3. INTRODUCTION
Gluten is the main structural protein complex of
wheat with equivalent toxic proteins found in other
cereals, including rye and barley.
Possibly the introduction of gluten-containing
grains, which occurred about 10,000 years ago with
the advent of agriculture, represented an
evolutionary challenge that created the conditions
for human diseases related to gluten exposure.

4. • Problems caused by these proteins are not
the same thing as blood sugar problems
caused by the carbohydrates in wheat. It’s
true that getting a majority of calories from
wheat (especially refined wheat) can cause
metabolic problems like blood sugar swings.

First, it alters the integrity of the gut, creating
cracks in the gut lining. Second, because gluten-
sensitive people cannot properly digest gluten,
these large molecules enter the bloodstream,
and the immune system recognizes them as
invaders, activating an immune response that in
turn can result in acne.

6. CELIAC DISEASE
• CD is a genetic, autoimmune
disorder that occurs in
reaction to the ingestion of
gluten.To develop celiac
disease a person must inherit
the genetic predisposition, be
consuming gluten, and have the
disease activated.

7. WHEAT ALLERGY
• Wheat allergy is an immune
reaction to any of the
hundreds of proteins in wheat.
When a person has a wheat
allergy, one type of white
blood cells, called B-cells, send
out immunoglobulin E
antibodies to “attack” the
wheat.
• At the same time, local tissues
in the body send out natural
chemical messengers to alert
the rest of the body that there
is a problem.

8. HOW ARE CELIAC DISEASE AND ANEMIA
CONNECTED?
• Celiac disease can cause
damage to the small
intestine where iron,
folate, and vitamin B12
are absorbed.

9. HOW ARE CELIAC DISEASE AND ANEMIA
CONNECTED?
• The most common
sign of celiac
disease in adults is
iron-deficiency
anemia that is
unresponsive to
iron therapy.

10. HOW ARE CELIAC DISEASE AND ANEMIA
CONNECTED?
• Iron and folate anemias are seen more often in
people with celiac disease because these
nutrients are absorbed in the upper two parts
of the intestine where damage can occur in
earlier stages of celiac disease.

11. THE GLUTEN-FREE DIET:
FACTS AND MYTHS
Individuals who have celiac
disease require a gluten-free
diet for health
reasons. Ingestion of gluten
in these individuals causes an
adverse reaction which
damages intestinal cells and
can lead to serious health
problems!!!
12. COMMON
MISCONCEPTIONS
ABOUT THE GLUTEN-
FREE DIET
• If an individual whose diet
contains large amounts of
breads, pastas and cookies
(especially those made from
refined flours) switches to a
gluten-free diet which
eliminates these foods while
increasing fruits, vegetables
and other healthful gluten-
free foods, the resulting diet
would likely be healthier.
13. ANOTHER COMMON
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE
GLUTEN-FREE DIET
• The presence or absence of
gluten alone is not related to
diet quality. What’s
important is the overall food
choices made within the diet,
whether it’s gluten-free or
not.
• On the other hand, this same
person could easily substitute
gluten-free breads, pastas and
cookies into the diet, without
increasing intake of healthful
gluten-free foods like
vegetables and fruits.
