A booklet of recipes
for those with
celiac disease
Celiac disease
If a person has celiac disease s/he must not eat wheat, rye
or barley, or any product consisting those grains, because
the gluten these grains consist causes inflammation in the
person’s small intestine and damages its microvilli.
These grains must be replaced by rice, corn, millet,
buckwheat and oat, or special products from which gluten
has been removed
About 2 % of Finnish people have celiac disease (100,
000 people)
Gluten sensitivity means that there are people who get
symptoms when they eat gluten even if they don’t have
the actual celiac disease.
