Gliadin intolerance of wheat, barley and rye – all of which contain prolamins. Gliadin proteins have the ability to provoke an autoimmune enteropathy caused by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals. Specific amino acid sequences within the gliadin proteins are responsible for this activity. The main problems with this disease is that it often goes unrecognized for many years, in which it can cause serious damage to several organs, and most cases currently remain unrecognized, undiagnosed and untreated.
