Gluten Free Works
Gluten is a protein in wheat, barley, rye and oats. It can cause serious health problems if undigested fragments get through the small intestinal defenses and enter our bloodstream. Click to learn about gluten sensitivity.
Moreover, in people who have inherited the common response to gluten called celiac disease, these fragments provoke a specific immune response in the small intestinal lining itself. Resulting inflammation damages the delicate lining, preventing proper absorption of food. A great many problems can develop as the body malfunctions for lack of needed nutrients. Many associated disorders and complications may be avoided by early treatment with the gluten-free diet. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is a skin manifestation of celiac disease.

Celiac Central
When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the fingerlike villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment.
Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
Researchers have determined that celiac disease is a genetic condition, meaning that it is inherited. In some cases, celiac becomes active or is triggered by events such as surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.
Roughly one out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease, but 97% remain undiagnosed. This means that almost three million Americans have celiac disease and only about 100,000 know they have it.
Celicac Disease Foundation
Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) is a highly-regarded national organization recognized throughout the world. CDF strives to promote awareness and build a supportive community for patients, families and health care professionals. CDF is actively involved in advocating for patient concerns and networking with other national and international organizations.
