Coeliac disease, affecting 1 in 100 children in the UK, is an autoimmune. Strict adherence to a lifelong gluten-free diet is essential but poses significant social and emotional challenges. Children and young people (CYP) with coeliac disease often face social stigma, frustration, isolation, and impaired wellbeing, emphasising the need for holistic family support.

This eBook is a self-help psychological intervention to support families with the psychosocial aspects of living with coeliac disease. The development of this eBook was led by the University of Surrey, with funding from Coeliac UK. Consultations with caregivers and CYP ensured comprehensive public and patient involvement throughout the development of this eBook. The anticipated outcome is a self-help guide that supports both the dietary management and psychological well-being of families dealing with coeliac disease.
