Coeliac disease is a medical condition and is an intestinal intolerance to dietary gluten (the protein portion of wheat, rye, barley, triticale and possibly oats). If left untreated, the lining of the small bowel (intestine) can be damaged.

Symptoms:

• Fatigue, weakness and lethargy.
• Flatulence and abdominal distention.
• Diarrhea – this may begin at any age and is often present for years prior to diagnosis.
• Constipation – some are likely to experience constipation rather than diarrhea.
• Cramping and bloating.
• Nausea and vomiting.

Who develops Coeliac disease? Coeliac disease can occur at anytime during your life

Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to foods, insect stings and medications. Anaphylaxis can be life threatening and all reactions should be treated as a medical emergency requiring urgent medical attention.

Anaphylaxis occurs after exposure to a particular allergen that the body overreacts to, releasing chemicals that cause allergy symptoms. These chemicals normally set more than one body system (skin, respiratory, gastro-intestinal and cardiovascular) into action.

Common food triggers that cause anaphylaxis include:

• Milk
• Eggs
• Peanuts
• Tree nuts
• Fish
• Wheat
• Soy

All Orgran products are free from the above common food allergens.

FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates naturally found in foods or food additives. For some people, when consumed, these FODMAPs aren’t properly digested in the small intestines, which can then result in a number of symptoms experienced by IBS sufferers.

Some of these symptoms include:

• Bloating
• Wind
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea and/or constipation.

FODMAPS can also affect sufferers of coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease.
