Synopsis :

From Dr. Peter H. R. Green, internationally
renowned expert on celiac disease and director of the Celiac Disease Center at
Columbia University, and medical author Rory Jones, an updated fourth
edition of the definitive book on celiac disease, one of the most
underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in the U.S.  

Celiac
Disease: A Hidden Epidemic is an
indispensable guidebook for anyone with celiac disease as well as for those with gluten intolerance or food sensitivities on a gluten-free diet. Since the last edition
in 2016, scientific advances have changed what we know about the disease, how
it is diagnosed and treated, and the long-term effect of a gluten-free diet on the brain
and body.
Celiac
disease is a hereditary autoimmune condition that damages the lining of the
small intestine so that it cannot properly absorb food. Without essential
nutrients, the entire body begins to suffer. The disease is triggered by
gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. The only “cure” for the
disease is a life-long gluten-free diet. The disease affects nearly 1 in every
100 people in the United States—50 percent of whom remain
undiagnosed and untreated. Although the primary target of injury is the small
intestine, CD can and often does affect the entire body. Complications from the
disease can include infertility, liver disease, osteoporosis, anemia, and other
autoimmune diseases (such as Type 1 diabetes and Thyroid disease), neurological
conditions, and even cancer.






This updated fourth edition includes the latest information on CD,
gluten intolerance, and gluten sensitivity. The important updates cover
everything from new testing devices to advances in therapies that may help
prevent gluten from entering and/or harming the intestines, to new research on
the long-term effect of the gluten-free diet on our minds and bodies. And more!
