Gluten is a protein in wheat, barley, rye and oats. It can cause serious health problems if undigested fragments get through the small intestinal defenses and enter our bloodstream. Click to learn about gluten sensitivity.
Moreover, in people who have inherited the common response to gluten, called celiac disease, these fragments provoke a specific immune response in the small intestinal lining itself. Resulting inflammation damages the delicate lining, preventing proper absorption of food. A great many problems can develop as the body malfunctions for lack of needed nutrients. Many associated disorders and complications may be avoided by early treatment with the gluten-free diet. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is a skin manifestation of celiac disease. |
