http://www.celiac.comMany of yourselves reading this hint and tip,shall not have heard about Celiac disease. Providing the website above,merely to enhance your learning,you may type the word, Celiac in your preferred search engine for more details on the subject.
If you children are confronting issues of health, after reading about its symptons, ask your doctor what they know about Celiac,and you may be quite surprised by their ignorance.
It is more known outside of the United States,than within our country.
Though should be known more by the American medical field than is thought,as even a recent study done by the independant agencies states.
It is not uncommon to have confronted countless wasted healthcare billings,bad advice given to later discover,yes DECADES later that you may have Celiac all those years,when some educated doctor knew their profession well enough to consider Celiac as an option.
Friends,am not discussing some recent discovery of medical science.
Am not intending to be bashing the medical field of science, though truly believe if they knew and understood their profession as any of their patients know their own professions,and were to have even read medical studies provided by the American Medical Association they would be more open-minded since to treat Celiac is much cheaper than all those wasted medical bills to not discover your health issues.
Educate yourself about Celiac and create your own conclusions.
By the way, I do not suffer from Celiac,based upon this post.
Amjust an open-minded person.
Some brief segments about Celiac for your benefit.
Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133 Americans.
Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms. The disease mostly affects people of European (especially Northern European) descent, but recent studies show that it also affects Hispanic, Black and Asian populations as well.
Those affected suffer damage to the villi (shortening and villous flattening) in the lamina propria and crypt regions of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences) that are found in wheat, rye, and barley. Oats have traditionally been considered to be toxic to celiacs, but recent scientific studies have shown otherwise.
This research is ongoing, however, and it may be too early to draw solid conclusions.
It is very important that doctors understand just how many people have this disease so that routine testing for it is done to bring the diagnosis rate in line with the disease's epidemiology.
Testing is fairly simple and involves screening the patient's blood for antigliadin (AGA) and endomysium antibodies (EmA), and/or doing a biopsy on the areas of the intestines mentioned above, which is still the standard for a formal diagnosis.
Hope you have learned something new today.
