I grew up like any other normal teenager. I enjoyed going to pizza parties, eating out at fast food restaurants, eating cake and cookies, and having spaghetti dinners at my grandmother’s house. When I was 14 years old my father deployed to Kuwait with the military. I felt stressed, upset and worried all the time because my father, my best friend, was gone and knowing he wouldn’t be around made me physically sick. I would eat, and immediately after eating, I would start to have physical and medical problems.…
Gluten makes these foods stick together; it gives them substance and helps them to maintain their shape (Celiac Disease Foundation). Those with Celiac disease have immune systems that create antibodies to attack this gluten protein. As a result, the intestines are inflamed and the villi that line the intestines are damaged. Villi are very important to absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract. This includes fats,…
Digestive System Crohn's Disease Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is made up of two conditions: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn’s disease is an acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It mainly affects the terminal ileum, which is located at the very end of the small intestine, but also can affect the proximal colon, which is located at the beginning of the large intestine. The entire gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to anus are involved with this disease. “The disease occurs frequently among children, adolescents, and young adults, but is increasing in people over the age of 60.…

Tracy McCuiston Johnson Dr Scott Pathophysiology 15 March 2017 Crohn’s Disease ABSTRACT Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract that progresses to lesions.. The etiology of Crohn’s disease is not known but it is thought that a combination of environmental and genetic factors are the cause. Researchers have found several defective genes involved in the relationship between the innate immune system and the microbiome of the gut (Hart 229). The disease can manifest anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract between the mouth and the anus but is most often found in the ileum of the small intestine.…

The damage to the small intestine also makes it hard for your body to absorb vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. This is because the villi is affected. The villi is affected due to the immune system mistakes a part of the body as an invader and the infection- fighting white blood cells begin attacking the lining of your small intestine. Due to an epithelial cell stress caused by gluten protein entering the small intestine, which then leads to increased expression of the IL-15, HLA-E, AND MIC antigens/cytokines. This increased expression causes and increase in the susceptibility of the CTL attack.…
The immune system is a pattern of automatic defense mechanism by the body to defend itself against pathogenic micro organisms. The immune system works with the help of antibodies that engulf pathogens of foreign cells within the body. This can cause wounds on the inner walls of the intestine causing inflammation. The wounds in the small intestine may spread with time due to actions of digestive enzymes and acids in the digestive tract. This can lead to permanent and persistent damage to the small intestines causing Krohn's disease (Klein, Griga, Folwaczny & Epplen,…

Understanding Celiac Disease in Adults Ilka Perkins-Hagen East Central College Understanding Celiac Disease in Adults Celiac Disease (CD), also called Gluten Enteropathy is an immune-mediated systemic condition triggered by dietary gluten occurring in genetically predisposed individuals. The treatment for CD includes avoiding gluten in the diet, which shows considerable health benefits. Celiac disease is also known as Sprue, Gluten-enteropathy, or Celiac sprue. Celiac disease damages the villi of the small intestine and affects the absorption of nutrients from food.…
The article is about Mesenteric Lymphadenitis it’s an inflammation of lymph nodes. The lymph nodes that become inflamed are in a membrane that attached the intestine to the abdominal wall. Lymph nodes are among the hundreds that help our body to fight the disease. They trap and destroy microscopically invaders like a virus, bacteria, fungus, and protozoa. Mesenteric lymphadenitis disease often causes abdominal pain.…
The villi of the small intestine are damaged. After they are damaged, they are unable to absorb nutrients, leading to malnourishment. If left untreated Celiac disease can lead to further complications such as other autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cancer.…
Current research at Case Western Reserve University has identified uncontrolled vitamin A as a harmful participant in causing the disease; further evidence on effect of diet on the development of CD. This research identified a protein called ISX which balances the metabolism of vitamin A, and which when an organism lacks it, causes inflammation of the gut in those with beta-carotene rich diets. This is because ISX affects the activation of the genes which controls the pathway between the absorption and distribution of vitamin A, and thus when it’s gone, the gene is always off; thus, encouraging immune cells within the gut to “overreact” to the…
Gluten is a product found in wheat, rye and many grains. It is what helps bread have the chewy texture and the strength to stay in one piece. Gluten is very common in many foods, but for some people eating gluten can cause a sensitive stomach, making it hard for these nutrients to be absorbed the right way. A gluten free diet is for the people who do not have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that can occur when the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine, but want to flush out their immune system. The diet consists of taking the same precautions as a person with celiac would except for the fact that the person doing the diet will not experience symptoms as severe (Nagle 2015).…
There are better ways to living to 100. Most experts say that it is a must to change everything about what diet you have. While some say it does not matter what you eat as long as you try to keep working out. Doing Just working out does not help if there is not a proper diet, but if there is proper diet does not mean one does not have to work out which is essential for health.…
