Celiac Disease New Study
Celiac disease: It’s an illness you may have never heard of, but affects up to 3 million Americans, and could be affecting you.The disease causes severe reactions to gluten, which is commonly found in wheat, barley and rye.
A new study identifies proteins that trigger the gluten allergy, however researchers say applying this information in the real world is still years away. That’s not soon enough for people who have the condition and those who don’t know celiac is causing their aches and pains.
The most common symptoms of celiac disease are abdominal pain and diarrhea, but they can range from fatigue to infertility.This makes it difficult for doctors to pin down the cause of a patient’s health problems, but letting symptoms slide can do serious harm.
Switching to a gluten-free diet can reverse most of the complications caused by celiac, but there’s no room for a free pass.
Eating even a little gluten can have a big effect. Doctors say not knowing you have celiac disease can be a big problem studies show going untreated significantly increases the risk of premature death.
So how do you know if you have Deliac Disease ? The best way to diagnose celiac is to get a biopsy of the small intestine, but a simple blood test can also show if you have this disease.
