What is the Best Celiac Disease Diet?

So what is celiac disease? According to celiac.org, celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder that can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide. Two and one-half million Americans are undiagnosed and are at risk for long-term health complications.

A patient who is diagnosed with celiac disease is required to start a gluten-free diet. As of present, a gluten-free diet is the only treatment for people who has been diagnosed. Since there are no pills or therapies available, the only way to manage celiac disease is through a strict, 100% gluten-free diet. Celiac disease patients who consume even small amounts of gluten can have continuous damage to their intestines regardless of the absence of symptom. Learning how to read food labels is the most important part of a successful gluten-free diet. So you must take time to fully understand to do’s and dont’s of identifying gluten in most products that you buy.
