What Can You Eat if You Have Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is a severe gluten allergy which limits the foods that a person can eat. The prime offender is wheat, which contains lots of gluten. However, many other foods which don't typically contain wheat still contain gluten in the form of a thickening agent. To be safe, a diet for celiac disease should only consist of fresh natural ingredients that don't contain wheat, such as fruits, vegetables, potatoes and rice, along with processed foods which are clearly marked as gluten free. Most packaged foods now come with a label that says gluten free or states that there is gluten, which means it should be avoided.
What if you have celiac disease?
If you have celiac disease, it means you have an intolerance to the protein called gluten which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oat products (if processed in the same factory or grown in the same field as wheat, barley, or rye). Celiac disease is caused by the gluten damaging the small intestine which causes malabsorbtion of nutrients from food. You will need to go on a strict gluten free diet the rest of your life which means avoiding bread, pasta and all wheat, barley, or rye products or derivatives. the good news is that there are many gluten free foods like rice and rice based flour that you can eat instead of wheat flour. There is much more information about celiac disease on the following website: http://www.gluten-free-for-life.com
What is gluten free diet and why it's important for health?
The reason for not eating gluten is when you have Celiac disease. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms. If a food is gluten free it means it doesn't contain gluten or any grains containing gluten. Source: I am a celiac.
Which parent is celiac disease inherited from?
Celiac is an inherited trait, like blue eyes, or curly hair. Since it is a recessive inherited trait, both parents of a person with celiac may not have the disease, but are carriers. It is also more prevalent in Scotch-Irish people, red heads and fair complexions. Celiac is not an allergy to wheat or gluten, but an autoimmune disorder. This means that the body attacks itself when gluten is consumed. As an autoimmune disorder, the only treatment is to avoid all products that contain gluten.There are many people that inherit the trait for celiac, but it also requires a trigger, such as massive consumption of gluten, stress, or viral infection, for celiac to become an active disease. It can begin as early as infancy, and as late as adulthood.If you have a direct relative with celiac, your chance of having it as well are much greater than the general population.
What is the cause of celiac diseases?
There is actually no cause of celiac disease. It is in your genes. It is by another family member that has celiac disease. Doesn't mean that your definitely going to have it, it just means that there might be a case that your going to get it.
What is the difference between celiac disease and a coeliac disease?
Gluten Intolerance is just a term used to describe being sensitive to gluten. A small proportion of people with gluten intolerance will test positive to celiac, so are said to have Celiac Disease. Gluten Intolerance affects around 15% of the population and Celiac Disease around 1% of the population. Unfortunately Celiac Disease is largely undiagnosed so that up to 75% of people with Celiac Disease, don't realise they have it. Returning a negative result for celiac doesn't necessarily mean it is OK to have gluten. If symptoms are present (things like bloating, flatulence and/or burping, adominal pain, diarrhoea and/or constipation, itchy rash or painful joints) it is a good idea to try out a gluten free diet and see if it helps. This doesn't mean cutting down on gluten containing foods it means eliminating them entirely or symptoms and/or damage to the intestine will continue. The gluten free diet is particularly important for those diagnosed with Celiac Disease and it is interesting to note that some people with Celiac Disease suffer none of the above mentioned symptoms - but may find out they are Celiac because of becoming anaemic (low in iron) as those with gluten intolerance will have problems absorbing nutrients. Long term effects of eating gluten when one is Celiac include intestinal damage, leaky gut syndrome, anaemia, osteoporosis, malnutrition, infertility, miscarriage, depression, dental enamel defects and even certain forms of cancer such as lymphoma of the small bowel. In children, undiagnosed Celiac Disease can cause lack of proper development, short stature and behavioral problems. Gluten is found in all types of wheat (except buckwheat which is actually a grass), rye and barley - so you have to watch out for things like malt too. Gluten intolerant people generally avoid oats also, however this has more to do with the oats being contaminated with wheat during transport. It is possible to get contaminant free oats and studies on celiacs who eat these oats have shown no long term detrimental effects.
