Check out this news item from Kim's Good Health. Celiac disease, gluten enteropathy, or tropical sprue are all names for a condition that means you are allergic to gluten and it is imperative that you follow a gluten-free diet -- even if you notice that some gluten-containing foods do not cause symptoms--otherwise, you will continue to damage the delicate lining of your intestinal tract. Diabetes and thyroid problems are often associated with this disease, but it often goes undiagnosed. This can have serious consequences, including stunted growth, malnutrition, osteoporosis, and even lymphoma. Take a quiz to see if you may need to have further testing, such as an anti-gliadin antibody assay.
