Celiac Disease

  • What is it?
    Celiac disease (a.k.a. celiac sprue or gluten intolerance) is an inheritable disease. The ingestion of the protein gluten (found in wheat, barley, rye, triticale, spelt, and kamut) results in an immune response that causes damage to the small intestines and inhibits absorption of nutrients. There are numerous other conditions associated with Celiac disease; thyroid disease and diabetes are the two most common. There is no cure for the disease. The only treatment is a gluten-free diet.
