What is celiac disease? :The celiac disease is intestinal malabsorption related to gluten and especially to one of the fractions of gluten, gliadin. It can occur at any age, in young children, adolescents and adults. People with celiac disease can not be fed with food containing gluten.
What is gluten?
The Gliadine part toxic gluten, is a protein reserve contained in certain cereals: wheat (Froment, Epeautre, Kamut), oats, barley and rye. The food grain by these compounds or their derivatives such as flours, starches, flakes, all contain gluten. But it can also be found in foods which are added to flour or starch is in manufacturing, either during the preparation.
What are the consequences of the absorption of gluten
If a patient celiac eat foods containing gluten, it will suffer damage at his small intestine. The ingested gluten will destroy the intestinal villi (villus) that allow the absorption of food and thus allow the organization to feed themselves. These villi can no longer perform their function; food swallowed will not be assimilated.
The treatment of celiac disease
The only way of treatment is of celiac disease is the gluten-free regime. But it can be effective only insofar as it is strictly followed. The concern of patients is therefore appropriate to exclude gluten from their diets. Compliance with this arrangement may cause problems in communities, camps, canteens, restaurants… We must be vigilant in the choice of food trade, gluten may be present in direct (flour, bread crumbs…) or hidden form (starch, modified starch, starch products). There are manufacturers of products without gluten, which can not give up the foods like pasta, bread, cakes…
It must also be vigilant in the composition of medicines.
This is the price that will correct the anomalies clinical, biological and histology, and that will decrease the risk of neoplastic complications, such as lymphoma of the small intestine
