Gluten intolerance, which is usually presented as ans intestinal disease, appears when the body undergoes an adverse reaction to the protein gluten, which is found in wheat and related species such as rye. When people with gluten intolerance consume gluten products, they can experience stomach sores, diarrhea and othe complications that can induce malnutrition. The coeliac disease is, with cystic fibrosis, the main cause of absorption dysfunction in children.
The prevalence of gluten intolerance reaches 1% in Europe, with little variations between the different countries. The condition could affect more than 600 000 French people. Today only 1 French person on 3000 know they have this disease, but improvements in gluten intolerance detection could allow France to reach the European average.
