Coeliac Awareness Event
Mon 5th September 2016
They are the local support group for Coeliac UK and support people who suffer from coeliac disease which is an autoimmune condition only treated with the correct food which must be gluten free (GF).
It cannot contain wheat, oats, barley or rye. People who suffer the disease and do not eat gluten free, suffer with many different problems, including head-aches, bowel problems, stomach problems, and related pain. The aim of the day is to inform the public of Coeliac Disease and its related issues.
We are working with Coeliac UK and setting up a programme for the day with representatives from Coeliac UK, dieticians, the medical profession and also related organisations i.e. osteoporosis and diabetics. Manufacturers of Gluten Free products will also be attending to exhibit and sell their products and give any information people require.
The event will take place at Bricknell Avenue Methodist Church, Hull, HU5 4TJ from 10.30am until 2.30pm on Saturday 24th September 2016.
Please come along and meet fellow coeliacs who live with the disease. Admission is FREE. Tea, coffee and GF cakes will be
available for a small cost. A chance to chat and sample products.
