The four Americans killed in Benghazi lived and died by the same code as thousands of Americans in Afghanistan. And that code overrode loyalty to oneâs own people in favor of appeasing Muslims.
If left untreated, celiac disease could result in small intestinal cancer. Intestinal cancer is a rare form of cancer which is caused by four types of tumors: adenocarcinoma, cardinoid tumors, gastrointestinal tumors and lymphomas. If an individual with celiac disease does not eliminate gluten, the risk of small intestinal cancer increases. In fact, the risk of celiacs developing lymphomas rose 40 to 100 percent. There are many ways to screen for small intestinal cancer.
The research indicates that celiac disease is twice as common as Crohnâs disease, ulceric colitis and cystic fibrosis combined. A blood test is now available to screen for the presence of specific antibodies. A biopsy of the intestine (before beginning a gluten free diet) is needed to make a final diagnosis. Untreated celiac disease can be life threatening.
