Introduction
Celiac disease (CD)
Celiac disease is one of the most common lifelong disorders, about 1% of the world population. It is a genetically inflammation response autoimmune symptom that is caused by the consumption of proline-rich and glutamine-rich proteins grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, etc. Ingestion of gluten in CD can cause the continuous impairment to the mucus in the intestine that is able to lead to malabsorption, diarrhea, abdominal distension and adsorption disorder, in the end, lose weights and malnutrition. The only one safe and effective treatmeny for the CD patient is strictly control the diet by consuming only gluten-free product (1,14).
From many recent study, the need of enhancement the nutritional quality of gluten-free products still play a very important role in the replacement of cereal products which are not edible for people that have Celiac disease. Pseudocereals, which are cereal-like products, have been improved for many years and attracted many scientists because of their highly nutritional compositions. Despite amaranth has been applied to many process food products such as bread and pasta. However, the commercialization of pseudocereal products is still limited and need more development to be the alternative choice for consumer. (1)
Amaranth
Amaranth, little-known crop originated from Central America (6), is a pseudocereal and being grown for its seeds and its leaves as a highly nutritious plant since the ancient time as early as 7000 years ago in the Central and South America by the Aztecs, the Incas, and the Mayas to be an important source of proteins and vitamins (2). However, due to ritual used by Aztecs, there were prohibited after the conquest by Spain in the 16th centur...

...h is monocotyledonous. Its seeds that are ranging from pale white to brown are small (1.0-1.5 mm average diameter and weight about 0.6 to 1.2 mg) and lenticular in shape. Nevertheless, it has astonishing nutritional characteristics. To illustrate, high quality protein content with all essential amino acids (5) especially lysine, tryptophan and other sulfur amino acids (5, 7) comparing with other cereals and it does not contain or contain very low amount of prolamine and gluteline or gluten. Furthermore, amaranth seeds also contain high level of vitamins such as vitamins A, B complex and E, Minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc and etc. (5, 8, 9), high dietary fibers and high content of antioxidants and free radical scavengers such as tocopherols, trocotrienols and squalene which is as expensive terpenoid compound, mainly come from shark and whale liver oils (8, 13).
hypertension for the infant later in life. Breastfeeding delays the onset of hereditary allergic disease, and lowers the risk of developing allergic disease. Breastfeeding helps the baby’s immune system mature, protecting the baby in the meantime from viral, bacteria, and parasitic infections. Breastfeeding protects against developing chronic diseases such as: celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and childhood cancers.

violent allergic reaction that occurs thought the body causing nausea, vomiting, swelling, chest pain, choking and collapse. "Another painful allergic reaction is called Celiac Disease. This reaction is caused by a chronic adverse reaction to gluten, a protein found in grain, wheat and corn. Children who have this disease, are sickly, have chronic diarrhea and fail to grow properly until all gluten containing products are taken out of the child's diet" (Edelson, 49).

Celiac Disease: A Real Autoimmune Disease Celiac Disease. It is a bit of a buzz word, with many people believing this disease to be a joke. The celebrities are participating in a fad, that gluten-free diet, it must be so healthy for them and that must be why people with “celiac disease” are eating it too. Except they are not. Celiac Disease, or CD, is a disease that affect the small intestinal mucosa due to inflammation. The inflammation is due to the body attacking itself in the presence of gluten
ago whenever my father was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Celiac disease is a chronic disease which usually attacks the proximal parts of the small intestine, which is caused by an inadequate immune reaction in contact with gluten in genetically predisposed persons (Osmancevic, 2011, p134). Celiac’s disease is when your body can’t digest any food that contains gluten, which is a protein that is found in wheat plants and used in flour products. Celiac disease is one of the most common lifelong disorders
Imagine having a life threatening disease and not even knowing it. This was the case for me. I was brought up eating healthy wheat bread and grains. Much to my surprise I would learn it was actually hurting my health. I have always had “stomach issues” and being lactose intolerant, I blamed it on that. I never thought it could be something else. Last year I learned I was anemic; soon I was lying in the hospital with a blood transfusion and wondering why. I ate extremely healthy foods and was sure
Gluten-Free Food There is an estimate of 3 million people in the United States that have celiac disease (CD). Individuals with CD, any foods that contain gluten trigger the production of antibodies that attack and damage the lining of the small intestine; thus, limiting nutrient absorption (U.S. FDA, 2013). On August 2, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule that defines “gluten-free” for food labeling. “The FDA’s new ‘gluten-free’ definition will help people with
The field of research for celiac disease is still ever growing and changing. The field is trying to decipher what triggers this and how the conditions can be investigated further (Pietzak). People who have Celiac Disease are sometimes even at a higher risk for other diseases (Pietzak). From this research, individuals who do the gluten-free diet for weight loss may affect their body in an unhealthy way
