Celiac disease
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten. In people with celiac disease, gluten triggers an immune response that can damage the intestinal lining and interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients.
Because gluten triggers the condition, it must be completely eliminated from the diet long term. However, gluten can be found in many foods and products, which can make following a gluten-free diet particularly challenging.
Gluten-Free Diet
Following a gluten-free diet involves more than simply removing bread and pasta from your diet. It is important to learn how to identify sources of gluten, choose appropriate foods, and prevent cross-contamination while maintaining a varied and balanced diet.
A nutrition consultation can help you better understand the gluten-free diet and incorporate it into your daily life.
Personalized Support
Celiac disease can also be associated with nutritional concerns, including nutrient deficiencies, difficulties absorbing nutrients, changes in weight, or, in children, growth-related concerns.Your registered dietitian nutritionist can assess your nutritional needs and support you in following a gluten-free diet that meets your needs despite dietary restrictions.
At ABC Health Clinic, you receive personalized support to help you adopt a balanced, safe, and sustainable gluten-free diet that fits your lifestyle.
