Gluten Sensitivity Rapid Test

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease that develops as a result of an immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and some other cereals. When a person with coeliac disease eats foods containing gluten, an immune response is triggered in the body that damages the lining of the small intestine.

As a result of the immune reaction to gluten, the absorptive capacity of the small intestine is reduced and nutrients are not absorbed properly. In the long term, this can lead to nutrient deficiency, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and other health problems. Symptoms can vary and may affect the digestive system, skin, joints, nervous system and other organs.

Patients with coeliac disease must follow a gluten-free diet, which excludes foods containing gluten from their diet. This includes wheat, barley, rye and products made from them. It is important that people with coeliac disease read food labels carefully to avoid foods with hidden gluten content.

Coeliac disease is a common condition, and its exact cause is not yet fully understood. Heredity may also play a role in the development of the disease, and several family members are often affected. Diagnosis is usually based on a blood test and a biopsy of the intestinal tissue.

Coeliac disease cannot be cured, but by following a gluten-free diet the symptoms disappear and the small intestine can recover. It is important that patients with coeliac disease consult their doctor and dietitian regularly to ensure adequate nutrient intake and controlled management of the disease.

The French-made gluten sensitivity rapid test for home use helps in diagnosing gluten sensitivity.
