Celiac disease is a disease of the intestinal tract caused by the presence of gluten in the diet. An allergic reaction to the gluten causes a breakdown in structure of the villi which line the internal surface of the small intestine. These small projections normally provide a large surface area for the absorption of nutrients from digested food. In a person with Celiac Disease, however, the inflammatory reaction to gluten in the diet reduces the surface area to such an extent that the absorption of vital nutrients is severely restricted, resulting in malnutrition and a wide range of symptoms. Celiac Disease (also known as Coeliac Disease, Celiac Sprue, Non-Tropical Sprue, Ideopathic Steatorrhoea or...

First of all it is important to know that wheat free products are different for gluten free products.

Those with just mild food allergens, or intolerance to wheat are lucky, there are many different products and recipes that don't have any wheat in them, and they can be comparable in price to normal products as well.

His name was Aretaeus and he lived in the first century AD. He said "If the stomach be irretentive of the food and...

"bottom-link"> Gluten Free labelling laws used to be very lax at 200 ppm. This made many celiac’s sick. Europe led the way in lowering permitted gluten in gluten free food to 20 ppm and the US is soon to follow, but Australian authorities think that this is still too high. This article looks at the intention behind the current laws and what the real threshold is believed to be (much less than 20 ppm!)

Gluten is an element in the family of proteins of glutenin and gliadin. These make up almost the whole substance of that protein and fall into the 2 major branches of gluten. Starch, wheat and grains are the major carriers. Protein types of gliadin are found in wheat, hordein is contained in barley, secalin in rye, avenin is found in oats, zein in corn and oryzenin is in rice.

By molding dough and dipping it in cold water, they discovered the properties of gluten! Thus the immersion in water washed away...

Celiac disease causes the body to be unable to process gluten. In people suffering from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity enteropathy, the body mistakenly attacks the villi lining the small intestine upon the ingestion of foods containing gluten. The villi are tiny hair-like projections that line the small intestine and are responsible for the ingestion of nutrients into the bloodstream. When the body mistakenly attacks the villi in response to gluten ingestion, the amount of nutrients absorbed into the body is drastically reduced. This results in an unhealthy condition. The only course of treatment available to individuals with celiac disease is to avoid ingesting foods containing gluten. Over a...

Gluten, found in wheat, rye and barley, is a type of protein which some individuals cannot tolerate in their system.

Against the common believe, it's seems that there's a connection between the obesity and the celiac, even if today the scientific researchers are trying to find some confirms.

There are quite a few reasons for this, including the large number and diverse nature of Celiac disease symptoms and the lack of awareness of the disease both in the medical community and among the general public.

This does not mean that damage is not being done, however, or that these people...

The diagnosis of celiac disease is confirmed by a characteristic abnormal appearance of the small intestine under the microscope. Flattening of the normal finger like projections called villi accompanied by signs of inflammation is taken to indicate damage or injury from the storage protein gluten in wheat and similar proteins in barley and rye. The small intestine biopsy has became the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of Celiac disease or gluten sensitive enteropathy.

Such a diet is completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals including wheat, spelt, barley, rye, and triticale, as well as gluten food additives whether used as a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent. This diet may also exclude oats whose effects on gluten-sensitive people still remain somewhat unknown. While gluten is commonly associated with wheat, not all wheat products contain gluten. For example, highly processed wheat glucose contains no detectable gluten (i.e. less than 5 parts per million gluten). Grain and starch sources that are acceptable in a gluten-free diet include...

Have you ever stopped to ponder how much gluten you might be consuming in your diet? Have you ever stopped and thought about the fact that this highly processed product, did not play much of a part in our diet until the last 100 years or so.

If you are a regular eater of bread or toast, cereals, pasta, pastries, pizza, pies, wraps, biscuits or crackers, your gluten intake is likely to be extremely high. In my clinic, I regularly request that my patients avoid processed foods and have mainly fresh produce. And unfortunately for those gluten lovers...

If you're going to brave the steamy jungle of catering - whether you're getting a takeout or eating in - you need to take a bit of care, and alert the suppliers to your dietary needs. Most of us like to go out for a meal or get a take out once in a while. But for coeliacs and others on a gluten free diet, buying food ready cooked can be a bit of a minefield. For starters, most take away food will be a problem. For example, even if you avoid the egg noodles (which are wheat based) in Chinese take aways, virtually everything will contain soy sauce - and the likelihood of this being gluten free is just about zero. You may find something on the rather limited English menu many Chinese take aways offer...

For people with Celiac disease, a digestive system disease, chocolates are not considered as feel-good treats. These treats contain a type of protein known as gluten which causes problems for people who are gluten-intolerant.

This is what people with Celiac disease are trying to avoid that's why they try to avoid eating chocolates. Entrepreneurs and chocolatiers have become aware of this problem so they came up with a solution that changed the way gluten intolerant...
