A food company sent me their gluten free list this week along with a note that says Vitamin A acetate, Vitamin E acetate, beta-carotene and Vitamin D can use starch carriers (not in soft gels or liquid, however.) Since I'd never heard of this source of "hidden" gluten, I decided to check it out. I wrote to Steve Plogsted, a pharmacist on staff at Columbus Children's Hospital who told me the following: "The chance that the starch comes from a contaminated source is extremely unlikely but it still requires further investigation." According to Steve Plogsted, the term starch carrier means the same as a starch filler or binder. A common carrier is starch 1500 (RTA) which is a corn derived product. Other carriers may include lactose and other saccharides, e.g., fructose, sucrose, dextrose, confectioner's sugar and maltodextrins. Starch carriers can also - though rarely - be derived from wheat.

It is characterized by mucosal inflammation, villous atrophy, and crypt hyperplasia, which occur upon exposure to gluten, and clinical and histological improvement with withdrawal of gluten from the diet. Genetic susceptibility is suggested by a high concordance among monozygotic twins of close to 70 percent, and an association with certain type II human leukocyte antigens (HLA).

But these are just a few of the foods that Stanford University biochemist Chaitan Khosla has had to teach his 6-year-old son to avoid. The boy has celiac disease, an inherited immune disorder, and it has sentenced him, for life, to refrain from eating anything that contains wheat gluten or similar proteins in barley and rye. In the boy's small intestine, those grain components would trigger a chain of events that can cause bloating, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Without the restricted diet, the condition can lead to fatigue, migraines, dermatitis, anemia, and osteoporosis. Khosla's son isn't alone in enduring his gluten-free lifestyle. Although celiac disease was considered rare in the United States a decade ago, recent tallies indicate that it may affect as many as 1 in 150 people, or 2 million in all. Many people with the condition aren't properly diagnosed and suffer unexplained symptoms and potentially grave complications.

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER When Eric Oemig's father died in late 2000, at age 67, doctors hadn't figured out the type of cancer that killed him, despite locating a "large mass of tumors" in his abdomen. What the physicians discovered after the older Oemig's death is he suffered from celiac disease. Celiac disease is a genetically influenced condition that renders a person intolerant to gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. Researchers debate whether the gluten in oats causes similar body reactions. Eating gluten leads to an improper immune system response, damaging the inner lining of the small intestine and blocking nutrient absorption. "I went on a gluten-free diet after my dad died," said Oemig, 36, who lives in Kirkland. "I didn't wait for any doctor's orders. Nine months later, I was officially diagnosed with celiac disease."

E-mail to a Friend Celiac disease is a genetic disease that is a severe form of gluten intolerance that results in intestinal complications. Gluten is the major allergy protein in wheat, spelt, barley, rye and oats. A study has suggested that celiac disease is far more prevalent in the United States than previously believed. Previous studies have shown that about 1 in 250 people in Europe had the condition, but it was thought to affect fewer individuals, about 1 in 5,000 in the United States. This study screened 1200 children aged 6 months to 20 years with blood tests and, in some cases, small intestinal biopsy. The researchers reported that the prevalence of celiac disease in these patients ranged from 1 in 57 to 1 in 33. Journal of Pediatrics January 2000 136:86-90 Dr. Mercola's Comment:

E-mail to a Friend Celiac disease, an autoimmune disease of the gut, may be more common than previously thought, according to a study. The disease may affect as many as one in 99 children and is triggered when people who are genetically predisposed consume proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. Children with severe celiac disease have trouble absorbing nutrients, which can lead to weight loss and anemia. Researchers have also discovered mild forms of the disease that have symptoms unrelated to the gut. Further, adults may have the condition for many years without knowing because the symptoms vary widely, making the disease difficult to diagnose. Undiagnosed celiac disease can result in osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, anemia, miscarriages and behavioral changes, researchers noted. In the United States, it took as many as 12 to 13 years after symptoms occurred for patients to be diagnosed with celiac disease, according to another study.

A study published in the April issue of Gastroenterology found that patients with celiac disease (also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy), despite their intolerance to gluten and the possibility of nutrient deficiencies and malabsorption, have the same struggles with fertility and pregnancy as women who don't have gluten intolerance.
