Intolerance lepku a její dopad na lidský organismus

Bachelor thesis The Gluten Intolerance and Its Influence on Human Body focuses on the problem of celiac disease. It is an autoimmune disorder which is caused by gluten and its storage proteins. Gluten is responsible for the damage of the small intestine in people who are genetically predisposed to the celiac disease. The damaged intestine cannot fully absorb the nutrients, which induces the malabsorption syndrome in the body and leads to hypovitaminosis. New findings in the research of celiac disease show the connection of celiac disease with disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, depression, etc. The health conditions of the patients with these disorders, as well as with the celiac disease, can be significantly improved when the patient follows a gluten-free diet, which is the only freely available treatment so far. However, there should be new methods of treatment available in the next few years. The new methods of treatment would include enzyme supplements, the injections of larazotide acetate, suitable probiotic preparations and also cereals that would contain less toxic peptide components of gluten
