Allergy disease facts

                 Coeliac disease facts

• Celiac disease (CD), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and wheat allergy are all conditions whose primary treatment is avoidance of specific dietary components. ... Gluten is a protein naturally found in wheat, rye and barley, as well as in hybrids and products made from these grains
• Coeliac 
•  (pronounced see-lee-ack) is a lifelong autoimmune condition which is triggered by an intolerance to gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley
• Coeliac disease is not a food allergy or an intolerance, it is an autoimmunedisease. In coeliac disease, eating gluten causes the lining of the small intestine to become damaged. Other parts of the body may be affected

                 Lactose disease facts

• Lactose intolerance is caused by not having enough of the enzyme lactase, which is needed to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk and other dairyproducts. Milk allergy is a true food allergy caused by an allergic reaction to the protein in milk
• People with a milk or dairy allergy experience symptoms because their immune system reacts as though milk and other dairy products are a dangerous invader. This reaction can cause hives, an upset stomach, vomiting, bloody stools and even anaphylactic shock — a life-threatening allergic response
• If you think that your baby may be sensitive to dairy products in your diet, remember that it can take 10 days to 3 weeks to eliminate cow's milk protein from your system—allow a full 2-3 weeks of dairy elimination before evaluating the results

               Seafood disease facts

•  Symptoms of seafood allergy. Many allergic reactions to seafood are mild and cause hives (urticaria), swelling (angioedema) and/or gut reactions (vomiting, diarrhoea). The most dangerous symptoms are breathing difficulties or collapse, caused by a drop in blood pressure (shock), either of which can be life threatening
• An allergy to shellfish may develop any time during a person's life, but tends to present in adulthood. It can be caused by foods that you've eaten before with no issues. Along with fish, shellfish allergies are the most common adult-onset food allergies
• Shellfish allergy symptoms generally develop within minutes to an hour of eating shellfish. They may include: Hives, itching or eczema (atopic dermatitis) Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body

Four ways To Wellbeing

It was really fun learning the four dimensions of well-being and especially building the Whare.We had some challenges but we faced it and did better.In the end we became victorious.

Digestive Process - The Small Intestine - The Large Intestine

The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream.

Outline the purpose of the :

• Muscular walls of the small intestine : The muscular walls move food along the peristalisis.

• Villi and Microvlli:The projections the villi and microvlli make increases the surface area of the small intestine, increasing the rate of absorption.

• The walls of Villius: To ensure the rapid absorption into the bloodstream.

• Capillary (blood vessel) Network inside the villius: To ensure the flow of nutrients and blood in your bloodstream.

The major function of the large intestine is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body.

Outline the purpose of the :

• reabsorption of water and mineral ions such as sodium and chloride

• formation and temporary storage of faeces

• maintaining a resident population of over 500 species of bacteria

• bacterial fermentation of indigestible materials

What happens to FOOD ?

• Food enters the mouth (it's called ingesting food)
• Our canine tear and rip the food into little pieces , our incisors cut the food our molars chew the food.
• Chewing the food is called (Mastification)
• Our Saliva puts Saliva into our food to  help lubricate it.
• We swallow food using our tongue and it goes down the esophagus.
