CELIAC DISEASE-GLUTEN FREE DIET

Only foods that are gluten-free can be included in this diet - even foods labeled as "low gluten" must be avoided.Gluten is the protein part of wheat, rye, barley, and other related grains.Of great concern and interest is the fact that nine out of ten people with celiac disease do not known they have it.
The cause of celiac disease is unknown, but it is thought there are both genetic and environmental factors involved. There is no cure, but the disease can be managed by lifelong adherence to a strict gluten free diet. Changing what you eat and drink may be hard at first. Think of these changes as "lifestyle" changes, not just "diet" changes. You may need to make these changes part of your daily routine.
