Living with coeliac disease presents a unique set of challenges that extend far beyond the limitations of a gluten-free diet. Simple tasks, such as the weekly shop, become daunting when you need to analyse product labels and ingredients. Deciphering these ingredient lists can be overwhelming and time-consuming, especially when many ingredients ‘may contain gluten’ or have the potential for cross-contamination during manufacturing.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. However, gluten can hide in unexpected places, including processed foods, condiments, and even medications or cosmetics. This can make shopping feel like a minefield for those with coeliac disease.
In the face of these challenges, trust in brands becomes essential. Gluten-free brands invest in dedicated facilities, rigorous testing, and follow strict manufacturing processes. Like these brands, we understand the unique needs of coeliac consumers and provide peace of mind through our commitment to being a gluten-free brand. One of our own co-founders Emer Bustard knows first-hand about the experience of being a coeliac consumer and wanted to create a brand that people could trust, making it easier to confidently pick up a product and just enjoy it! Hence the name Lazy Day.
The coeliac community plays an essential role in sharing experiences, both positive and negative, on gluten-free brands. Social media platforms and support groups allow individuals to connect and exchange this valuable information. With this information, shopping for safe gluten-free products becomes less daunting.
