The gluten-free diet was originally created for people with celiac disease (protein intolerance). Previously, this disease was extremely rare, now this disease is considered a common occurrence. According to statistics, 1 out of 100 people suffer from it.





Celiac disease appears even in infancy, when the baby begins to eat cereals that contain gluten protein (gluten). In young children, the digestive system digests gluten poorly, so the child's immunity perceives this protein as a dangerous object. In this regard, the baby's digestion is completely impaired, the intestinal tract suffers - as a result of which both mental and physical development slows down. Children have diarrhea, anemia, and exhaustion.





A specific drug is not required, the lifeline is gluten-free nutrition, which must be followed throughout life, i.e. refuse to use products containing gluten. The disease is severe in childhood, with a mild form of the disease, people can live until the end of life. As a result, such as diabetes, cancer, lupus, arthritis, diseases of the central nervous system can be directly associated with celiac disease.
