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.

It found the high incidence of abortion, of low birth weight babies, and of\u00a0short\u00a0breast-feeding\u00a0periods is effectively corrected by gluten-free diet in women with\u00a0celiac disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the case-control study, comparison of 94 untreated with 31 treated\u00a0celiac\u00a0women indicated that the relative risk of abortion was 8.90 times higher the relative risk of low birth weight baby was 5.84 times higher, and\u00a0duration\u00a0of\u00a0breast feeding\u00a0was 2.54 times shorter in untreated mothers. Abortion, low birth weight of baby, and\u00a0duration\u00a0of\u00a0breast feeding\u00a0did not significantly relate to the severity of\u00a0celiac disease\u00a0among untreated women. In the before-after study, 12 pregnant\u00a0celiac\u00a0women in either treated or untreated condition were compared. Results indicated that the gluten-free diet reduced the relative risk of abortion by 9.18 times reduced the number of low birth weight babies from 29.4% down to zero, and increased\u00a0duration\u00a0of breast feeding\u00a02.38 times.<a href=\"#footnote_5_886\" id=\"identifier_19_886\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Ciacci C, Cirillo M, Auriemma G, Di Dato G, Sabbatini F, Mazzacca G.
