‘Gluten’

Ulcers Treatment

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Following a diet free of gluten (wheat flour) in two weeks there is an improvement of symptoms in most cases. If no improvement may be that the diet is not suitable or because complications occur lymphoma. In asymptomatic individuals the diet is made also because the disease tends to worsen if nothing is done and because the incidence of lymphomas and adenocarcinomas increases seem to match these tumors increased with the degree of intestinal inflammation. Therefore it is not clear that individuals with positive serology but no intestinal inflammation should take this diet.

Parallel to diarrhea diseases chronic intolerance to gluten. Not always associated with the intestinal disorder.
