Celiac or Gluten Intolerant?

Question

So I've recently discovered that I have a gluten sensitivity or intolerance, although it is self-diagnosed. But what is the difference between an intolerance and Celiac Disease? If I have it, how would I get diagnosed with Celiac?

Answer

For a diagnoses you would need to go to your Primary Care Provider, describe your symptoms and why you think they're linked and ask for a blood test for celiac.

Celiac is caused by an autoimmune response against gluten protein spurs and your white blood cells attack your small intestinal lining. Gluten intolerance is similar but not specifically caused by the same genes as Celiac.

Answer

How have you self-diagnosed this? Is it because you cut gluten out of your diet and then tried to eat it again and felt sick?

Answer

Check out the Celiac Fisease Foubdation's website. They have TONS of information!

Answer

Celica is pretty much when you get anything with gluten or even contaminated with gluten and you get sick. Throwing up or popping.

Answer

Gluten sensitivity has been coined to describe those individuals who cannot tolerate gluten and experience symptoms similar to those with celiac disease yet lack the same antibodies and intestinal damage as seen in celiac disease.
