A gluten-free diet is recommended mainly in the treatment of celiac disease and wheat allergy; it is a diet completely free of ingredients derived from gluten containing cereals wheat, barley, rye, as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of flavouring, stabilizing or thickening agent. The diet may exclude oats some people for whom the diet is recommended can tolerate oat products and some doctors permit them but there is controversy about including them in a gluten-free diet because studies on the subject are incomplete. Because of the range of symptoms celiac disease presents, it can be difficult to diagnose. The symptoms can range from mild fatigue, bone thinning, and chronic diarrhoea, abdominal bloating, and severe weight loss. If a person with the disease continues to eat gluten, scientist's studies show that the sufferer will increase their chances of gastrointestinal cancer. It is therefore most urgent that the disease is quickly and properly dia gnosed so it can be treated. Fortunately, awareness is spreading. Diagnosis of celiac disease and gluten intolerance, is on the rise, and for children, strict adherence to a gluten-free diet is a must. Taking gluten out of the diet allows the damage caused to the gut lining to heal and symptoms to resolve, the obvious sources of gluten in the diet are breads, pastas, cereals, flours, pizza bases, cakes and biscuits. Gluten-containing cereals can also be used as an ingredient in soups, sauces, ready meals and processed foods, there are naturally gluten-free foods such as all types of rice, potatoes, millet, corn (maize), plain meat, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, all fruits, vegetables, pulses peas, beans and lentils. Many people feel a great improvement within a few weeks and certainly over a few months symptoms like nausea, diarrhea and bloating should clear up. Some symptoms though may take longer to improve, or maybe you will find one symptom gets better before another also da mage done to the gut varies between people and can take between one and two years in some cases.
