Celiac Disease (intolerance to gluten)
Celiac disease is caused by intolerance to gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley and oat. Gluten will trigger the immune system in certain individuals and will lead to flattening of the villi in the intestine, preventing any nutrients to be absorbed, leading to loss of weight and serious deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals as well as protein, carbohydrates and fats.
15 High Risk Groups Prone to Celiac Disease
All chronic, severe headache sufferers not responding to conventional therapies, especially when associated with dizziness or imbalance.
