This web site is designed for the use of the people diagnosed with celiac disease
and those interested about the gluten sensitive diet.
The gluten sensitive intolerance includes several diseases:
- celiac children
- celiac adults also known as sprue indigena
- dermatitis herpetiformis.
Such diseases and their complications are caused by intolerance to protein contained
in wheat, rye, barley and oats, protein named
gluten. It's an auto-immune
disease, which means that the body produces antibodies that attack its own tissues.
For people with coeliac disease this attack is triggered by gluten. The only treatment
is a gluten free diet.
Our mission is to inform and facilitate exchange of information between people suffering
of it hoping the one day we will have a support group for the Romanian patients
as there are in all European countries.
