Gluten Can Kill You

Nowadays, many of us have heard of and perhaps have even tried the “Gluten Free” diet. Gluten is a substance present in cereal grains, especially wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. While some avoid it for dietary reasons, others must avoid it for their safety.

Gluten is a mixture of two proteins that cause tremendous illness in people with celiac disease. Patients with celiac disease can go years without knowing that eating simple foods such as pasta or others with grain can dangerously inflame their small intestine, causing immune system reactions that often cause diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications.

Unfortunately, for those who do not become diagnosed, Celiac Disease can wreck havoc on the body and without diagnosis and treatment, celiac disease is ultimately fatal in 10 to 30% of people. Misdiagnosis is serious and dangerous. Do not wait to obtain a medical Second Opinion today. SecondOpinions.com
