Coeliac disease & intolerances
Sometimes ongoing tummy trouble is the body reacting to foods — gluten (coeliac disease) or lactose (dairy).
Signs to watch for
- Bloating, wind and cramping after certain foods
- Loose stools or diarrhoea
- Tiredness, low iron
- Symptoms that ease when a food group is removed
If symptoms are severe or persistent — or you notice bleeding or weight loss — see a doctor promptly.
Why a test helps
Quick screening tests can point to coeliac disease or lactose intolerance, so you and your doctor test the right thing instead of guessing.
