Mayo Clinic Going Gluten Free: Essential Guide to Managing Celiac Disease and Other Gluten-Related Conditions

"I learned that by changing my diet, I could cure my body." Lisa was only 42, but she says, "I felt like I was 90." She was often nauseated and bloated, and medications only made her feel worse. She'd been feeling that way for years, even seen several doctors. But nothing seemed to help. Growing weary of feeling sick, Lisa came to Mayo Clinic for help. Our doctors soon got to the bottom of the problem, and things began to turn around quickly in her life. Mayo doctors found what others had missed. Lisa had celiac disease , a reaction to the gluten in wheat, rye and barley. Wheat allergy — a separate disorder — can cause hives, skin rash, swelling of the lips and tongue, sneezing, watery eyes, difficulty breathing, and digestive symptoms. What if — like Lisa — your digestive troubles, unhealthy weight, joint pain and even mood swings were caused by some of the most common staples in the American diet? Mayo Clinic's program on celiac disease is recognized as one of the largest in the country. Our medical care is transforming the lives of individuals with gluten and wheat disorders here at the clinic.
