LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder caused by gluten intolerance, affects about 1 in 100 Americans and happens when Gliadin, a protein in wheat, causes the immune system to attack its own bowel tissue. This causes villous atrophy - the erosion of the nutrient absorbing villi that line the small intestine. Other grains, such as barley and rye, have similarly shaped proteins and can cause the same reaction.
Celiac disease can cause dangerous and irreversible damage, caused mainly by the body's inability to absorb nutrients in foods and can lead to osteoporosis, anemia and stunted growth in children. However, studies show that early diagnosis and eliminating gluten from the diet will minimize the risks, help the body to repair itself, and lessen symptoms.
Patients should seek medical attention if they suffer from any of the following celiac disease symptoms:
- Bloating – Particularly after eating foods containing gluten;
- Chronic diarrhea. Stool may be pale or white in color;
- Constipation with pain and bloating;
- Weight Gain or Weight Loss – Many people will lose weight as the body's way of reacting to missing nutrients. Others who gain weight will have a more difficult time losing the weight until the diet is regulated and free of gluten products.
- Fatigue – Is the most common complaint and is usually caused by malnutrition caused by absorption issues. After diagnosis and the removal of gluten from the diet, fatigue is often the first symptom to be eliminated;
- Trouble concentrating – People may experience a "brain fog" that can persist for days after eating foods that contain gluten;
- Sleep disorders - Problems falling and staying asleep;
- Numbness and Tingling in the hands and feet;
- Depression - For most people, a proper diagnosis, along with dietary changes, significantly reduces depression.

They are customized to be specific to each patient's age, gender, activity level, nutritional needs and medical conditions and incorporate lean proteins and nutrient rich, green leafy vegetables and other healthy food choices that are appropriate for a gluten free diet.
