INFORMATION . FOOD . RESOURCES
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 blood-stream. This condition is called gluten sensitivity. 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. |
