Wheat Intolerance - Celiac Disease

Also called enteropathy or hypersensitivity to the gluten polypeptide, gliadin, which is mainly found in wheat, oats, rye, barley (BASO), and triticale.

Khorosan wheat (kamut®) and spelled contain lower quantities of gluten than wheat and are sometimes better tolerated. In the case of wheat, the immune reaction is directed against gliadin. For barley, hordein is the cause and for rye, secalin.

This pathology is characterized by stomach pain, flatulence, diarrhea or whitish, very bulky loose stools containing a certain quantity of chyle, weight loss, migraines or irritability, a distended, flabby abdomen, pain joints.

Poor assimilation of nutrients due to gluten allergy can lead to deficiencies in iron, vitamins B9, calcium and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Celiac disease is very common. Get screened, even if there are no signs present. Take a food intolerance test (ImuPro, for example) to offer a suitable individualized diet.
