Is Celiac Disease A Genetic Disease?

Over the last few years more and more people have been diagnosed with this disease, and their number one answer is how they got it. Well first and foremost I'm a big believe in healthy eating, and if you don't eat healthy and take care of suckled, you will have health problems - even something as severe and complex as Celiac disease. Second off, this disease is actually quite common and yes, it can be from genetics. There are two main types of Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy. The first one is the one that really effects people.

They have all the symptoms and simply cannot eat specific gluten foods. The other type if where the person doesn't even know they have the disease in itself because they have minimal to ZERO symptoms - this is also known as "silent" Celiac disease! This is an autoimmune rheumatoid disease which involves the small intestine. However bad this disease is, it can be reversed in most instances if you simply watch what you eat, how you eat it and when you eat it. It’s suggested that you absolutely stay away from ANYTHING that contains any gluten - some people decide it's just easier to become a vegetarian.

Most vegans and vegetarians won't eat things with preservatives, specific fat substances, additives, etc. Instead, they only eat fish, veggies, gluten free products and fruit. Don't let this dismay you, there are still some really yummy foods you can eat - even dessert items such as gluten free cookies, gluten free crackers, wheat free cookies and gluten free snack options. If possible look for brands, foods, restaurants and recipes that say gluten free. So if you are looking for bakery items, you would want to find a gluten free bakery - which these days is pretty easy to find!
