Because we don’t yet know what triggers someone genetically predisposed to celiac disease to actually manifest the disease, I’m fascinated with any study that tries to isolate the different potential variables involved. A study conducted by the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children and published in the Journal of Pediatrics suggests that children born in the
In an earlier post I discussed research indicating that multiple infant infections increase the risk of celiac disease. In short, the more infections an infant has, the greater its risk for developing celiac disease. At the time I suggested this may be a result of the antibiotics administered to treat the infections, because antibiotics change
Could gut bacteria explain why celiac disease manifests itself in some genetically predisposed people but not in others? Could we develop an effective treatment for celiac disease using probiotics? Recent research suggests the microbiome in the human digestive tract may illuminate the celiac disease trigger. It may also illuminate an effective treatment. Read on to learn more.
Recent research ties infant infections to increased celiac disease risk. But why? In this post Sarah discusses different reasons and ways our gut bacteria population changes and what consequences may result because of these changes.
Candida is a type of fungus that naturally occurs in certain areas of our bodies. When it is in check, candida doesn’t cause any problems, but when it starts to grow and get out of control it can cause some uncomfortable candida symptoms. There are a few different things that can cause an overgrowth of candida. One of these causes is sometimes related to the complications of gluten intolerance.
While the only medically accepted treatment for celiac disease is to follow a strict gluten-free diet, new research suggests there are a variety of origins of this condition. Because of this it is important to consider additional or supplemental ways to help treat this condition, and to help rebuild a body damaged by years of consuming gluten.
