Celiac
Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133
Americans. Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight
loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal
symptoms. The disease mostly affects people of European (especially Northern European) descent,
but recent studies show that it also affects Hispanic, Black and Asian populations as well. Those
affected suffer damage to the villi (shortening and villous flattening) in the lamina propria and crypt
regions of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences)
that are found in wheat, rye, and barley. Oats have traditionally been considered to be toxic to
celiacs, but recent scientific studies have shown otherwise.
I myself have had Celiac Disease my entire life but was misdiagnosed.
The medical field is just now catching up with the disease.
Unfortunately the tests are sometimes accurate either.
