Anaemia and Coeliac Disease

• Poor intestinal absorption of essential minerals, caused by coeliac disease, such as iron can lead to anaemia

• Tiredness caused by anaemia is one of the most common symptoms

• Once diagnosed, coeliacs can lead a normal life by avoiding gluten in the diet

• Gluten is found in rye and barley as well as wheat products

• If you have coeliac disease there is a 1 in 10 chance that your children also have coeliac disease

• Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of infertility, osteoporosis and cancer

IMPORTANT: If you get a positive result with the Biocard Celiac Test it is essential that you continue with a normal diet until you have the diagnosis confirmed by an intestinal biopsy.
