Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the lining of the bowl and the small intestine. It means that a key protein, gluten, found in wheat, rye and barley cannot be absorbed by those diagnosed with the condition. The only cure at this stage for the condition is adherence to a strict gluten free diet. Likewise those with nut allergies face similar challenges, the immune system has an abnormal reaction to the in-gestation of nuts. Food intolerances involve the digestive system whilst food allergies involve the immune system. Vegans for ethical or environmental reasons do not eat any product derived from animals. This can include meat, dairy products and other foods such as honey, derived from bees. Previously a large variety of food was not available to people with food intolerances and allergies. Filomena Barca, the proprietor of Simply Gluten Free (SGF), set out to change that through a wholesale and retail business.
