Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a chronic disease that progresses without a special diet. It is conditioned intolerance to the protein-gluten component of barley, rye and wheat - gliadin.

Such a disease is characterized by abdominal pain, flatulence, digestive problems, frequent diarrhea, copious stools, hypovitaminosis and protein-energy deficiency. Very often the disease occurs in a low-symptom latent form, which is the complexity of its timely treatment. In the treatment of celiac disease, a diet is important so that the body's condition does not deteriorate.

The best option for a patient with celiac disease is to switch to a permanent diet with the exception of prohibited foods - this will help not only improve the condition of the body, but also restore damaged organs. Improvement with a properly selected diet comes in about three months. The diet for celiac disease consists in excluding from the diet of all foods consisting of barley, rye and wheat: pasta and flour products, bread, cereals and any others that contain flour from the listed cereals.
