Gluten-Related Disorders and Gluten Free Diet Plan

Gluten consumption may result in many more health problems than just bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Introduction:

Gluten-related disorders result from an immune system response to wheat gluten, (an elastic protein in wheat) which may occur as a severe disease with malabsorption or as a mild disease in the form of sensitivity. Both genetic makeup, diet, and environmental factors lead to gluten-related disorders. The widespread use of gluten in a large number of food sources over long term by modern society has contributed to a significantly increased incidence of gluten-related disorders in recent years. A gluten-related disorder may occur in any age group as either gastrointestinal symptoms, as non-gastrointestinal symptoms, or a combination of both. A celiac disease diet will improve gluten intolerance symptoms and gluten sensitivity. Find a list of gluten free foods in the gluten free diet plan listed below. According to the Mayo clinic, the incidence of celiac disease has increased four-fold since 1950 and significantly increases the risk of mortality and gastrointestinal cancer if left untreated (1). Celiac disease (CD) and gluten-related disorder are more common in patients of northern European descent than other ethnic backgrounds.
