What does that mean for people with celiac disease?
Celiac disease is a chronic condition of the small intestine caused by an intolerance to gluten. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten-containing foods, the villi in the small intestine are damaged, digestion is impaired, and various symptoms arise, negatively impacting overall health.
Gluten intolerance means that the immune system recognizes it as an invader and produces antibodies against it. However, in its hyperactivity, the immune system not only targets gluten as the enemy but also attacks the intestinal villi, laying the groundwork for celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. If celiac disease goes unrecognized and the affected person continues to consume gluten, it can lead to numerous severe complications and, in the worst-case scenario, malignancies.
On average, more than 10 years pass from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis. According to Ružica Lah, President of the Croatian Celiac Society, there are only 3,000 to 5,000 diagnosed individuals, which accounts for only 8-10% of those affected.
Equally problematic is that the majority of diagnosed individuals lack comprehensive support for strict health diet therapy. For people with celiac disease, the intake of fiber is particularly important, making ingredients such as flax and sunflower seeds valuable additions to basic dough.
