Celiac Disease
December 2nd 2006 23:11
Some people may not have heard of this and other are unfortunate enough to know it very well. This is a condition that drains you of the ability to function without exhaustion, eat with a hearty appetite and one of the worst symptoms include anemia. Basically, you are too tired to do anything, never hungry and feel as though you are dragging through life.
Researchers used to ponder the mysterious disease but that is no longer the case. Unlike other health problem it is not caused by what one would think… the signs point to stress or depression… but couldn’t be further from the truth. It is actually developed because of the body’s inability to endure gluten. Gluten is the protein that is present in oats and grains.
There are few common causes of this disease: underlying problems with your immune system, studies show it is genetic, reoccurring problems with the small intestine.
Because cancer seems common with individuals who have this disorder, you should take this matter very seriously.
Luckily, there is hope. With a proper diet it can be controlled.
Avoid
•Breads
•Canned or packaged soups
•Cereals (bran, wheat, whole grains)
•Pasta
•Cheese spreads
•Processed meat
•Malts
Consume all you want
•Milk/dairy
•Nuts
•Fresh meats
•Fresh soups
•Fruits
•Veggies
•Corn cereals
•Potatoes
•Rice
•Desserts are fine as long as you use gluten free ingredients (especially with flour )
•Beverages are fine (except those containing malt)
•You can continue eating spices: salt, pepper, garlic, etc.
Be healthy!!!

I didn't know about celiac disease and it sounds really interesting.
No wonder Lilla was never a fan to bread. I must remind myself about not having them if I have similar symtoms hitting me (which happens occationally)
