Extractions: Subscribe now >> As a result of their recent study, published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology in October, a group of Medical College of Wisconsin researchers are recommending that children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) be tested for celiac disease (CD). In their report on young patients with diabetes, P.C. Lee, PhD, Elaine Parton, RN, CPNP, Steven Werlin, MD and David T. Wyatt, MD concluded that the incidence of celiac disease among American children with IDDM is likely higher than previously thought. The researchers tested diabetic patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for signs and symptoms of celiac disease and found that at least 4.6% of the children who participated in the study suffered from CD, while even more had indicators that could be early signs of the disease. (Atiye N. Aktay, MD, currently practicing in Turkey, and Vijay Kumar, PhD, of the State University of New York, were also members of the research team.) Celiac disease is a genetic digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have CD cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When they do eat gluten-containing foods, their immune system responds and damages the lining of the small intestine. The damaged areas cant absorb nutrients properly, and CD sufferers become malnourished no matter how much they eat.

Extractions: What is Celiac Disease? Celiac disease (CD) is a genetic disorder. In people with CD, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This, in turn, causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications. The offending protein, gluten, is found in wheat, barley, rye, and to a lesser extent, oats (WBRO). Related proteins are found in triticale, spelt, kamut. Refer to grains and flours for a more extensive list of both safe and offending grains. Celiac Disease is: a genetic, inheritable disease. linked to genetically transmitted histocompatibility cell antigens (HLA DR3-DQ2, DR5/7 DQ2, and DR4-DQ8). COMMON. Approximately 1 in 133 people have CD, however, only about 3% of these have been diagnosed. This means that there are over 2.1 million undiagnosed people with celiac disease in the United States.

Celiac Disease
People who have celiac disease have a disorder that makes their bodies react to gluten, a type of protein that is found in many foods.

Extractions: Birthday cake. Pizza. Chocolate chip cookies. For people with celiac disease, a lifelong disorder of the digestive system, these foods aren't always the treats that most people think they are. Why? Because they usually contain a type of protein called gluten, which causes problems for people with celiac disease. What Is Gluten? The digestive system is the set of organs that digest food and absorb the important nutrients the body needs to stay healthy and grow. One important part of the digestive system is the small intestine, which is lined with millions of microscopic, finger-like projections called villi (pronounced: vih -lye). Nutrients are absorbed into the body through the villi. People who have celiac (pronounced: see -lee-ak) disease have a disorder that makes their bodies react to gluten. When these people eat gluten, an immune system reaction to the protein gradually damages the villi in the small intestine. When the villi are damaged, the body is unable to absorb the

Extractions: Have you ever eaten gluten? No, not glue - gluten! If you've ever eaten a piece of bread, a slice of pizza, or a bowl of cereal, chances are you have. Gluten (say: gloo -tin) is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley - grains that are in many everyday foods. Most people can eat food containing gluten with no trouble. But for some people, eating gluten can cause a reaction in their bodies. Someone who has this problem has celiac (say: see -lee-ak) disease. After you eat food, it goes to your stomach, which is part of a group of organs that make up your digestive system . An important part of the digestive system is the small intestine, which is lined with villi (say: vih -lie). Villi are usually described as microscopic, finger-like projections. Weird, huh? Fingers in your intestines! But don't forget that they're microscopic, meaning they are extremely small - so small you can't see them without a microscope . The villi are important because they absorb nutrients into the body. For someone with celiac disease, eating gluten - in a piece of bread, for instance - causes an immune system reaction. Your immune system ordinarily keeps you from getting sick, but in someone with celiac disease, the body starts damaging and destroying the villi. Without villi, a person's body can't absorb vitamins and nutrients from food. Without enough nutrients, a kid's body has a tough time staying healthy and growing properly. Even if the person is eating a lot, he or she might still lose weight and might develop

http://www.celiac.ca/eceliac.html

Extractions: customerservice@celiac.ca Definition Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment ... Frequently Asked Questions Celiac Disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for good health. Although statistics are not readily available, it is estimated that 1 in 133 persons in Canada are affected by Celiac Disease. A wide range of symptoms may be present. Symptoms may appear together or singularly in children or adults. In general, the symptoms of untreated Celiac Disease indicate the presence of malabsorption due to the damaged small intestine. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, triticale, barley, and oats. In the case of wheat, gliadin has been isolated as the toxic fraction. It is the gluten in the flour that helps bread and other baked goods bind and prevents crumbling. This feature has made gluten widely used in the production of many processed and packaged foods.

