I am a coeliac and according to statistics, the number of people with the allergy could be as high as 1 in 100.
Interestingly, when a coeliac is diagnosed and sticks to a gluten-free diet, their health and consequently drain on the NHS drops dramatically. There is also a lot of misdiagnosis of coeliacs, many of whom are put incorrectly on anti-depressants.
I would suggest that improvement of coeliac diagnosis in the NHS, would improve the standard of living for many and on the other hand cut costs to the NHS.
