Although there is little scientific evidence that a gluten allergy exists, celiac disease is a condition that prevents patients from being able to digest gluten. "Gluten sensitivity" is a medical condition that makes digesting gluten difficult, but no ...

Gaga also allegedly indulges on gluten-free cookies when her sweet tooth hits.

With the high concentration of fats and sugars is that not defeating her objective ?? why not eat fresh fruit if she needs a sugar rush ??

Ha David, I read this story yesterday on line, and chuckled to myself when I got to the part about the cookies. As if gluten free means magically calorie free :o If only..... B)

I laugh when people go "gluten-free" to lose weight. Because they won't get sick if they do eat gluten by accident... Not to mention, going gluten free sure it isn't a diet to lose weight if you never get glutenated and your small intestines aren't damaged. Low-carb would be a better term.

When my daughter was diagnosed, we both went gluten-free because there's only the 2 of us in the house. She has started to gain weight and my weight has not been affected one little bit by it, why would it? It's not like cutting out sugar or carbs or fats or anything, the gluten free baking has just as much sugar in it as our regular ones used to, I just substitute the type of flour, nothing else. Wow, she's an odd one.

Oh, excellent, at least someone who had some knowledge on the topic was working on the comments section over there ! Maybe my berating people for years in different venues, is having some small ripple effect ! LOL.

Hey, if Gaga wants to try it, let her, perhaps she will discover something, as there is a high percentage of people of Italian heritage with celiac. She does have the pale skin... wouldn't that be a hoot.

LOL! It sure would be a surprise if her skinny "I was born this way" body started to actually absorb more food.

and...I would KILL to eat a cheeseburger :(

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
