Much like fruits and vegetables, meats, chicken and fish are usually safe to eat.  You just need to check on label to make sure no seasonings or fillers were used.  You need to steer clear of meats containing bread crumbs and ones that are fried.  Most places use the same oil for frying, which causes cross contamination.  Once again, fresh is best.

Day 1 Of 6 You Have Celiac Disease

Finding out you have Celiac disease changes your life.  Foods you have once enjoyed, you have to now avoid.  You need to do your research to what has gluten and what doesn't.  In today's world there are so many choices, eating gluten free is easier than years ago.  After some time, you will adapt to your new lifestyle. 
The easiest way to stick to a gluten free diet is to eat unprocessed, fresh foods, and avoid prepackaged, canned or frozen.
Here is a list of gluten free food items that will help make it easier to stick to a gluten free diet.

Enzyme From Oral Bacteria Could Help Celiac

There has been research to show that an isolated enzyme from bacteria present in human saliva
has potential as therapy for Celiac disease.  Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes
severe digestive and other health problems when gluten is ingested.  An estimated 3 million
people have the disease with the only treatment, a strict gluten free diet. 

Gluten found in wheat, barley and rye contain the immunogenic sequences that drive Celiac
disease.  The immune response in the small intestine goes into overdrive when people with
the disease ingest gluten.

Many patients find it hard to adhere to a strict gluten free diet.  The new research focuses on
methods that target the peptides in gluten.  This includes a vaccine based strategy and the use of
enzymes that break down gluten before gluten reaches the small intestine.  More research has to
be done.

Gut Bacteria And Celiac

  A new study has found that gluten, which we know damages the small intestines of people with Celiac 
disease, could be metabolized by bacteria when the gut fails to digest it.
Celiac  is a genetic autoimmune disease where the person is unable to digest gluten, leading to
damage in the small intestines.  This damage leads to deficiencies of iron, calcium, vitamin D, protein,
fat and several other nutrients.

This disease affects 1 in 100 people worldwide while in the United States almost 2.5 million people
still haven't been diagnosed, exposing them to the risk of long tern health problems.
