Altındağ Municipality also supports celiac patients... Listening to the voices of celiac patients who have to eat gluten-free foods throughout their lives, Altındağ Municipality donated nearly 400 gluten-free food parcels to 250 families in need. The food support provided to citizens in need who reside in Altındağ, have celiac disease and document it with a report, made patients and their relatives happy. “WE STAND BY OUR CITIZENS IN EVERY AREA WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED…” Stating that they support the citizens of Altındağ in every field of need, Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki said, "Celiac disease is a disease that occurs as a result of the reaction of the body's immune system to the substance called gluten, found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye, and unfortunately, it is a common disease that affects one in every 70 people in the world... There is no cure for the disease, but recovery can be achieved with a diet. The only option in the treatment of celiac disease is to completely eliminate gluten-containing foods from life. This diet must be followed for life... This means serious costs for many patients and their relatives..." Mayor Tiryaki said, "As Altındağ Municipality, we provide gluten-free food support to support our citizens in need residing in our district. Our citizens from Altındağ who are in need and document their celiac disease can benefit from the assistance. We are just a phone call away from our citizens." he said.
