Coeliac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten - a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, triggers an immune response that can significantly damage the small intestines. I have come across many food industries, who offer gluten free options however, are unaware the importance to prepare this separately to avoid cross-contamination. Coeliac is not an allergy but is chronic disorder and should be taken as seriously as any allergy.
