UK Charity Funds Three New Research Projects on Coeliac Disease
Sarah Sleet, Chief Executive of Coeliac UK said: “We currently estimate that there are around half a million people in the UK with undiagnosed coeliac disease and it is essential that research is undertaken to improve diagnosis results. With an average diagnosis period of 13 years, many people have to endure many years of symptoms which may also impact on NHS resources due to repeat visits to the GP and unnecessary courses of action due to misdiagnosis.”
“As a charity committed to research we hope that the findings of these three projects will enable swifter diagnosis and enable more people to benefit from an improved quality of life.”
The symptoms of coeliac disease range from being mild to severe and can vary between individuals. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, wind, tiredness, anaemia, headaches, mouth ulcers, weight loss – but not in all cases, skin problems, joint or bone pain as well as nerve problems (headaches, depression, loss of balance).
