How Gluten Intolerance Causes Weak Bones
Did you know that 75% of all celiac disease patients have low bone density (osteopenia) and that nearly 40% of all celiac disease patients have full-blown osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is the quintessential silent disease. Most people only learn they suffer from the disease after they break a bone. This lesson will help you identify this stealthy
Gluten Ataxia
If you have sporadic ataxia, there’s a possibility that you could be suffering from gluten ataxia. Sporadic ataxia is ataxia that does not have a genetic or other known cause. More often than not, sporadic ataxia turns out to have a link to gluten intolerance. Fortunately there is treatment available. In this article we’ll define gluten ataxia, how it’s diagnosed, and how it relates to celiac disease symptoms.
Low Ferritin Symptoms
One of the early ways to diagnose symptoms of celiac disease is from a deficiency in minerals, like iron, absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall where celiac disease impacts the gastrointestinal tract. An iron deficiency can lead to anemia so it’s important to know how to detect low ferritin symptoms and what you can do about low ferritin levels.
Connection Between Celiac Disease And Addison’s Disease
Have you ever heard of Addison’s Disease? If you haven’t and you have a confirmed case of celiac disease, it’s important you understand the close association between celiac disease and Addison’s Disease. In a comprehensive study conducted by Orebro University Hospital in Sweden, more than 10% of all patients with celiac disease also developed Addison’s
Celiac Disease Symptoms Checklist
Delineating whether you are suffering from wheat allergy symptoms or gluten allergy symptoms or celiac disease will be up to your doctor, but this celiac disease symptoms checklist should at least help you understand if celiac disease is a real possibility and then help your doctor better understand why you should be tested. Once you know your condition, you can improve your health and quality of life with the proper treatment.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
We all have bacteria in our intestines. However, we have much more bacteria in our colon, or large intestine, than we have in our small intestine. If the small intestine develops a similar amount and type of bacteria as the colon, this can lead to several potentially serious problems. When this happens, it is called
Gluten Intolerance and Atherosclerosis Risk
Recent research suggests that celiac disease increases your risk for developing atherosclerosis, a leading cause of heart disease. However, the same research suggests that a strict gluten-free diet appears to mitigate this risk. Discover how celiac disease increases your risk and why I believe this risk may also be greater for people with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Gluten Intolerance Statistics
When you look at the statistics of gluten intolerance, you may be startled to recognize how many people around you probably suffer from some degree of gluten intolerance. It’s clear that gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are widespread, but, sadly, many people who have these conditions don’t even know it. Awareness and diagnosis is improving, but as you can see from these statistics we still have a long way to go.
Celiac Disease Symptoms In Adults
In many cases celiac disease symptoms in adults can be particular difficult to discern as many adults have slowly become accustomed to subtle discomforts. Among gluten sensitivity issues, celiac disease symptoms remain the most severe and consequential. Unfortunately, they are not always easy to identify or understand. And latent celiac disease may also occur, where the symptoms of celiac disease in adults occur but then fade.
