2. What What is Celiac disease? Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestinal lining that can cause digestive discomfort The intestinal lining is sensitive to proteins, gliadins and glutelins, which make up gluten This autoimmune disorder can occur genetically and could be triggered by emotional stress, pregnancy, surgery or viral infections

3. A look inside the body... When gluten is consumed, one’s immune system antibodies form against gluten The damaged villi can not absorb nutrients properly, leaving a person mal nourished

4. Where is gluten found? Breads Pasta Cookies Chips Pizza crust Some drinks Foods with wheat, barley and rye

5. Common Symptoms Symptoms after consumption of gluten: Abdominal pain Bloating Diarrhea Symptoms of the disorder (over 300): Dermatitis Iron deficiency (anemia) disrupted menstrual cycles Musculoskeletal problems Weight loss or gain Poor balance Fatigue (more on next slide)

7. Diagnosis Blood tests, though not always accurate, can detect antibodies when one ingests gluten in their diet Doctors test for anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTGA) or anti-endomysium antibodies (EMA) A biopsy of the small intestine (upper endoscopy) can prove that one is has celiac disease if the blood tests come out positive
