Can celiac disease cause cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Celiac disease itself doesn't directly cause cancer, but it's associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancer if not managed properly. The most common cancer associated with untreated celiac disease is intestinal lymphoma, specifically enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), which affects the small intestine. Additionally, celiac disease is linked to an increased risk of other gastrointestinal cancers such as esophageal cancer and small bowel adenocarcinoma. However, following a strict gluten-free diet can significantly reduce these risks.

Can pets have Celiac Disease?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We can consider all cats as having Celiac Disease. As obligate carnivores, they do not have the enzymes to digest grains and extract any nutrition. So, the cat simply becomes fat, stresses their pancreas, and will become prone to diabetes.

Cats do best on grain-free foods. Most canned foods do not have grains, but check the labels. Even rice is not doing the cat any good; it is an empty starch.

Dry foods are notoriously full of corn, which many cats are allergic to, and wheat gluten, which is a form of protein a cat cannot digest. Look for "grain free" varieties.

While dogs are omnivores, grains can cause them problems, too. This is not what they eat in nature. After all, no pioneer father came back to the cabin, saying "Those wolves have gotten into the wheat field again!"

It can be upsetting to see how much these more nutritious foods cost. But since they satisfy a pet's hunger, our pets will eat less of these foods. They will not have to go to the vet for bowel and bladder problems caused by their foods, and they will be far less likely to develop a chronic illness from lack of proper nutrition.

Can celiac carriers be detected?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Short answer: no.

A parent may correctly identify an intolerance to gluten (and this is often the case as the disease is notoriously under-diagnosed by doctors and there are many misconceptions about it), but to correctly identify Celiac disease requires medical testing, either blood, biopsy or genetic assay tests.

On the other hand, since gluten intolerance and Celiac disease have the same treatment, a diet excluding certain grains and grain products, and there is no medicine or cure for the disease, the diagnosis is of limited value.

Going off gluten can make the disease harder to diagnose, but if you don't have access to testing or your doctors are uncooperative, and taking your child off gluten improves their health, then it's the right thing to do whether or not it's Celiac disease.

Is natural flavor gluten free?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is one of the trickiest ingredients to figure out. Natural flavoring isn't just one ingredient, it usually includes multiple ingredients and chemicals. So it is not for sure in what products it may be gluten free and in what products they aren't. But the only way I can know for sure is if Natural Flavor is listed on a certified gluten free product then it is for sure gluten free. Otherwise be careful when you see this ingredient in products you eat.

Dear Whoever,

Lot's of girls do that because their scared of making a fool of themselves in front of their crush. Sometimes they get nervous too. I remember I acted like a fool in front of my crush last year and then i would get really scared and wouldn't speak to him. If you want her to talk more, make her feel comfortable and show her you'll like her a lot.

How does gluten cause inflammation?

User Avatar

Asked by EMksA

Gluten is the protein. You get the same partially digested in your stomach. The polypeptides formed in this process go to your intestine. Three polypeptide sequences out of these are notorious. They probably form the antigen antibody complex with the proteins that are present in the brush border of your intestinal villi. This triggers the cellular response in which the lymphocytes migrate to the site. Not to eat the gluten protein is the only remedy for this problem at present. That is not the end of the world, if you can not eat few grains like wheat.
