CELIAC DISEASE

It is a common lifelong genetically based autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the proximal small intestine. It is characterized by the bodys inability to digest gluten found in wheat ,rye and barley.When gluten(gliadin ) is ingested the body triggers an autoimmune response leading to inflammation in the small intestine which leads to malabsorption of virtually all the nutrients . The only treatment is a gluten free diet. In our clinic we plan a customized nutritious gluten free diet.
