IF YOU CHOSE MOSTLY THREES . . .

-

you may be coeliac or a hidden coeliac — that’s the increasing number of people who have coeliac disease but don’t know it because they’re either more or less stymptom-free or have been misdiagnos­ed. This is believed to be a growing sector as doctors’ understand­ing of gut health and the many presentati­ons of coeliac disease grow. (you may get mouth ulcers or joint pain caused by the irritation gluten is unknowingl­y having on your immune system.) Don’t stop eating gluten, as above, but see your doctor and ask for a blood test.

See isitcoelia­cdisease.co.uk and take their online assessment before you go.

Part three of this series in Tuesday’s Good Health will have more informatio­n and insight into hidden coeliacs.
