What Is Celiac Disease?

Celiac Disease is a very serious autoimmune disease. This disease happens to people who are genetically predisposed. When people with this condition eat gluten, damage to their small intestine occurs. About one in a 100 people world wide are living with this disease. There are about two and one half million people are undiagnosed, and are at risk for having long-term health complications. 


What is Gluten? 

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. 


What They Do To The Body

They attack the small intestine, more specifically the area known as, the villi. This is small fingerlike projections that line the small intestine and promote nutrient absorption. When the villi becomes damage, nutrients do not get properly absorbed in the body.

The short answer to this question is yes. This disease can be passed on by a parent or sibling that have the disease.

Part 1: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Don’t be surprised if you hear, “I have that too."

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is a very common, and miss diagnosed condition, among women between the ages of 20-40.  And can cause infertility with polycystic ovaries. The statics vary as to how many women have PCOS because the criteria for the condition is always changing. But here is what I found under The National Institutes Of Health. One in every 10-15 women gets diagnosed with PCOS. I also heard that about 50% of women do not know they have PCOS. Via, pcosdiva.com I also found on the site, rightdiagnoisis.com that about 50% of women are insulin resistant. The typical age bracket for being insulin resistant is about 20-40 years of age.  And about only 30% have symptoms of PCOS.

THE ABLER RETURNS BY WELCOMING AMY BETH OUTLAND AUTHOR OF HER LATEST RELEASE ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES-OUR NEWEST BOOK REVIEW WITH AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

Introduction: Hello Everyone! We’re officially back from our summer hiatus! I am thrilled to announce that we’re back with an all-new book review! It’s a fiction young adult novel by a prolific writer, Amy Beth Outland. The book is called, “Roll With The Punches.” “Roll With The Punches” Is the latest book in Ms. Outland’s series entitled, “ I’m Not Broken Series.” I met Amy online through a mutual friend.
