Grains that cause celiac diseaseWritten by Rudy Silva
Eating grain products - breads, cakes, cereals - have long been consider a healthy choice. If you look at RDA recommendations, grains, at bottom of pyramid, are what you should be eating most of to maintain a healthy body. The RDA's recommendations do not consider any food to be harmful for you. You must remember that RDA's recommendations come from a government agency and indicating a particular food could be harmful to your health could financially affect that industry. The government does not want to destroy any industry even if it is harmful to your health. Just look at smoking industry. It's still alive. In medical and alternative medicine circles, celiac disease is well known for being cause of numerous detrimental body conditions. In its basic form, celiac disease is damage of intestinal lining by gluten proteins, which come from grains - bottom of pyramid. Let's get technical for a moment and say that specific proteins in gluten that damage intestine are called "gliadin." What you need to know about gliadin is that when you eat it, it acts like an invading substance, which activates your body's immune system to destroy and eliminate invader – your favorite food bread and cereals. Eating an excess of gluten causes celiac disease. Where is gluten found? It is found in products made from wheat, rye, barley, kamut, triticale, oats, and spelt. It is now well established in medicine that 1 in approximately 100 have celiac disease. Many have disease without having any symptoms. The continual use of and eating of detrimental grains will eventually bring on symptoms. People with celiac disease can expect to have illnesses associated or connected with: ·cancer ·epilepsy ·attention deficit disorders ·auto immune diseases ·osteoporosis ·brain disorders ·neurological diseases ·premature death ·premature births ·chronic liver diseases ·gastrointestinal problems ·food allergies ·chronic fatigue ·malnutrition ·and list goes on and on When intestinal lining is damage by gluten, your overall health is damaged. Your immune system is activated to prevent further intestinal damage causing your overall response to other body crisis to diminish. Your ability to fight off other diseases is diminished. Your ability to absorb nutrients from your food is reduced leading to nutritional deficiencies. How does gluten create so many problems in body? As gluten moves into intestine, it is digested and broken down into small protein molecules - peptides (which consist of 2-3 amino acids bound together) and free amino acids. Amino acids are basic building blocks make up protein. Once digestion is complete, peptides and free amino acids easily move into intestinal wall cell structure and then into your blood stream. This is what happens in a healthy person.
