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.
However, as screening tests become more sophisticated, weâre learning that celiac disease is surprisingly common, affecting one in every 100 people in the United States. According to a 2009 study, celiac disease touches more than four times the number of people it had in the 1950s. Researchers canât yet explain this dramatic rise in incidence. Celiac disease can begin at any time in a personâs life, and there is no consistent set of symptoms. Some people lose a tremendous amount of weight; others experience fatigue, joint pain, or seizures; and sometimes there are no symptoms at all and the disease is discovered quite by accident.
