For most people gliadin and glutenin get<br />
passed through the small intestines and on<br />
to the large intestines and then are<br />
excreted. However, the gliadin fragments<br />
can sneak into the intestinal wall with celiac<br />
disease, the exact reason behind this is a hot<br />
debate in nutritional sciences. Celiac<br />
disease is a relatively rare disease affecting<br />
about 2 million Americans.<br />
A wheat allergy is far simpler than celiac<br />
disease because a wheat allergy is a food<br />
allergy3. If you have heard of other food<br />
allergies, you may understand what is going<br />
on with a wheat allergy. In this instance<br />
though, it is not just one protein that is the<br />
problem, it is many different wheat proteins.<br />
So, with celiac it is gliadin but with a wheat<br />
allergy it is an allergy to many different<br />
wheat proteins. A wheat allergy<br />
predominately affects children, and<br />
fortunately they tend to outgrow it.<br />
In an allergic reaction, antibodies bind to the<br />
proteins that initiate a white blood cell<br />
reaction and can be severe enough to cause<br />
anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic<br />
reaction and can be fatal if not properly<br />
treated.<br />
Non celiac gluten sensitivity is<br />
characterized by the absence of a gluten<br />
allergy or celiac disease but still consists of<br />
symptoms such as bloating or general<br />
discomfort. It is a controversial topic due to<br />
the absence of a test that will show that<br />
there is a problem with the digestion of<br />
gluten. That is not the case for celiac and<br />
wheat allergy, these two have testing that<br />
shows a definite positive or negative<br />
diagnosis.<br />
on your standard western diet. What do<br />
your sleep and exercise habits look like? Are<br />
you eating fruits, vegetables, and legumes?<br />
What is your microbiota like? When was the<br />
last time you took broad-spectrum<br />
antibiotics? Does there needs to be an<br />
overhaul on your general health? If your gut<br />
isn’t healthy, you may have these<br />
intolerances. We need to look at our overall<br />
lifestyle4. That includes diet, sleeping<br />
patterns, and excess alcohol.<br />
