Celiac Disease

The month of May is Celiac Disease Awareness
month.  Celiac disease on average affects one in
100 people.  It is an autoimmune disease in which
the ingestion of gluten damages the villi of the
small intestine.

The function of the villi is to absorb nutrients. 
When damaged, nutrients cannot be properly absorbed,
which can lead to health problems.

The only treatment for this disease, is a strict gluten
free diet.  Luckily there are many gluten free options
available.  Eating gluten free is not just a trend, for many
it is the only answer.
