• Gluten intolerance-also known as celiac disease, celiac sprue, and sprue-is a genetic autoimmune condition that makes it difficult for the body to properly absorb nutrients from foods
• The incidence of full-scale gluten intolerance has been found to be substantially higher in people with autoimmune thyroid disease
• The symptoms of subclinical gluten intolerance and celiac disease include: recurring abdominal pain and bloating; gas or intestinal difficulties; aggravated allergies; difficulty losing weight, etc.
• The only treatment for celiac disease is to follow a gluten-free diet.
• A gluten-free diet means avoiding all foods that contain wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats-in other words, most grain, pasta, cereal, and many processed foods
• Whether people with celiac disease should avoid oats is controversial because some people have been able to eat oats without having a reaction
