Gluten is a general name for proteins found in the cereal grains, wheat, rye and barley. The Book of Gluten describes how eating cereal grains can cause a spectrum of illness from ambiguous, relatively mild digestive symptoms to more destructive and even life-threatening disease. Celiac disease is the classic presentation of gluten allergy. Celiac disease occurs at all ages in both men and women. The prevalence of celiac disease in the general population was believed to be 1 in 300, but recent evidence suggests that there are more undiagnosed than diagnosed cases. A revised estimate of the prevalence of celiac disease in the general population is about 1%. We believe that the prevalence of gluten allergy may be closer to 20% of any symptomatic population.. Most gluten-sensitive patients have not been diagnosed. We argue that any person with celiac-like symptoms should do diet remission right away and not worry about an exact diagnosis. While the elimination of gluten from the diet is essential, we do not believe this is adequate diet revision to solve all the problems of gluten allergy. Complete diet revision using the Alpha Nutrition Program is advocated and explained. The Alpha Nutrition Program is successful in managing the delayed patterns of food allergy because gluten is eliminated along with other high-risk proteins, especially milk and eggs.
