Zoey has been diagnosed with wheat, nut and egg allergy. We have cut gluten, eggs and all nuts out of her diet. Now she is always hungry and pale. She eats fruit and protein and gluten free products. Could this be celiac disease? help please
Test/ dietitian: Celiac differs some from wheat allergy by creating antibodies that attack the intestines as if they were a virus. These can be found on blood tests. Celiac is then confirmed through added tests for intestinal injury. Either way you may also need to sit down with a clinical dietitian to make sure she receives balanced nutrition in spite of your exclusions. ...Read more

Genetics; eat gluten: Celiac disease (gluten allergy) occurs in a person who may have a genetic tendency to react abnormally to gluten (a protein in wheat, barley, and rye). Something causes his immune system to over-react to gluten. Later, when he eats foods containing gluten, his immune system reacts with the intestine that is digesting the gluten, and causes intestinal damage, abnormal digestion, plus malabsorption. ...Read more

Is celiac disease hereditary? I have it, but nobody else in my family does.
Celiac is hereditary: The celiac disease genes hla-dq2 or hla-dq8 are hereditary and are in almost all celiac patients. The genetics of the remaining small fraction of patients has not been figured out yet. Two parents could each have only one dq2 or dq8 gene, and have very mild symptoms, but their child could have inherited both the dq2 and dq8 from his parents. The child then gets a full-blown case of celiac disease. ...Read more
