Facts About Celiac Disease

For people with Celiac disease, a crumb from
a piece of toast can be dangerous.  Having celiac
means that exposure to gluten causes the immune
system to attack the small intestine, damaging
the  lining.  This leads to vitamin, mineral and
nutrients from being absorbed.

Celiac disease is on the rise.  A gluten free diet is the
only cure as of yet.  Once eating gluten free, symptoms
will go away.

Gluten sensitivity and celiac are different.  People
with celiac disease and sensitivity may have
similar symptoms, such as bloating and fatigue.
Only those with the disease dose the immune system
disrupt the body's ability to absorb vitamins, minerals
and nutrients.
