According to a Wall Street Journal article, The Gluten-Free Craze: Is It Healthy? (6/23/2014) — over 29% of people surveyed said they are cutting back gluten consumption or avoiding it completely.
Whether a gluten-free diet is a “craze” or fad for those not diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity is debatable. Important questions for anyone eating a restrictive diet — for whatever reason, should be, “am I eating a balanced diet? Am I eating optimal amounts of protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals for my individual needs?”
These yummy snack balls are packed with protein! They’re a great thing to bring with you on trips.

A cquired ichthyosis is an uncommon, nonhereditary cutaneous disorder characterized by dry, rough skin with prominent symmetrical scaling that involves significant portions of the body.
Most microscopic studies of acquired ichthyosis exhibit hyperkeratosis (thickened skin) with a reduced or absent granular layer.1
Q: What is the granular layer of skin?
A: The granular layer is the third cell layer (of five) composing the epidermis, or outer surface of skin.
Acquired icthyosis has been associated with internal disease including malignancies, autoimmune/inflammatory, metabolic, endocrine, and infectious diseases, and medication use.
E rosions in the second part of the duodenum typically are superficial excoriations (sores) in the mucosal lining that do not penetrate into the muscle layer as does an ulcer.
Of note, most erosions develop in the first part of the duodenum rather than the second part.
Q: Are duodenal erosions serious?
A: Yes duodenal erosions are serious and can be life-threatening for the following reasons:
S mall intestinal edema is characterized by fluid accumulation within the intestinal mucosa so that the intestinal wall appears thick and swollen.
Intestinal edema hampers peristalsis that can result in pain and gas build-up. Peristalsis is the normal rhythmic muscular wave-like action that moves residue along the gastrointestinal tract.
Q: What part of the small intestinal lining is swollen?
A: Any part of the small intestine may be affected. Some causes of edema include allergic reactions, enteropathies such as celiac disease, cow milk enteropthy, yeast infection, parasite infection, inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease, and certain medications.
For example, the anti-hypertensive drugs known as Angiotension Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can cause intestinal angioedema and therefore the patient may present with gastrointestinal complaints.1

Unexplained weight gain is characterized by increased body mass due to excess fat accumulation that is not desired by the individual.
A body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 30 signifies being overweight.
P ostbulbar duodenal ulceration is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by thickening of the intestinal lining with excoriation penetrating the muscularis mucosae (muscle layer of the intestine) associated with villous atrophy.
The ulcer is well-defined. Stenosis due to thickening of the area narrows the hollow inside of the duodenum which impairs passage of foodstuffs and may lead to obstruction.
Q: Is postbulbar duodenal ulceration painful?
A: Postbulbar duodenal ulceration may not cause symptoms but usually causes gnawing pain that is relieved by eating food. After eating there develops nausea and bloating.
Complications include obstruction, bleeding, and perforation of the duodenal lining. Ulcers do not usually become malignant.
What Is Atherosclerosis?A therosclerosis is a disease of arteries involving the buildup of fatty material called plaque along the walls of medium and large arteries characterized by patchy subintimal thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of blood vessels.
The intima is the innermost layer of an artery, having contact with blood. The subintima is beneath it.
Q: What happens when arteries become narrowed and less flexible?
A: Narrowing of the inside diameter of blood vessels and hardening of their walls reduce or obstruct blood flow through them which impairs their ability to supply tissues of the body with oxygen and nourishment.
When tissues are deprived of oxygen, pain and dysfunction results such as angina pectoris involving heart muscle because the heart continually needs oxygen never being able to rest.
It is thought that atherosclerosis develops from 1) epithelial cell dysfunction of the intima, and 2) lipid (fat) accumulation in smooth muscle cells and in foam cells, causing buildup of fatty deposits on the inside walls progressing to fibrous plaque formation. That is, intimal smooth muscle cells are surrounded by connective tissue and intracellular and extracellular lipids (fat build-up inside and outside of these cells).
