Hi majormike, Celiac Disease : Celiac disease is digestive disease which damages the small intestine. People who suffer from this disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. If they eat the foods which contain gluten they their immune system damages or kills villi. Symptoms of celiac disease are : Mainly digestive system is effected by it and most of the problems are of digestive ones like constipation, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, fatigue, infertility, miscarriages, mouth cancers,etc. There are some other common symptoms in children of this disease like irritation, delayed growth, dental problems, etc. Treatment : Most of the other diseases have the same symptoms like that of this disease so it is very hard to find it in initial stage. First is the main test that is very common Blood test. If the report is positive then Intestine Biopsy is done and followed by Dermatitis Herpetiformis. The complete gluten free diet is followed by the patients and almost the symptoms will be stopped by this diet. If the usage of gluten food is avoided then there will be not be any harm caused by digestive system.If you want the information regarding gluten free diet then you will get number of websites of the information regarding healthy diet. Keep smiling and happy mylotting :)
