The only treatment for coeliac disease is a strict, life-long, gluten-free diet 🌾⛔ Our fact sheet explains how a gluten-free diet will help to manage the symptoms, along with other useful tips: bda.uk.com/resource/coeliac-… #CoeliacAwarenessMonth @Coeliac_UK
Removing all traces of gluten can be a daunting task. Lots of foods are naturally gluten free and can still be enjoyed on a gluten-free diet, for example: All fresh, frozen and canned fruit and vegetables, Unprocessed meat, fish, beans, pulses, lentils, nuts, eggs, Potatoes, rice, cassava, corn, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, teff, gluten-free oats & Milk, cheese, plain or fruit yoghurt (without toppings), soya milk.

We're thrilled to announce that apetito I Wiltshire Farm Foods has been awarded the prestigious King’s Awards for Enterprise in Sustainable Development for 2024! At the heart of this recognition lies ‘Project Boomerang,’. This ground-breaking initiative is the world’s first closed-loop recycling system for plastic meal trays on an industrial scale. To date we’ve recycled over 25 million trays! This supports our industry leading commitment to achieve net zero by 2040. Our targets for decarbonisation have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative; and unlike many others, by publishing our short-term targets we demonstrate commitment to taking action now.

💧 Many don't understand that if you have reduced kidney function, the removal of excess fluid can become problematic for the body. This can be a difficult adjustment for someone who suddenly needs to start watching their fluid levels 🤔 More tips here: kidneycareuk.org/get-support…
