Celiac Disease: 101

By Elizabeth Roberts, Health Guide Monday, September 21, 2009

 

If you are diagnosed with Celiac disease the only treatment or cure for it is to not eat gluten. Your doctor will help you to learn how to eat a healthy, gluten-free diet. At first, eating gluten-free can be difficult and frustrating but as you continue to eat a gluten-free diet your symptoms will dissipate and you will begin to feel healthier and happier.

 

In later Shareposts I will discuss eating gluten-free in more detail.

 

Remember, if you suspect you have a problem with gluten continue to eat gluten until you can consult with your doctor and have the appropriate testing done to rule Celiac disease in or out as a cause for your symptoms.
