In addition to age-appropriate education about how to follow a gluten-free diet, children with celiac disease also need close monitoring to make sure their growth in height and weight is appropriate for their age, the doctors argue.
|
|
Sometimes, children with celiac disease also have type 1 diabetes, another chronic autoimmune condition that results in the pancreas producing little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow blood sugar, or glucose, to enter cells and produce energy.

|
|
"Commercial oats are often grown in fields that have previously grown wheat, transported by methods of transport where other grains are transported, and frequently milled in facilities that mill other grains," said Dr. Peter Green, a professor of medicine who directs the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.
|
|
Dr. Green said there's no "gluten police" that tests food product manufacturers' gluten levels in the United States, the way the government has done in Canada, but unless a celiac disease patient experiences symptoms after consuming an oat product, his recommendation is, generally speaking, to trust the label.

"Celiac disease presentations are highly variable and should be at least considered with many different symptoms, including abdominal pain, failure to thrive/weight loss and diarrhea, constipation, anemia, canker sores, arthritis, tooth enamel defects, distinct rashes, behavioral issues, headaches, delayed puberty and infertility," Ediger told Reuters Health by email.

"We were able to confirm that there were no increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes when the woman were diagnosed with celiac disease before the reproductive event - and therefore presumably were treated with gluten free diet," said lead study author Louise Grode, a researcher at Horsens Regional Hospital in Denmark.

In a commentary published with the report in JAMA Internal Medicine September 6, Dr. Daphne Miller of the University of California, San Francisco wrote that one reason people without celiac disease may think a gluten-free diet is beneficial is because it reduces the amount of processed foods in their diet.

He and his colleagues write in the journal BMJ that about 28 percent of people in the United States have celiac disease, which is an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small intestine when the body encounters the protein gluten that is found in wheat, rye and barley.

A majority, however, said that they avoided foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, because they thought that they were allergic or overly sensitive to it, although only 13 percent had received a formal medical diagnosis of celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition, or other gluten-related disorders.

He said one in five consumers were looking to include more gluten-free options into their diet and that over 26 percent of people buying gluten-free foods do so not because of the autoimmune disorder Celiac disease, in which gluten damages the small intestine, but because they feel better doing it.

Such a sorting technique can be useful because commercial oats may contain as much as 2 percent "impurities," meaning stuff other than oats, such as dirt and rocks along with other grains, according to Dr. Joseph A. Murray, a professor of medicine who directs the celiac disease program at the Mayo Clinic.

In his practice at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute and Wexner Medical Center he performs endoscopic procedures and treats a range of illnesses including but not limited to celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux, and inflammatory bowel disease.

"We think this is very important, because this boom in gluten-free diets and all these claims that it's beneficial to an individual's health to be on a gluten-free diet are not based on science," said Dr. Peter Green, a co-author of the study and director of Columbia's Celiac Disease Center.

Update As a travel adviser selling luxury trips, Stacy Small, 73, the owner of the Los Angeles-based consultancy Elite Travel International, spends more than half the year traveling for her job, but her severe celiac allergy, diagnosed in 2001, has made life on the road challenging — at least in the past.

According to the new report, scientists have been studying the health effects of the current GE crops for decades, and so far have found no evidence to link these foods to rising rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, or celiac disease, nor is there reason to believe they cause cancer.

For night owls who can tolerate gluten, an evening out might include happy hour draft specials, dumplings or a $1 slice, none of which are easy options for those who are allergic to wheat or have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder, which means consuming gluten can result in damage to the small intestine.

"The long-suspected problem of gluten contamination in restaurant foods that has been reported by patients likely has some truth behind it," said senior study author Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl, director of clinical research at the Celiac Disease Center at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.

They include vegetarians and vegans who consume little or no animal foods; people with disorders of the stomach and small intestine like celiac disease and Crohn's disease; chronic users of proton-pump inhibitors to control acid reflux; and people whose digestive systems were surgically reduced for weight-loss or treatment for cancer or ulcerative colitis.

With a standard box including high-sodium, high-sugar, and preservative-laden items such as pasta, peanut butter, dried beans, canned meats, canned vegetables and fruit, and shelf-stable dairy products and juices, individuals with health issues, special nutritional needs, or conditions such as celiac disease and diabetes would be left with little to eat.

"We know they come from a position of love, and we love them for who they are, but it is important, especially for those who have food allergies or intolerances or sensitivities [or] an autoimmune disease, such as celiac disease, to be able to set firm boundaries around foods that will cause a reaction," Malkani said.

If you're merely sensitive to gluten, and it makes you feel a bit off, these stray bits are likely little more than a nuisance, but if you've got celiac disease, the inadvertent consumption of any amount of gluten can trigger serious intestinal damage that could have you feeling unwell for anywhere from a few days up to entire weeks.

While the health consequences of celiac disease have been well documented, other reasons a person's health might be improved by avoiding gluten include a sensitivity to gluten or something else in wheat (the major source of gluten in Western diets) and the placebo effect — a genuine benefit inspired by the belief that a chosen remedy actually works.

The more we discover that food dyes cause everything from behavioral issues to cancer, that gluten intolerance issues such as autoimmune illness celiac is caused by the glyphosate pesticide (aka Roundup) added to our crops and that the BPA and other chemicals used to line cans, bottles and boxes can ravage our endocrine systems, the more we demand food that is safe, not perilous, to eat.

For the gluten-sensitive Our picks: Garden grilled salad with Tendergrill chicken and without croutons and with Lite honey balsamic dressing; or Whopper Jr. without bun Burger King cautions that although some of its foods may be free of gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley, rye and oats, they are not intended for those with celiac disease, due to the risk of contamination.

For the gluten-sensitive Our picks: Apple pecan chicken salad (half-size); or grilled chicken sandwich as a lettuce wrap (without bun) and garden side salad without croutons and with light balsamic vinaigrette dressing Like with other chains, there is the chance of cross-contamination among non-gluten-containing foods at Wendy's, so it's not necessarily a favored option for those with celiac disease.

On a given night, we face middle schoolers arriving home dragging dead cicada wings stuck on their shoes, announcing starvation; high schoolers, who may or may not have a boyfriend with celiac disease in tow; and a bevy of tutors, employed to prevent these modern children from failing subjects for which they have no particular aptitude, and who also seem to arrive with appetites.
