Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects nearly one in every hundred
people. Unfortunately, 97 percent remain undiagnosed and untreated. They continue to
suffer from gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, anemia, and
itchy skin conditions -- to name just a few of the symptoms. These people consult
numerous doctors, who prescribe drugs and diets that may alleviate some symptoms,
but rarely work for long.  If you are one of these people, the real answer to your medical
problems may lie in this book.

Celiac disease is a hereditary condition that damages the lining of the small intestine
so that it cannot properly absorb the food that you eat. Without essential vitamins,
minerals, and nutrition, the entire body begins to suffer. Because of its autoimmune
nature it also sets off reactions that reverberate throughout all the organs of the body.
This is a disease that you do not outgrow. The true medical impact of celiac disease is
just beginning to emerge!
