GlutenTox Home Gluten Test Kit
Celiac disease is a disorder which damages the small intestine causing the atrophy of the intestinal villi and intervenes with the absorption of nutrients such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, mineral salts and vitamins. This disease is caused by an inappropriate response of the immune system to gluten (a mix of proteins found in cereals) from wheat, barley, rye, and to a lesser extent, from oat.
Nowadays, the only treatment for celiac disease sufferers is a lifelong gluten-free diet, which is not always straight forward because gluten, in addition of being present in many types of food, can also be present in food additives and preservatives.
According to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, food can be considered as “gluten-free” if the amount of gluten does not exceed 20 parts per million.
