From Cellbe

Diane Jakubowski was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in spring of 2003,and her somewhat confused doctor sent Jakubowski to the nearest health food market place for answers. Celiac Illness, also identified as Celiac Sprue, is a genetically-linked autoimmune disease in which the absorbing surface of the small intestine is damaged by gluten, the protein discovered in wheat, barley, rye, and at times even oats. But as recently as two years ago, this illness was considered quite uncommon in this country, leaving several Celiacs misdiagnosed, below diagnosed, or simply overlooked altogether.

About 1 in 4700 individuals in the USA are diagnosed Celiacs. But current healthcare study indicates that this figure is extraordinarily inaccurate. All of a sudden, the extended-accepted pondering that Celiac Illness was uncommon has actually exploded off of the healthcare horizon. It is now recognized that 1 in 133 folks in this nation (or more) are almost certainly Celiacs...once more going undiagnosed...and suffering needlessly for numerous years.

In Celiac Illness, nutrients pass through the damaged small intestine, unabsorbed, typically making a host of often devastating wellness problems. Healthcare situations and ailments that have been linked with Celiac Illness are: iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, gum difficulties, skin problems, Multiple Sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and infertility.

Celiac Illness is regularly misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, proctitis) pancreatitis, and even gall bladder illness, to name but a few. There are actually millions of Celiacs running about in this country.who dont even know they are Celiacs. And the truly substantial added concern is that all these folks are simultaneously operating the threat of establishing secondary autoimmune disease. This, due to the truth that many Celiacs go undiagnosed an common of eleven yearsor even longer. In the authors case, it was 52 years.

Jakubowski's wish is that people will be able to acquire answers via information that has been made readily available on her internet site. Her wish is that sharing this data may possibly offer a service for those who endure from digestive disease for decades due to the direct or indirect influence of this insidious disease.
