Candida and Celiac PART THREE

[Guest guest]

http://www.denvernaturopathic.com/news/celiac.html Neurological damage occurs with celiac disease. Early on this was thoughtto be due to nutrient deficiencies caused by malabsorption. Currentresearch shows that the problem is more complex. Celiac disease stimulatesthe production of antibodies which attack areas besides the intestineincluding the central nervous system. About 40% of patients who sufferfrom idiopathic sporadic ataxia have celiac disease which damages theircentral nervous systems. [9,10,11] The neurological symptoms of celiacdisease mimic the symptoms of multiple sclerosis to the degree that celiacmust always be ruled out when diagnosing this disease. [12] Theneurological conditions caused by celiac disease are now called glutenataxia and cause damage to the cerebellum, the posterior columns of thespinal cord, and the peripheral nerves. [13] The studies on gluten ataxia have revealed a significant statistic. Inpatients who had clearly measurable antibodies that are diagnostic of celiacdisease and were suffering from gluten ataxia, only 13% had anygastrointestinal complaints. In other words, the hallmark symptoms of poordigestion we associate with celiac disease and use to diagnose the conditionmay be absent in 87% of patients with gluten related problems! [14] Thissuggests that celiac may be way under diagnosed. «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» § - PULSE ON 21st CENTURY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE! § Subscribe send email to: - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» GREAT VACATION RENTAL ON THE LAKE: www.vacationhomerentals.com/39833
