Coeliac Awareness Week 15-21 May

April 26, 2023

Our campaign 'coeliac disease is different for everyone' aims to provide answers to those who are experiencing unexplained and often debilitating symptoms. For the 500,000 people in the UK who are undiagnosed, all that stands between them and getting on the road to recovery is a simple test.

For this year’s Coeliac Awareness Week we want to highlight the lesser known symptoms of coeliac disease to help people join the dots on their range of symptoms and ask ‘is it coeliac disease?’

The first step will be to take our online self-assessment to see if they should speak to their GP about being tested. And if testing is recommended, they will be given a letter from Coeliac UK to share with their health care professional at their appointment.

Running from 15-21 May, our campaign focuses on the stories of people who have experienced these lesser known symptoms and to help drive awareness we’re asking our wonderful community to get involved.

There are lots of ways you can help from sharing our messages and telling your story on social media; to making presentations at your workplace or school; or organising a fundraising event in your community.

We have lots of information and tools, plus a Supporter Pack available to help you spread the word, find out more below
