TEEN HEALTH
Our doctors answer
your questions.

JANET: Ever since I was a child, I’ve suffered from an upset stomach and
headaches. I’ve seen several doctors over the years, but none of them found
the cause of the problem. And the symptoms got worse! Then, last month,
I was tested for celiac disease - and finally, the mystery was solved! If I had
only known about it earlier, I would have avoided years of pain! Why did it take
so long to diagnose me correctly? And how do I live with this disease?
DR MIKE: About one in every 100 people in the world has celiac disease,
but it can take years to diagnose it. This is because the symptoms of celiac
disease are similar to those of many other diseases, especially wheat
allergies and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).
Gluten is a protein. It’s found in grains like wheat, rye and barley – the main
ingredients in most breads, pastas and cereals. If you have celiac disease,
any gluten you eat will damage the small intestine in your stomach. This
stops your body from getting important vitamins and minerals from your
food.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for celiac disease. Your health won’t improve
unless you make the change to a 100% gluten-free diet. Here’s my advice:
• Meet with a dietician and learn which foods you can and can’t eat. Bread
made from rice, potato or quinoa flour is safe to eat, for example. Find tasty
gluten-free recipes to prepare on the Celiac Disease Foundation website.
• Before you buy food products, read the list of ingredients carefully. Some
“wheat-free” foods can contain other grains with gluten in them.
• Gluten-free foods often come into contact with foods containing gluten.
Small pieces of wheat toast can easily get into butter or jam jars – and into
your stomach! So be careful.
• Join a support group for teens with celiac. They will be happy to share ex-
periences and tips. If I were you, I’d ask them where to find the best gluten-
free pizza!
Good luck!

JANET: Desde que era niña he sufrido malestar estomacal y dolores de cabeza. He visitado a varios

médicos a lo largo de los años, pero ninguno encontró la causa del problema. ¡Y los síntomas

empeoraron! Luego, el mes pasado,

Me hicieron la prueba de la enfermedad celíaca y, finalmente, ¡el misterio quedó resuelto! ¡Si lo hubiera

sabido antes, habría evitado años de dolor! ¿Por qué tardó tanto en diagnosticarme correctamente? ¿Y có-

mo vivo con esta enfermedad?

DR MIKE: Aproximadamente una de cada 100 personas en el mundo tiene enfermedad celíaca, pero pue-

de llevar años diagnosticarla. Esto se debe a que los síntomas de la enfermedad celíaca son similares a los

de muchas otras enfermedades, especialmente las alergias al trigo y la sensibilidad al gluten no celíaca

(SGNC).

El gluten es una proteína. Se encuentra en cereales como el trigo, el centeno y la cebada, los ingredientes

principales de la mayoría de los panes, pastas y cereales. Si tiene enfermedad celíaca, cualquier gluten

que ingiera dañará el intestino delgado en su estómago. Esto impide que su cuerpo obtenga vitaminas y

minerales importantes de los alimentos.

Desafortunadamente, no existe cura para la enfermedad celíaca. Su salud no mejorará a menos que realice

el cambio a una dieta 100% libre de gluten. Este es mi consejo:

• Reúnase con un dietista y aprenda qué alimentos puede y no puede comer. El pan elaborado con harina

de arroz, patata o quinua es seguro para comer, por ejemplo. Encuentre deliciosas recetas sin gluten para

preparar en el sitio web de la Celiac Disease Foundation.

• Antes de comprar productos alimenticios, lea atentamente la lista de ingredientes. Algunos alimentos

"sin trigo" pueden contener otros cereales con gluten.

• Los alimentos sin gluten a menudo entran en contacto con alimentos que contienen gluten. Pequeños

trozos de tostada de trigo pueden meterse fácilmente en los frascos de mantequilla o mermelada, ¡y en el

estómago! Así que ten cuidado.

• Únase a un grupo de apoyo para adolescentes celíacos. Estarán encantados de compartir experiencias y

consejos. ¡Si yo fuera tú, les preguntaría dónde encontrar la mejor pizza sin gluten!
