2 What is Gluten? Gluten is the general name for one of the proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-containing foods can be part of a healthful, balanced diet; however, some people may suffer from conditions that require elimination of gluten from the diet. There are three common medical conditions associated with gluten that susceptible individuals may encounter celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and gluten intolerance. These conditions are commonly used to describe individuals with adverse physiological conditions related to gluten. It is harmful for someone with celiac disease to eat foods that contain gluten; however, a gluten-free diet is harmful to individuals that do not suffer from one of these conditions. What is Celiac Disease? Celiac disease affects 1 out of every 133 people in the United States. In people with a genetic susceptibility, celiac disease results from eating gluten, which triggers an immune response to attack the lining of the small intestine. The process may also damage other areas of the body. Damage to the small intestine interferes with absorption of nutrients and increases the risk for diseases like bone disease, anemia and intestinal cancer. Right now, the only effective treatment for celiac disease is a lifelong, gluten-free diet. What is Gluten Sensitivity? Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is used to describe people with non-specific symptoms such as nausea, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea after eating gluten. Gluten sensitivity involves an immune reaction to gluten. However, unlike celiac disease, that reaction does not involve the production of damaging antibodies that cause intestinal damage. What is Gluten Intolerance? Gluten intolerance is commonly used to describe individuals who have symptoms after eating gluten, and who may or may not have celiac disease. Similar to gluten sensitivity, these symptoms may include nausea, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea.
