Its high-protein low-sugar gluten-free profile makes it an ideal diet food for nearly anyone but particularly for diabetics and those with celiac disease or similar gluten sensitivities.

#Celiac disease: Symptoms & Treatment Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that affects at least 1 in 133 Americans (roughly 1 percent of the population.
People with celiac disease also called celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy cannot eat gluten. Gluten is a protein found in foods processed from wheat and other grains.
Exposure to gluten damages the lining of the small intestine interfering with the absorption of nutrients from food and often causing abdominal pain.
and many food companies and restaurants now offer menus that cater to those with celiac disease. Studies show that men
and women of any age and race can be affected by celiac disease but is more prevalent in those of Northern European descent.
Because the disease is based genetically it is more common in those who have a first-degree relative (parent child or sibling) or second-degree relative (grandparent uncle aunt cousin niece nephew or half-sibling) with celiac disease.
There are two main genes related to celiac disease. Ninety-five percent of people with celiac disease will have the HLA-DQ2 gene
and the other 5 percent have the HLA-DQ8 gene. Genetic testing is used often to calculate the risk for celiac disease.
However having the gene means that you are simply at risk for developing disease and is not a conclusive diagnosis. Positive genetic tests should be followed up with celiac blood panels
If the genetic tests return with negative results the patient can essentially rule out celiac disease. When a person with celiac disease consumes gluten the immune system overreacts and targets the body s small intestine.
The villi hairlike structures in the small intestine suffer shortening and flattening. This occurs in the lamina propria and crypt regions of the intestine when the patient eats specific food-grain antigens or toxic amino acid sequences.
There are nearly 300 symptoms related to celiac disease but the classic symptoms are diarrhea weight loss and malnutrition.
There are also latent symptoms like isolated nutrient deficiencies depression or irritability but many of those with celiac disease have no gastrointestinal symptoms.
Because there is such a wide variation of symptoms diagnosis can be difficult. On average diagnosis for each patient takes six to 10 years.
Some of the most common symptoms of celiac disease include: Some people with celiac disease exhibit no symptoms at all
and are completely in the dark about their diagnosis. Many take this to mean that
Celiac disease if left untreated can cause a myriad of serious life threatening problems because of its nature as an autoimmune disorder.
Patients with celiac disease who do not follow a gluten-free diet often suffer from malnutrition.
For women untreated celiac disease can lead to infertility and miscarriage as well as other reproductive issues because of the malabsorption of calcium and Vitamin d.
Celiac disease can cause bone weakness and nerve damage causing constant pain. Most unnerving people with untreated celiac disease have a significantly greater risk of developing several forms of cancer including lymphoma and small bowel cancer.
Because the symptoms of celiac disease can mimic other diseases like irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn s disease the best way to diagnose celiac disease is to start with a blood test.
Currently doctors test for total Iga Iga-ttg Iga-EMA and possibly Igg/Iga-DGP or Igg-AGA.
It s important that the patient continue to consume gluten before the blood tests to properly measure the immune system s response to that diet.
There is only one way to treat celiac disease: a lifelong gluten-free diet. This diet must be strict as even the smallest amount of gluten can trigger damage to the small intestines and reverse the healing process.
It s also important for those with celiac disease to avoid cross-contamination in their own kitchens or at restaurants.
As awareness of celiac disease has grown so have options for those with celiac disease. Many gluten-free alternatives are available like gluten-free bread gluten-free pasta and gluten-free baked goods.
The gluten-free food industry is booming and is expected to exceed more than $5 billion by 2015.
Relief for many celiac disease sufferers can happen almost immediately after starting the strictly gluten-free diet.
Celiac disease should not be confused with a gluten sensitivity intolerance or allergy. Though gluten sensitivity often has the same symptoms as celiac disease it does not cause the same damage
and risks that celiac disease does. Food allergies occur when a body s immune system overreacts to a food and produces Ige antibodies as a reaction producing histamines
and causing skin breathing and heart problems. This process is very different from what happens when a celiac sufferer consumes gluten.
and hives whereas celiac disease is characterized by the reaction in the small intestine and other listed symptoms.
Living with celiac disease can be daunting and cause anxiety. There are a number of support groups including the Celiac Sprue Association and Healthy Villi.
These support groups help people with Celiac disease express their frustrations about the diagnosis share recipes and try new food items together e
#Diarrhea: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments As unpleasant as diarrhea is this universal ailment rarely causes serious problems.
Most people have diarrhea once or twice a year according to the Cleveland Clinic. Causes Sometimes referred to as intestinal flu diarrhea is caused usually by a virus in the bowel
and generally lasts two or three days. But the condition characterized by watery stool abdominal cramps
and an urgency for bowel movements has many possible causes which include: Complications The primary complication of diarrhea is caused dehydration by the loss of large amounts of water salt and nutrients.
According to the Mayo Clinic dehydration can lead to other serious conditions such as low blood pressure seizures kidney failure or even death.
Those with ongoing diarrhea should seek medical attention if they experience: Â Diagnosis & Tests Diagnosing diarrhea itself is simple
but doctors may want to determine the condition s cause for those whose symptoms are severe and/or ongoing.
Treatment & Medications Most cases of diarrhea resolve spontaneously within a few days and all that is needed is preventing dehydration by replacing lost fluids according to the NIH.
These medications however are recommended not for diarrhea caused by bacterial infection or parasites according to the NIH since organisms will be trapped in the intestines
if the diarrhea ceases before they are excreted completely. The Cleveland Clinic recommends drinking two to three quarts
or liters of liquids daily while recovering from diarrhea While water is fine it does not replace lost salt
and apple and pear juices since they may worsen diarrhea. Soft bland foods are recommended as well including bananas plain rice toast crackers boiled potatoes smooth peanut butter cottage cheese noodles and applesauce.
