Solution

1. Persons with Celiac disease require a diet that is lacking in most grains? Name the water insoluble protein the causes the destruction of the intestinal lining. Also, name 2 grains that are acceptable in the diet of a patient with celiac disease.

Gliadin is the water insoluble protein & alcohol-soluble protein of the prolamin that causes the destruction of the intestinal lining finally elicitation of enteropathic hypersensitivity reaction with celiac disease. On the other hand, glutenin also causes the destruction of the intestinal lining & it is mainly available in wheat, barley and rye.

2 grains that are acceptable in the diet of a patient with celiac disease ----> maize grains, millet, buckwheat grains& soyabean

Celiac disease is an immune disorder, which causes hyper-responsiveness to the wheat gluten proteins, and protein fraction in barley and rye. In ciliac disease patients the intestinal villi become shorten in affected areas. The patients generally suffer from malabsorption of macronutrients, calcium, fat soluble vitamins, iron, and vitamin B-12. Lactose, excessive fat, corn, rice, and millet do not cause immune reaction in patients with celiac disease.

Gluten is a protein present in carbohydrate rich foods like all grains. Eating gluten in limited amounts do not cause weight gain, and gluten-free diet is not a solution for weight loss. Gluten is contraindicated only in elder people suffering from celiac disease.
