How to access the program

Coeliac Care Program is an evidence-based online course, with how-to resources for people with coeliac disease. The easy-to-understand course information explains coeliac disease, plus the health consequences and risks. It has been developed in New Zealand. 

Resources are designed by consumers for consumers and the information is reviewed and approved by registered dietitians and Coeliac New Zealand. Information resources include examples of label reading, cross contamination, dining out, stocking a gluten-free pantry and commonly asked questions. There is additional support of menu planning and recipe ideas to help ensure users get enough nutrients in their diet.

Reviewer
: Anna Sloan, Outpatient Dietitian, Waitematā DHB, and Private Practice Dietitian at Nutrition Connection
Date of review: August 2020
Platform: Online course
Comments: This course is most useful for people with newly diagnosed coeliac disease or those struggling with finding food choices, or people who can’t access dietetic support or need simplified education. Users can get an understanding of coeliac disease. They are also able to come back to the education topics to consolidate their learning at any time. Additional resources help users plan a gluten-free pantry and way of life and maintain nutritional adequacy when removing gluten. An excellent resource, especially for those who may have to wait to see specialists such as dietitians, need ongoing support or who have to travel to access health care.  
Safety concerns: None.
New Zealand relevance: Suitable for a New Zealand audience, but there is no te reo Māori used in education topics.
