Celiac Disease

A couple of days ago in science my partner and I had to research the very painful and horrible Celiac disease.This disease was discovered in England in 1865 by Francis Adams. The symptoms are damage to the digestive system, it damages the small intestine, and doesn't allow food to digest properly. The only treatment for the Celiac disease is a long, life-free gluten diet. Once all of gluten is taken out of your diet you're digestive system will start working again. This disease isn't fatal as long as you are on the gluten-free diet. This disease is common all over the world. But in the U.S today there are over 2 million people that have this disease. 1 out of 133 people will get it. Men are more likely to get the disease than women are because men are more likely to consume more than a woman does. But women can still get the disease. Children can get the disease but grownups are more likely to get it. Scientists are not sure how this disease is caused but they do know how the disease effects you. This disease makes me feel upset and angry because the people that have the disease have to go through a lot and have to be on a very difficult diet. I feel grateful because I am lucky enough not to have this disease.
