Much has been written about gluten free diets, but why? It may be that many people in the general population are beginning to appreciate a long ignored disease called celiac sprue, or as it is more generally known, celiac disease. This illness is characterized by an intolerance to gluten, a component of wheat, rye, and barley. Celiac sprue is characterized by an inability to absorb gluten, resulting in chronic diarrhea. Its presence in children is one of many responses leading to a failure to thrive, i.e., they exhibit an abnormally slow growth rate.
A physician or otherwise skilled healthcare provider will not jump to the conclusion of celiac sprue without considering all possible causes. Such a list is called a differential diagnosis. This book will go into detailed explanations of these illnesses in addition to celiac sprue in order to provide a thorough evaluation of chronic diarrhea. A number of these other possibilities are included as chapters.
Included are the following Wikipedia articles, formatted for the Kindle. Included are diseases which have symptoms similar to celiac disease.
1. Celiac Disease (celiac sprue)
2. Gluten-free diet, the primary method of treating celiac disease
3. Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), presents with symptoms similar to celiac disease, as do those in the following chapters
4. Crohn’s Disease
5. Whipple’s Disease
6. Tropical Sprue
7. Hypergammaglobulinemia
8. Pancreatic Disease
