> hi, is celiac disease the same as wheat gluten intolerance?
I would say they're the same thing, only celiac disease is diagnosed by microscopic examination of the intestinal wall following endoscopic biopsy. There have to be certain pathological changes in the cell structures before a *doctor* will call it celiac sprue. You don't have to have severe symptoms to be intolerant of gluten.
>I was wondering if you had a link where you got this info-I am very interested in this.
There's all sorts of info out there. Try www.gluten-free.org
One warning. There is a radical fringe in the diet world. Keep your bullshit detector operating.
