    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    Is a gluten-free diet important for your lifestyle? If you have a food allergy or the autoimmune disorder known as celiac disease, it may be important for you to take charge of your life and begin a new food regimen.

    About 1 in 133 people suffer from celiac disease, and health organizations say 2 percent to 2.5 percent of the general population suffer from food allergy — or between 6 million and 7 million Americans. The difference between food allergy and celiac disease is that the latter, also known as celiac sprue, is an autoimmune disorder, like diabetes.

    Unlike other autoimmune diseases, however, physicians know the trigger for celiac disease: gluten, which provokes an immune response that causes the body to attack itself.

    Celiac disease is an intestinal disorder caused by the intolerance of some individuals to gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, barley, and some other grains. Gluten irritates the intestinal lining, interfering with the absorption of nutrients and water. Unlike certain food allergies, celiac disease is not grown out of, and those with the disease must maintain constant vigilance to keep their diet gluten-free. Untreated, the disease can lead to severe complications and potential long-term illness. The disease is permanent, and damage to the small intestine will occur every time gluten is consumed, regardless of whether symptoms are present. Reactions among people who suffer from this disease vary, but they are inevitable. The only treatment is strict adherence to a 100 percent gluten-free diet.

    Maintaining a healthy gluten-free lifestyle involves eating a well-balanced, gluten-free diet that is high protein and normal in fats. Common nutrient shortages among people with celiac disease include deficiencies in calcium; the vitamin B complex; and vitamins A, C, D, K, and E. It is important for the celiac to eat a carefully balanced diet to ensure that he or she
