How do you get rid of the celiac disease?
You can't get rid of celiac disease. But if you go on a gluten-free diet, then you wan't get as sick. I should know; I have had Celiac for 7 years now. Sorta sucks but it's life.
Does celiac disease cause dehydration?
OH yeah :) I have had celiac disease for 12 years. I was so tired as a younger kid - even falling asleep on the kitchen chair at 5:00 in the evening!
Is celiac disease fatal?
No, celiac disease is not fatal. you have nothing to worry about. I've had celiac disease for 3 years and I'm fine. all you have to do is stay off gluten, or wheat. You have to avoid wheat, rye, barley and any other grain in which the protein gluten is found. Most if not all people with Celiac disease must also avoid gluten by-products like malt that is used in many processed foods. Most every commercially prepared food product has some form of gluten agent in it, so read labels carefully or you may be ingesting gluten without even knowing it. Visit celiac.com for more info. Actually, it can be fatal. My aunt died from Celiac Disease in 2006.
An Introduction to Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease was once thought to be rare, but increased knowledge of the disease has led to a surge of new diagnoses in the last ten years. The disease effects nearly 3 million people in the United States and can be fatal if left untreated.What is Celiac Disease?Celiac disease is a condition that effects the digestive system. It is triggered by the consumption of gluten, which is a component of wheat, rye and barley. The disease causes the body to attack the intestinal lining, which is essential to the absorption of nutrients.What are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?The symptoms of celiac disease may vary from patient to patient and some only complain of vague discomfort. Common symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. These symptoms are similar to those experienced by patients diagnosed with a host of other diseases, including stomach ulcers, infections, anemia, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.Some patients may experience a skin rash, upset stomach, depression, anxiety, joint pain or oral sores. Other symptoms may include osteoporosis, tingling in the limbs, gray-colored stools, fatigue, stomach cramps or weight loss.What Causes the Disease?Doctors still are not sure what causes celiac disease, but they believe that it may be genetic. People with a close blood relative that have been diagnosed are more likely to develop the disease themselves. Other risk factors include having Down syndrome or colitis. People that have type 1 diabetes or a thyroid disease are also at a greater risk for developing celiac disease.How is Celiac Disease Diagnosed?Diagnosing celiac disease can be difficult, as symptoms often mimic those of other disorders. Higher levels of certain antibodies can be detected through a blood test. These extra antibodies may be produced by the body in an effort to destroy gluten. Damage caused by celiac disease can be seen when doctors take a sample of the small intestine. Some doctors use camera pills to view the small intestine. This endoscopic procedure allows the doctor to examine the patient's intestinal tract by collecting hundreds or thousands of images.
Who discovered Celiac?
The Roman Physician, Galen, sometimes known as Aretaeus of Cappadocia, in the latter half of the second century AD. The text was translated into English in 1856 by Francis Adams, and the Celiac portion excerpted and published separately along with original descriptions by Samuel Gee in 1888. The specific grains involved were not identified until 1950, by a Dutch professor named Dicke.
What are the symptoms of Celiac's disease?
I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was four years old. Although I have grown up learning to say no to food that I didn't know what the ingredient list was, occasionally I eat wheat, malt or barley by accident or contamination. Some symptoms that I experience are; tingling fingers, diarrhea, cramps, passing gas, and nightmares. Many times I have woken up the morning after I had come in contact and family members have said they hear me crying or screaming in my sleep and that is how I know that I have come in contact. The next day is when you experience most or all of the other symptoms. Hope this helps anyone that may think that they are a celiac. Also if you live in Canada there are many Celiac Association meetings where they discuss celiac disease.

What is ceoliac 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.When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying villi-the tiny, fingerlike protrusions lining the small intestine. Villi normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Without healthy villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food one eats.Celiac disease is both a disease of malabsorption-meaning nutrients are not absorbed properly-and an abnormal immune reaction to gluten. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease is genetic, meaning it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggered-or becomes active for the first time-after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stressSymptoms of celiac disease vary from person to person. Symptoms may occur in the digestive system or in other parts of the body. Digestive symptoms are more common in infants and young children and may includeabdominal bloating and painchronic diarrheavomitingconstipationpale, foul-smelling, or fatty stoolweight lossIrritability is another common symptom in children. Malabsorption of nutrients during the years when nutrition is critical to a child's normal growth and development can result in other problems such as failure to thrive in infants, delayed growth and short stature, delayed puberty, and dental enamel defects of the permanent teeth.Adults are less likely to have digestive symptoms and may instead have one or more of the following:unexplained iron-deficiency anemiafatiguebone or joint painarthritisbone loss or osteoporosisdepression or anxietytingling numbness in the hands and feetseizuresmissed menstrual periodsinfertility or recurrent miscarriagecanker sores inside the mouthan itchy skin rash called dermatitis herpetiformisPeople with celiac disease may have no symptoms but can still develop complications of the disease over time. Long-term complications include malnutrition-which can lead to anemia, osteoporosis, and miscarriage, among other problems-liver diseases, and cancers of the intestine.

No reason, as far as I know, except that Tylenol is bad for your liver in high doses. Be very careful about taking high doses of Tylenol. In people that taking more than the recommended dosage, it has contributed to a lot of liver disease over the years.
