Coeliac Awareness Week runs this year from the 9th – 15th May, and Aldi has a range of Specialbuys, and Award-winning gluten free foods in store, which means you don’t have to compromise on taste.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where the body reacts to gluten within your diet. When gluten is eaten, the body mistakenly attacks the digestive system, causing damage that impedes the body’s ability to absorb vital nutrients correctly.
