Gluten Free Goodies

March 16, 2012 14 comments

It’s Coeliac awareness week and Coles is a proud sponsor of the Coeliac Awareness Fund. Coeliac disease is the most common hereditary autoimmune disease in the world today and affects 1 in 100 people. Many people don’t realise that they are affected with this condition however symptoms can include constipation, vomiting, chronic diarrhoea, weight loss as well as abdominal pain and bloating.

Coeliac disease is a permanent life-long intolerance to dietary gluten which is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. That means a strict and careful diet as anything that contains gluten must be avoided and most things contain gluten such as bread, sauces, cake, noodles, chocolate, and so much more.

Gluten Free products are becoming easier to find especially at Coles because we pride ourselves in having such a great range. We even have a Gluten Free Aisle at Coles online to make finding the right products easier. Just search “Gluten Free” in the search bar of Coles online or head to the health aisle Pantry>Health Food & Organics>Gluten Free Products.

There are so many products to choose from but here are just a few to wet your appetite. Read more…
