This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both irritability and gut health.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gut health is the foundation to restore ALL health. Restored health will enable you to maintain a strict gluten free diet, just as other life tasks will be easier.<\/li>\n<li>A strict gluten free diet means removing 100% of wheat, barley, rye and oats from the diet.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting out bread and other obvious sources of gluten is not good enough for recovery. Even 1\/8th teaspoon of flour or bread crumb is enough to sustain the inflammation that is damaging your small intestine, causing increased permeability (leaky gut) and allowing undigested gluten to enter your body where it can damage structures and function, and instigate immune inflammatory responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Correct Your Individual Nutritional Needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Eat foods that can replenish missing nutrients.

Pre-school children (less than 5 years) presented with different symptoms to school children (more than 5 years). The most common presenting features in younger children were diarrhea (59%),\u00a0irritability (34%) and weight loss (38%). However, in older children, abdominal pain (55%) was the most common presenting feature and diarrhea (26%).<a href=\"#footnote_7_722\" id=\"identifier_13_722\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Stone ML, Bohane TD, Whitten KE, Tobias VH, Day AS.

Researchers found that screening-identified TG antibody-positive children demonstrate mild alterations in growth and nutrition and report more symptoms than control subjects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A group of children with HLA genetic susceptibility for celiac disease were followed prospectively since birth for the development of immunoglobulin A antitissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (TG). Clinical evaluation, questionnaire, blood draw, and small bowel biopsy were performed. Growth and nutrition and frequency of positive responses were measured.\u00a0Compared with 100 age- and gender-matched TG-negative children, 18 TG-positive children 5 to 6 years of age, had a greater number of symptoms and lower z scores for weight-for-height and for body mass index. Responses that were independently associated with TG-positive status were\u00a0irritability\/lethargy, abdominal distention\/gas, and difficulty with weight gain.<a href=\"#footnote_8_722\" id=\"identifier_14_722\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Hoffenberg EJ, Emery LM, Barriga KJ, Bao F, Taylor J, Eisenbarth GS, Haas JE, Sokol RJ, Taki I, Norris JM, Rewers M.
