Why Celiac Diseases are so important to discuss?
Wheat sensitivity is often compared to an iceberg where the visible tip represents those with the symptomatic ailment. The greater proportion of the iceberg represents those with silent or latent forms of the disease.
- It is estimated that over 90% remain undiagnosed. According to estimates, it can take more than 10 years from symptoms to diagnosis, even in the Western countries.
- Non-Celiac Wheat sensitivity is an entity
- Modern wheat is immunogenic
- A paradigm shift in treating nutritional deficiency disorders and modern lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, auto immune disease and certain cancers, autism, neuro psychiatric diseases and neurological condition, reproductive disorders, dermatological disorders
