👋 Massive fibre fan here! Apart from the fact that fibre in the form of fruit and veg is so tasty..your good gut bacteria blinkin love it too! Prebiotics in particular are their favourite (garlic, onion, leeks, apples, flaxseed, figs) so why not add one to your next shop 🥗🍲
🌾 Fibre February encourages people to get more fibre into their diet. In the UK, average consumption is much less than the recommended 30g of fibre a day - at around 18g.
Our fact sheet explains how to increase your fibre consumption ➡ https://t.co/Tg6R917OQr
No biopsy diagnosis of coeliac disease - Research Panel Opportunity
Coeliac UK is working with researchers at the University of Bristol to explore when coeliac disease can be diagnosed without the need for a biopsy. The research team is looking for people diagnosed with coeliac disease or parents or carers of children with coeliac disease to join a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) panel.
As a panel member, you’ll help shape this important research by attending four meetings over the course of the project. If you’re interested in taking part and making a difference, please visit our website to read more and express your interest

Lots of change in practice based on this survey and the shortage of Pabrinex. Dose reduction the most common. @StMarksHospital@LNWH_NHS have moved to IV thiamine and reduced to once daily for max 4 doses. What have you done in your place of work?

Urgent action needed: consultations are being held on whether to continue with gluten free prescribing, which can be a life line to many needing to access a gluten free diet to maintain their health, especially in the current cost of living crisis. The current Integrated Care Board (ICB) consultation is reviewing the provision of prescriptions in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland which may come to an end if we don't act fast.
Coeliac UK is strongly opposed to the proposal and is committed to advocating for continued access to essential gluten free substitute products. Within the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland area over 1300 individuals with coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis depend on prescriptions, and removal here will set a further precedent for removals in other areas. We need to stop this and need your help.
Please complete the consultation survey before the deadline of Sunday, 25 August 2024, at 11:59pm. Your feedback is crucial to ensure our community's needs are represented.
