Lots of coverage (BBC, Express, Standard, Indy ...), but all seem to miss this pt. I'm guessing there's an exemption in France (?), which is why it was not highlighted by researchers. Perhaps worth reassuring milk allergy members, @AllergyUK1 @AnaphylaxisUK @NatashasLegacy? 3/3

But in the UK sheep/goat milk are already included under the 'milk' category which incorporates all mammalian milks. Here's @foodgov, see pt. 40. #milkallergy 2/3 https://t.co/McXmapqgJ4

Ursula published the recently vindicated Kathleen Stock, then suffered for it. My publisher was hers, and I’ve supported her case. Fellow writers, especially: please read/consider doing same. Publishing, like academia, is in a wretched state on free speech and freedom of belief.
I resigned from my job in book publishing and am taking my former employer to a tribunal - here's why. There is a link to my crowdfunder in the next post; I'm very grateful for all shares and donations.

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk

Big thanks to @BBCMorningLive for correcting the mistake before the end of the show. It often takes ages for corrections to happen & whilst its never ideal for incorrect info to be stated - correct info being provided within the same show is amazing. Spelt is NOT gluten free 🙌

No it is not #glutenfree @BBCMorningLive . Spelt is an ancient wheat grain .Another faux pas . Seriously. Thank you @beckyexcell and @FreeFromWriter
@Coeliac_UK
Just three months ago following the Ravneet Gill / Bake Off incident, I said that TV presenters overseeing food shows or segments need to be trained in basic allergy / coeliac / gluten training so as to be able to intervene when something like this happens. Spelt is wheat!

Just a reminder to anyone who watched @BBCMorningLive today that spelt flour is NOT gluten free. I thought it was important to mention this incase anybody is now confused. It would be great if @BBCMorningLive could correct this info asap. Thank you x @Coeliac_UK 🧡

Disappointing that this article, by a GP no less, presents self-diagnosis of coeliac disease in a "commendable" light. Suspected CD should be rigorously assessed by medics before GF diets are introduced. #coeliac #glutenfree cc @Coeliac_UK
🧠 Coeliac disease may also be a ‘hidden’ cause of three serious neurological syndromes, but is the right diet a remedy? Find out here 👇

FYI #coeliac folk: caution advised with this M&S product until we have the full story. #glutenfree
Bought some gluten-free cereal from @marksandspencer this morning and the cereal inside is completely different? Not going to eat it because who knows what it is? @Coeliac_UK Ironically, says ‘for you to fully enjoy without worry’ on the box…

First thoughts on this: glad allergen management is at least being seriously considered, but the prospect of milk protein in soya beans still makes me very nervous for people with food allergy. #milkallergy #foodallergy
