluten but what does it mean?

Do we have an allergy or an intolerance or do we have coeliac disease?

I've dedicated a large part of our website to this topic. I hope that it will provide some insight and support for people suffering with each of the different conditions.

Have a look around it - you will find useful information on the three different types of problems people have with gluten and wheat, tips for people currently undergoing diagnosis for coeliac disease as well as the story of my slow realisation that I have coeliac disease and my arduous path to diagnosis.

If you are coeliac, have a look at Emma Willison's charming and witty photographic depictions on being diagnosed. They really are fantastic. The photograph featured on this page is called Bride and explores how we try to make sense of the symptoms of coeliac disease before we know about and understand the condition. Very apt!
