Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease in which a person cannot process the gluten (proteins) in wheat, rye, and barley. The villi of the small intestine end up flattened and the body cannot absorb nutrients, resulting (typically) in diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, anemia, etc. Long term effects of untreated celiac disease include stomach and bowel cancers. Certain genetic markers and antibodies confirm the presence of celiac disease.
Gluten intolerance is similar and is just now being researched more. There are bowel symptoms but the antibodies and/or genetic markers may not be present.
Hey there love. ^__^ Hmm, I don't think it applies but I recall when I did my kawaii paper-y goodness swap, it cost about $8... Which I don't mind, it just depends on my financial situation. Lol. :) Would love to do a swap, too! I'll just have to order some more stationery and stuff.
