What on Earth is a Celiac ?

"Is Candida albicans a trigger in the onset of celiac disease?"

This interesting study compares a specific amino acid sequence found in Candida cell wall protein to a gliadin amino acid sequence that triggers the immune response in celiac disease. The researchers found that the sequences are “identical or highly homologous to known celiac disease-related alpha-gliadin and gamma-gliadin T-cell epitopes,” and PROPOSE THAT CANDIDA IS THE TRIGGER FOR CELIAC DISEASE....Lancet. 2003 Jun 21;361(9375):2152-4.

To clarify, this research shows that a protein found in the cell wall of Candida is very simiilar to gluten. As a result, the immune system can confuse gluten found in grains for the cell wall of the Candida and then mount a response against the gluten! The immune cell bound gluten then damages the small intestinal wall as in Celiac Disease!

"I was diagnosed
with Celiac Disease almost 15 years ago. It was considered a very rare disease at that time.
I have now developed other
autoimmune disease that may be related to being a Celiac who was diagnosed later in life. I wish the information available in "What On Earth is a Celiac?"
booklet
had been available back in the early 90's when I was having such a hard time getting answers! The e-booklet information has really opened my eyes to the bigger picture of the other
autoimmune disease that can be related to going for so long without getting an accurate diagnosis. I sincerely thank the author for trying to make this information available to more people."

Symptoms of Celiac Disease

Don't Be Misdiagnosed!

It is extremely important for health sufferers to become aware of the long list of intestinal diseases that can be attributed to Celiac Disease, but that mimic so many other diseases.

Celiac Disease is frequently misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, proctitis) pancreatitis, and even gall bladder disease, to name but a few.

There are numerous intestinal disorders that can be caused by or are related to Celiac Disease and many diseases that are associated with, or may be a by-product of Celiac Disease.

Do you know someone
with these symptoms?

They can range from no gluten sensitive symptoms at all to severe gas and diarrhea or non-intestinal disease symptoms such as muscle cramps, infertility, and even depression.

Symptoms of Celiac Disease can vary with each individual and cover a wide arena...

The number of illnesses and symptoms is surprising. Don't suffer needlessly. Discover the important, in-depth information regarding the symptoms of Celiac Disease in the booklet, "What on Earth is a Celiac?"
