The Municipal People's encouraged, through a motion filed in the regular full month of September to be held on Thursday 24th at the Ministry of Health adopted a decree to improve the labeling of gluten-free food and thus allow the lowering of specific foods to people with this disease.

The mayor of Health totanero Consistory, Trini Cayuela, recalled in a statement that "nearly two years ago, the government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero promised to approve a decree that would improve the labeling of gluten-free food."

As the mayor notes, "the then Health Minister Bernat Soria said the development and adoption of a decree that would regulate the mandatory labeling of food products to ensure that people with celiac disease do not contain gluten, but it has deepened it. "

From the PP, as Cayuela, "is of vital importance to the adoption of a decree for the labeling of gluten-free products that allows lower and the cost of staple food products for these patients."

So the mayor has said that "half of celiac disease affects one in 133 people and produces atrophy of the villi of the intestine that leads to poor absorption of nutrients. There is no medication to cure this disease. The only treatment is to bring Lifetime strict dietary control, the same eliminating gluten. "

In this sense, the sector council has indicated that "a family that lives a person suffering from gluten intolerance reaches monthly increase in more than 200 euros (per person with intolerance) your shopping cart with respect to a family that does not suffer celiac disease. "

Moreover, according to the Federation of Celiac, approximately 80% of processed foods in the European Union have gluten.

Foods as diverse as sausages, ice creams, yogurts, chocolates or jelly beans, may contain varying amounts of this protein.
