Prepared-Meals.com Reviews New DineWise Gluten-Free Meals

NEW YORK - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Prepared-Meals.com now includes detailed reviews for gluten-free meals from the prepared menu at DineWise. These reviews help consumers with Celiac Disease make informed decisions about products that are available on the market.

In recent years, Celiac Disease has gotten more attention in the media. This condition manifests itself like an allergy or sensitivity to gluten, an ingredient in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and oats. Because the small intestine isn't able to properly absorb gluten, inflammation can occur. When Celiac Disease goes untreated, the damage to the intestine can eventually lead to weight loss and symptoms such as bloating or diarrhea. Malnourishment from Celiac Disease can also affect other organs in the body if gone unchecked. While there is no cure for gluten sensitivities, sufferers can manage it by removing gluten from their diets.

Doctors can perform several tests for celiac disease. These include the following: IgA, IgA-tTG and IgA-EMA. After a diagnosis, a doctor will suggest a diet free of grains that contain gluten, and while this may be a big change for many patients, it helps relieve symptoms of Celiac Disease and promote overall health. Substitutions for grain allow patients to continue to enjoy versions of their favorite foods, while a balanced diet of other foods remedies malnourishment that Celiac Disease can cause.
