Celiac Disease Fundamentals 

A Maverick's Challenge to What's Out There 

CELIAC DISEASE EXPOSED

Connecting the elements of the website


First came the book about celiac disease:


  •  An Unlikely Foe: CELIAC DISEASE EXPOSED is a book built on fundamental information about celiac disease. Indeed, like the author, you would likely not recognize celiac disease or understand what it is.

 

Later came the author's idea of a new model of celiac disease as a part of a larger gluten-driven process:


  • After the book was written, "I noticed something that changes the basic premise of celiac disease. This observation not to be revealed at this time is key to seeing celiac disease in a new light. The above book is prerequisite background and with this one key new twist leads to the visual scheme or map representing The Gluten Tree, A New Model of Celiac Disease." Nancy J Lyons

​The Gluten Tree

by Nancy J. Lyons, Ph.D.


THE PUZZLE FINALLY FITS

A pioneering perspective: The Gluten Tree connects the gluten spectrum and proposes a link. How to tell if the gluten-free diet may be right for you even if you don't have celiac disease.


The Gluten Tree schematizes a new way of thinking about celiac disease and builds upon the fundamental information presented in the book below,  An Unlikely Foe: CELIAC DISEASE EXPOSED.

Celiac Disease is Re-examined

Celiac Disease is Reframed

A New Model of Celiac Disease

The Focus is Gluten

Celiac disease is defined by interpretations like these; however,


  • Does gluten attack the intestine?
  • Does gluten damage the intestine?
  • Is celiac disease an aberrant response to gluten caused by a defective immune system?
  • Is celiac disease an autoimmune disease?


Perhaps not.
