Gluten Free Diet and Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which people develop an immune reaction to gluten. Gluten is a protein that appears in any food containing wheat, barley or rye. The immune system reaction results in inflammation and damage to the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to medical complications including stomach pain and failure to absorb nutrients.
Celiac disease has increased 4 to 5 fold over the last four decades, probably from an increased ability to diagnose it. The prevalence (about 1% of the global population) has begun to level off.
(Did You Know? A gluten free diet is the only current way to treat celiac disease.)
About 30% of those with celiac disease do not get better with a gluten free diet. This is possibly due to inadvertent contamination of food with gluten during processing or preparation. While those without celiac disease eat on average 7,500-10,000 milligrams of gluten, those with the disease need to typically stay below a 100 milligram threshold. Of course, this varies per individual.
There are a number of treatments that are being tested. They include an enzyme to help digest gluten, a drug to reduce the leakiness of the gut, a vaccination to prevent celiac disease, and antibody that blocks the autoimmune response to the body and and nanotechnology to reprogram the immune system.
