- Akron, OH (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2010 - Celiac Disease affects 1 in 133 people, and the only treatment is strict adherence to a lifelong gluten-free diet. When children or adults with this digestive disorder eat foods containing gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that damages the small intestine and does not allow the food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can cause health problems.
Gluten is a protein found in foods made with wheat, durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, rye, barley and other grains. It is often an ingredient in natural flavorings. Since most ready-made products contain traces of gluten, it is usually necessary for people with celiac disease to cook from scratch.
A gluten-free diet can be cumbersome, even at home, but failure to comply will cause serious health problems. And, until recently, it was nearly impossible for people with celiac disease to dine out.
Now, more restaurants are offering gluten-free menus. For the most complete list of restaurants in Summit County with gluten-free menus, visit www.akronsnightout.com.
Celiac Disease affects more people in the United States than Crohn's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined.
