Meet the case studies for Awareness Month 2025

Discover the people behind the amazing case studies for Awareness Month 2025, who have bravely come forward to share the story of their journey to being diagnosed with coeliac disease. 

Join in and share your diagnosis story too. Help us to spread awareness of coeliac disease and its symptoms. Together, we can find the estimated 500,000 living with undiagnosed coeliac disease and guide them on the road to recovery.
