It's May and that means...
...and if there’s ever a time to talk about gluten-free food, coeliac symptoms, and the real struggles (and wins!) of living with coeliac disease, this is it.
We’re championing Coeliac UK (aka the absolute legends leading the charge!) to help raise awareness, share real stories, and support anyone and everyone affected by coeliac disease.
Because gluten-free living shouldn’t mean boring food. And at Baked to Taste? We’re proving that every single day!
Every May, Coeliac UK turns up the volume on awareness for coeliac disease—a serious autoimmune condition where eating gluten damages your gut lining (not ideal, right? 😬).
👉 It affects 1 in 100 people in the UK
👉 But only 36% are medically diagnosed
👉 That’s an estimated 500,000 people walking around with symptoms they don’t understand
👉 Coeliac UK’s goal? Help them recognise the signs, get diagnosed, and live better 🙌
Symptoms vary (think bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, stomach cramps - and more). You can take Coeliac UK’s online self-assessment tool to find out if you or someone you love might be affected
We take coeliac disease extremely seriously. We create our recipes from our dedicated gluten and wheat-free bakery. We're not just chucking a “free-from” label on things and hoping for the best.
Everything we bake is:
✅ Certified gluten free
✅ Made in a dedicated wheat & gluten-free bakery
✅ 100% safe for people with coeliac disease
✅ So good, you’d never know it’s gluten free (and we mean that!!)
And this May, we’re going all in to support Coeliac Awareness Month. Here’s what to expect:
📲 Loads of tips, educational posts & coeliac-friendly ideas on our Instagram and Facebook
💌 Emails packed with inspo, info and deliciousness!
📝 Blogs like this one (and loads more to come)
🥧 Plenty of gluten-free bakes to keep you satisfied (and safe!)

We’ll be spending the whole of Coeliac Awareness Month shouting about:
✔️ The signs and symptoms of coeliac disease
✔️ How to go gluten free (without losing your mind OR your tastebuds)
✔️ Why supporting coeliacs is everyone’s business
✔️ And how we’re baking food that people with coeliac disease can truly trust.

Happy Coeliac Awareness Month. Let’s make it a good one 💪
