It may seem like the end of carefree
eating after a Celiac diagnosis. It will
be hard, it will be an adjustment, but
following a gluten free diet is essential
for staying healthy.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye,
barley, rye, and triticale. When a person
with Celiac ingests gluten, the immune
system overreacts, seeing gluten as a
foreign body. The immune system attacks
and damages the villi in the small intestines.
Once gluten is removed, the intestine will
start to heal itself. It is estimated that
nearly 1 out of 100 people have this disease.
