Supporting your loved ones with coeliac disease goes beyond understanding their dietary restrictions; it's about creating an inclusive environment.
Your thoughtful gestures, whether choosing gluten free options or simply being aware, make a significant impact.

Can we just clarify cross-contamination IS an issue. Not "might be". All coeliacs must avoid it whether they get symptoms or not. Long-term damage can be done if a strict gluten-free diet isn't adhered to. I'm not impressed by this response, nor for the lack of apology.
Here's @thismorning's acknowledgement of Coeliac disease following the aftermath of Vanessa Feltz's comments yesterday. What do you guys think? @Coeliac_UK

Today on ITV's @thismorning , coeliac disease was discussed during a phone in segment on the show. We are deeply concerned about the content and advice given to a caller attending a Christmas family event where all of the food will be gluten free to protect the health of a person with coeliac disease. We are actively following up with @ITV . You can read our open letter in the comments below, and will share any responses we receive.
In the meantime we ask you to contact This Morning to ask them to give an apology to our gluten free community on air for this damaging and inaccurate information, and to engage with Coeliac UK to ensure their information is accurate in future.

Trustworthiness impressions are fundamental social judgments. How do we achieve them when we encounter crowds of faces? Our new work with @C_AMSutherland, @barbala_o, @MauroManassi shows that we can extract summary statistics of trust from groups.

#BlueMonday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays.
Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Instead of asking yourself why you’re so lazy, ask yourself why you might need so much rest.
