Welcome to your About.com Women's Health newsletter. This week we discus celiac disease and the related conditions of iron deficiency anemia and osteoporosis. Have a healthy week! Tracee

What Is Celiac Disease?
You may have heard of the gluten-free diet and wondered what it was all about. The gluten-free diet is required for your lifetime, as it is the only treatment for celiac disease. Gluten is a protein that occurs in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten occurs in foods; however, it can also occur in lip balms, medicines, and vitamins, as well as in other common products. If you do not follow the gluten-free diet, you may be putting yourself at risk for osteoporosis, anemia, and cancer.

Diagnosis Of Celiac Disease
The most difficult part of diagnosing celiac disease is determining exactly what is causing the symptoms you may experience. This is because the symptoms of celiac disease often mimic those of other conditions.

What Is Anemia?
Anemia occurs when you don't have enough circulating red blood cells. If you have had lab work done, you have probably had a complete blood count (CBC). If your doctor says that your hemoglobin or hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in your blood) are low, you may have anemia.

Osteoporosis Risk, Prevention, and Treatments
Osteoporosis affects more than 25 million Americans -- mostly women past menopause. Approximately 1.2 million bone fractures each year in the US are related to osteoporosis. The National Osteoporsis Foundation says that one in two women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime.

How To Manage Stress



From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
As regular readers know, I'm a huge proponent for finding the benefits that lie within stressful experiences, and for good reason: looking for the silver lining can not only make us feel better and less stressed, it can lead to greater resilience. This newsletter brings interesting research that backs up these ideas, and shows you how to have a good day--now and for many days to come.

Finding The Bright Side Can Equal Greater Resilience
Read about some research that at once affirms that finding the bright side can help you stave off depression (thereby promoting resilience), and provides two enjoyable routes that can get you there. You'll also find several resources to help you find your way.

Positive Emotions Can Lead To A More Satisfying Life
Here's another study that shows the surprising strength of the little things that lift your mood, with resources on how to do that for yourself. You can share your own best tips as well.

Quiz: Are You An Optimist or a Pessimist?
Optimists share certain traits, but they're subtle, and may not be the traits you expect. This quiz evaluates your way of explaining the events of life, can let you know how optimistic or pessimistic your thinking is, and supplies resources to help.
