Can I inherit celiac disease from my parents?

Unfortunately yes, you can. Not all people who have Celiac disease inherited it. If your parents have it, you might also as it does have a genetic component.

From WebMD. Com -quote Although the exact cause of celiac disease is not known, having certain genes increases your risk. You are more likely to have these genes and may get celiac disease if you have a first-degree relative (mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter) with the condition.

-endquote Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which a person's body attacks gluten proteins as if they were foreign invaders. This renders the gluten indigestible and allows it to pass undigested from the stomach into the small intestine. In the small intestine, the indigested gluten proteins wreck havoc on the cilia there (hence the name celiac disease), gradually wearing them down.

You need cilia to be able to absorb nutrients from your food. The combination of passing indigestible wheat gluten and not getting enough nutrients from your food cause the classic, early symptoms of celiac disease which are vitamin and mineral deficiencies and loose, tan colored stools. Celiac disease can be tricky to diagnose in its early stages.It takes a while for the cilia to be worn down enough in order for a small intestine biopsy to come back positive for the disease.

The best way to tell if you have it in its early stages is to avoid eating any wheat products for a full day. If your symptoms completely subside, the chances are good that you have celiac disease and will need to avoid eating wheat gluten for the rest of your life. Good luck to you!

I hope you found this information helpful.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