Extractions: and sugar reduced desserts. Gluten intolerance, also known as Celiac disease, affects as many as one in 300 people. It is a debilitating condition that can lead to weight loss, malnutrition, and more serious ailments. Close to two and a half million people in North America have this condition, many of them yet to be diagnosed. Those with gluten intolerance must go on a life-long diet that avoids all gluten. Many of our products are lactose-free, egg-free, sugar free or sugar reduced. Customers say they often serve our foods to friends and family even when they are not on special diets. Many who have no diet restrictions at all come back week after week for the taste. We offer alternatives for those whose diet demands gluten-free ingredients, and a pleasant taste sensation for those who want to try the unique flavour that comes from using our secret blend of flours and all-natural ingredients in our baked goods. We saw a need for gluten-free desserts because almost all regular commercial baked goods contain gluten, and ingredients containing it are not always listed on the label. There are many hidden sources of gluten found in the ingredients of many processed foods, not just baked goods. Gluten is a cohesive, elastic protein that is left behind after starch is washed away from certain flour doughs.

Celiac disease affects as many as 1 of 300 people in Italy and southwestern Ireland, yet it is extremely rare in Africa, Japan, and China. There is a genetic component; about 10% of people with celiac disease have a close relative with the disease. In this disease, gluten, a protein found in wheat and, to a lesser extent, barley, rye, and oats, is believed to stimulate the production of certain antibodies. These antibodies damage the inner lining of the small intestine, resulting in flattening of the villi. The resulting smooth surface leads to malabsorption of nutrients. However, the small intestine's normal brushlike surface and function are restored when the person stops eating foods containing gluten.
Celiac Disease And Down Syndrome
Discussion of celiac disease and how it affects children with Down Syndrome, by Len Leshin, MD, FAAP.
http://www.ds-health.com/celiac.htm

Extractions: Jan 2005 The small bowel has many roles, one of which is to absorb nutrients from our food. Celiac disease (CD) arises when the lining of the small bowel becomes damaged from exposure to gluten , the protein found in wheat, barley and rye. (Oats may be involved because oats are often contaminted with gluten from other grains during the milling process.) The small bowel becomes unable to absorb water and nutrients, causing a number of different symptoms. Why does a child get CD? First, the disease arises only after exposure to gluten. Second, there is usually a genetic predisposition toward a "sensitive" small bowel lining. Third, certain environmental insults may make the lining more susceptible to injury from gluten, such as surgery on the gastrointestinal tract or a gastrointestinal infection. Whatever the initial reason, the gluten causes an immunologic response in the lining of the small bowel: the surface folds shrink and flatten and a "malabsorption" condition occurs. CD used to be considered to be much more common in Europe than in the US, but recent studies indicate that the incidence of CD in people in the US of European ancestry have the same incidence as in Europe. People of African-Caribbean and far Eastern Asian ancestry very rarely have CD. Studies in the 1990s indicated that children with DS are at a higher risk to develop CD than the general population. The reasons for that aren't entirely clear, but since children with DS are at a greater risk from auto-immune diseases, that CD represents another one of these type of diseases. Studies from Europe looking at the percentage of children with DS that have CD have ranged from 7% to 16%. One American study found 4 to 5% of children with Down syndrome living on the East Coast had positive CD, but almost all the subjects were Caucasian, so this group was mostly of European heritage to begin with. Another American study done in the southeastern US found 7% of the children with DS studied had CD.
