Have Celiac Disease? Teen Changemaker Shares 5 Gluten-Free Indian Recipes #IndiaNEWS #Food
Born to Indian immigrant parents in Rochester, New York, Annika Dhariwal (17) says the early years of her childhood were spent shuttling between the United States and Chandigarh, Punjab.
Besides dealing with the instability that schooling in two different continents brought to her life, she recalls falling sick a couple of times every month, eventually receiving a diagnosis of Celiac disease at the age of nine.
“I was abnormally skinny for my age and the shortest in my class. In 2013, I was rushed to a hospital in Chandigarh after developing a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit and was misdiagnosed with Typhoid. It was only next year, when I visited my pediatrician in the US, that I was made to undergo a trans tissue glutaminase (TTG) blood test. One’s considered to have Celiac disease if their score on the test comes above 20, and mine was 179,? she says.
Often mistaken for merely being a gluten allergy, Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where consumption of the protein causes damage to the small intestine.
According to Annika, it has over 200-odd symptoms, ranging from diarrhea, abdominal pain, migraines, eczema, acne, cramps and swelling in the hands, among others.
She points out that the condition, typically resulting in malnourishment, has no known cure with the exception of following a gluten-free diet, and taking monthly blood tests to ensure that TTG levels are in sync.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) estimates that Celiac disease affects anywhere between six and eight million people in India.
