Coeliac disease. Coeliac disease, also spelled celiac disease, is an autoimmune disorder affecting primarily the small intestine that occurs in people who are genetically predisposed.[1] Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal distention, malabsorption, loss of appetite, and among children failure to grow normally.
This often begins between six months and two years of age.[2] Non-classic symptoms are the most common, especially in people older than two years.[3][4][5] There may be mild or absent gastrointestinal symptoms, a wide number of symptoms involving any part of the body, or no obvious symptoms.[2] Coeliac disease was first described in childhood;[3][6] however, it may develop at any age.[2][3] It is associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes mellitus type 1 and thyroiditis, among others.[6] Signs and symptoms[edit] Gastrointestinal[edit] Malabsorption-related[edit] Gluten sensitivity. Gluten-related disorders Gluten sensitivity (also gluten intolerance) is a spectrum of disorders including celiac disease in which gluten has an adverse effect on the body.
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, muscular disturbances and bone or joint pain.[1][2] Wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity are not the same conditions. However, self-reported Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) may not be a discrete entity or part of this spectrum disorder bring its role in functional bowel disorders like irritable bowel syndrome into question.[3] Gluten, named from the Latin gluten meaning glue[4], is a substance that gives elasticity to dough helping it to rise and to keep its shape. It is found in many staple foods in the Western diet. Symptoms[edit] Difference between idiopathic gluten sensitivity and celiac disease[edit] It is believed[by whom?]
Gluten-Free. Many people have found relief through the Low FodMap diet as a way to reduce IBS symptoms.
I was introduced to this by my Integrative M.D. and since I cut out these vegetables and other foods, I feel better and have had less stomach distress. FodMap’s are found in everyday foods such as ice cream and milk (Lactose); pears, honey, watermelon and apples (Free Fructose); onions, garlic and wheat (Fructans); legumes (Galaccto-Oligosaccharides); and mints, sugar-free gum and prunes (Polyols). Meats and oils are free of FodMap’s so they can be eaten along with gluten-free grains. Check out my Sugar-Free page and my Gluten-Free page for more information. The theory is that consuming foods high in FodMap’s results in an increased volume of gas and liquid in the large and small intestine, resulting in symptoms such as gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Below I’ve outlined a list of foods that are high and low in FodMap’s. Common HIGH FodMap Foods (Foods to Avoid) Fruits Sweeteners Vegetables Proteins. Anti- Inflammatory.
