Whether it’s because it’s becoming more common or it’s being diagnosed more frequently, we don’t know, but we do know that it is more present in Western society today. What is celiac disease? Celiac is a genetic disease that makes it impossible for people to digest gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, and rye. There is some debate as to whether it is in oats too. Celiac disease affects about 1 out of every 133 people in North America, but many – as many as 97% – have not been diagnosed. The disease doesn’t allow you to digest the gluten, which leads to malnutrition and considerably raises your risk of developing stomach cancer. When someone with celiac dise...

Most large grocery stores now have sections that contain gluten-free products , the only type of food those with celiac disease can eat. Why is it this? Has there been a rise in number of people with celiac disease or is it just being recognized more? Researchers were puzzled too, so they undertook a study to find out. According to a press release issued by the Mayo Clinic: “Celiac disease has become much more common in the last 50 years, and we don’t know why,” says Joseph Murray, M.D., the Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist who led the study. “It now affects about one in a hundred people. We also have shown that undiagnosed or ’silent’ celiac disease m... A Hearty Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2561351 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:02:52 +0100 2561351
