Extractions: Celiac Disease Facts What is celiac disease? Celiac disease is a genetic disorder affecting children and adults. People with celiac disease are unable to eat foods that contain gluten, which is found in wheat and other grains. In people with celiac disease, gluten sets off an autoimmune reaction that causes the destruction of the villi in the small intestine. Celiac sufferers produce antibodies to attack the gluten, but the same antibodies also attack the intestine, causing damage and illness. Finding the cause of this disease is a priority of the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. What are the symptoms of celiac disease? Symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, weakness, malnutrition, and other gastrointestinal problems. In children, the symptoms may include failure to thrive (an inability to grow and put on weight), irritability, an inability to concentrate, diarrhea and bloating.

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Celiac disease - sprue Information Celiac disease - sprue Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Alternative names : Gluten intolerance, Nontropical sprue, Sprue Definition : This is a common disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged in response to ingestion of gluten and similar proteins , which are found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains (including hybrid grains, such as triticale). The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown. There is evidence that the disorder is inherited since it tends to run in families. The disorder may be caused by an abnormal immune response to proteins found in grains, particularly gluten and the related protein gliadin. The intestines contain projections (called villi) that normally absorb nutrients. Celiac disease causes these villi to become flattened and lose the ability to absorb nutrients. Weight loss anemia , and vitamin deficiencies may occur as a result of this malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract).

Extractions: *My friends say my husband is a saint. Hmmm, ... just because...a few minor catastrophes have happend as a result of my behavior. It's all in the book What Celiac's may not eat: They cannot have any WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, or RYE or any derivative, such as Modified Food Starch or HVP or any Vinegar that is grain based. Almost all ready made baby food has Gluten in it. Mandy may have 100% beef, and ham and potatoes, rice, corn, and fresh vegetables, and some candies. But, no candy or food that has any Gluten in it. We manage by reading ingredients on everything. And calling manufacturer's when it say's "natural ingredients" (some natural ingredients are Grain Based). When we eat out, it is a challenge. Believe it or not, McDonalds is one of our favorite places to eat, because their hamburgers are 100% beef and their French Fries are cooked in uncontaminated oil (oil that has not also been used to fry breaded products). Celiac Disease is genetic. Mandy will have it all her life. If she ingests Gluten, after 4 hours her intestines blister and begin to cramp, then her legs begin to cramp, and she gets a headache. And if she gets enough Gluten, her skin blisters.

Extractions: Celiac Disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. While relatively unknown to the general public, recent findings have found that Celiac Disease may be the third most common inherited disorder in North America (Dr. Peter Green, Columbia University, NY). Celiac Disease as yet has no known cure, but can usually be effectively treated and controlled.

Extractions: A disorder of the small intestine, celiac disease is characterized by sensitivity to gluten , a protein found in wheat, rye and other grains. When affected children eat gluten, their small intestine becomes damaged and cannot absorb nutrients properly. Celiac disease is common in certain parts of Europe (especially Ireland). It occurs less frequently in the United States, affecting about one in 2,000 children in some areas. Over the past several years, the incidence of celiac disease has been on the decline. In some patients, symptoms of celiac disease show up in late childhood or adolescence. In others, however, the problem appears in the first year of life, generally a couple of months after cereals are introduced. WHAT CAUSES CELIAC DISEASE?

Extractions: Organ-Specific Autoantibodies Linked to Dietary Gluten in Celiac Disease Patients WESTPORT, Sep 07 (Reuters Health) - Patients with celiac disease have high levels of diabetes- and thyroid-related autoantibodies that "disappear" when the patients are placed on a gluten-free diet. The finding confirms the high prevalence of organ-specific autoantibodies in patients with celiac disease, and supports the theory that these antibodies are gluten-dependent, Dr. Alessandro Ventura, of the Universita di Trieste, Italy, and colleagues say in the August issue of the Journal of Pediatrics The investigators tested 90 children with celiac disease for serum antibodies to islet cells, glutamic acid decarboxylase, insulin, and thyroperoxidase. The overall prevalence of diabetes- and thyroid-related autoantibodies was 11.1% and 14.4%, respectively. Prior studies have suggested that the presence of organ-specific autoantibodies in patients with celiac disease is "related to the presence of a second autoimmune disease." However, the fact that serum organ-specific autoantibodies tended to disappear in the current study when patients were placed on a gluten-free diet supports the position that these antibodies are at least partly gluten-dependent. "A gluten-free diet started early may prevent the other autoimmune diseases frequently associated with celiac disease," Dr. Ventura and colleagues hypothesize. However, further studies will be needed to determine the clinical significance of the organ-specific autoantibodies in these patients and to confirm this hypothesis.

Extractions: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease of the small intestine, and gluten is the enemy. Celiac disease may have a genetic or immune component. It is an intestinal intolerance to gliadin, a protein part of gluten. Gluten is the protein portion of wheat, barley, rye and oats that gives it elasticity. It is believed that the gluten remains undigested. If untreated, celiac disease can be associated with malabsorption. What happens is that many nutrients from food that are necessary for health are not immersed adequately in the small intestine. Treatment involves a gluten-free diet for life, to limit damage to the villi and mucosal lining of the jejunum, a part of the small intestine. Only then can nutritional status improve. Celiac has been misdiagnosed as spastic colon or irritable bowel. Sometimes this malady is found in people who have Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid problems, infertility or osteoporosis. Sometimes emotional stress may make a dormant case active.

Extractions: Once the mystery is solved and celiac disease is diagnosed, those signs of gluten intolerance come through your body, loud and clear. You probably have asked yourself, How can a grain become a foreign substance that creates so many sensitivities and serious problems within the body? One important piece of information to keep in mind is if your digestion is affected, then absorption is not taking place, and elimination is going to consume your time and thoughts. You will not feel well, nor will you be nourished. You must realize that nutrition is your most important vehicle and ally, especially in this intestinal intolerance.

Extractions: When food becomes the enemy Imagine what it would be like if eating pizza, pasta, most breads, cookies, cakes, candy bars, canned soup, luncheon meats or drinking beer left you with cramps, diarrhea, anemia and chronic fatigue. For many people with celiac disease, that's reality. Celiac disease occurs when a protein called gluten - found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats - generates an immune reaction in the small intestine of succeptible people. Food normally doesn't provoke a response by the body's immune system - the body's defense against microbes and other threats to health. "Basically, part of your body is attacking itself," says Joseph A. Murray, M.D., a gastroenterologist and celiac disease expert at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. "Gluten in the diet triggers a reaction from the immune system that causes the lining of the small intestine to become swollen and inflamed." As a result, tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine called villi shrink and sometimes disappear. Microscopically resembling the deep pile of a plush carpet, villi absorb vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from food.

What Is celiac disease? celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages thesmall intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.
http://www.planetceliac.com/celiacinfo.html

Extractions: Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. Specifically, tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, on the lining of the small intestine are lost. Nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream through these villi. Without villi, a person becomes malnourishedregardless of the quantity of food eaten. Because the body's own immune system causes the damage, celiac disease is considered an autoimmune disorder. However, it is also classified as a disease of malabsorption because nutrients are not absorbed. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
