Celiac Disease affects one out of 133 people in the United States.  Unlike a wheat allergy or food sensitivity, diagnosed Celiac Disease is not a temporary food intolerance, but a life long autoimmune disease.   Left untreated CD has the potential to lead to a host of other problems such as iron deficiency anemia, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, early onset osteoporosis/osteopenia, and even infertility. Fortunately the complete exclusion of very culprit of the symptoms - gluten - from the diet, can reverse such manifestations as inflammation of the small intestine, thus eliminating the symptoms of the disease.
