Coeliac Disease Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency
Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune condition where the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Ingesting even small amounts can damage the small intestine and trigger symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, or fatigue. In emergency situations, these symptoms may be mistaken for infection or food poisoning. This fully printed Coeliac Disease ICE (In Case of Emergency) card helps medical staff quickly recognise your condition and avoid administering gluten-containing food, drink, or medication.
Perfect for travel, dining out, hospital visits, or everyday life — this card offers peace of mind that your gluten-free needs will be taken seriously when it matters most.

What is Coeliac Disease?
Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to nutrient malabsorption and a range of symptoms, including digestive upset, fatigue, skin rashes, and weight loss. The only effective treatment is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. An ICE card helps emergency responders and healthcare providers avoid gluten exposure and better understand your health needs in urgent situations.
