Celiac disease is being diagnosed more frequently, as people recognize their digestive issues may be linked to gluten intake and sensitivity to various foods that include gluten. Here, Naheed Ali reviews the biology of celiac disease, its symptoms, causes, and outcomes, and information about treatment, prevention, and living well with celiac.

As the market for gluten free foods continues to grow and change, many people are turning to a gluten free lifestyle for a number of reasons. Some people, however, are diagnosed with celiac disease, which is more than just a gluten sensitivity. For people with celiac disease, eating is often uncomfortable and sometimes painful; children with the disease often experience difficulties gaining weight.

Understanding Celiac Disease explores the underlying causes, explains the biology, details the methods for diagnosis, and describes the symptoms and potential treatments. In easy to understand language, Dr. Naheed Ali helps demystify the subject for those who suffer, those who suspect they might suffer, and those who help care for those diagnosed with celiac disease.

Naheed Ali, MD, is the author of The Obesity Reality (Rowman & Littlefield, 2012), Understanding Alzheimer’s (Rowman & Littlefield, 2012), Arthritis and You (Rowman & Littlefield, 2013), Understanding Parkinson’s (Rowman & Littlefield, 2013), and Understanding Lung Cancer (Rowman & Littlefield, 2014). He has appeared as a special guest on numerous talk shows and has been quoted in many national print magazines and TV websites across the United States, including Woman’s World, Prevention, Whole Living, MSN.com, USAToday.com, and others.
