    Risk of Low Bone Mineral Density and Low Body Mass Index in Patients with Non-Celiac Wheat-Sensitivity

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 12/15/2014 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), aka `wheat sensitivity’ (NCWS), is currently included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders.

    A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of low bone mass density in NCWS patients and to search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. The researchers included Antonio Carroccio, Maurizio Soresi, Alberto D'Alcamo, Carmelo Sciumè, Giuseppe Iacono, Girolamo Geraci, Ignazio Brusca, Aurelio Seidita, Floriana Adragna, Miriam Carta and Pasquale Mansueto.

    For their prospective observation study, the team assessed 75 NCWS patients (63 women; median age 36 years) with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, along with control groups of 65 patients with IBS and 50 with celiac disease. The team recruited patients from two Internal Medicine Departments. The diagnoses of NCWS were established using an elimination diet and double-blind placebo controlled wheat challenge.

    The team determined bone mass density in all subjects using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA), in addition to assessing all subjects for duodenal histology, HLA DQ typing, body mass index, and daily calcium intake. The double-blind placebo controlled wheat challenge revealed that 30 of the 75 NCWS patients suffered sensitivity to multiple foods. Osteopenia and osteoporosis frequency increased from IBS to NCWS and to celiac disease (P <0.0001).

    Thirty-five of the patients with NCWS (46.6%) showed osteopenia or osteoporosis. Low bone mass density was related to low body mass index and multiple food sensitivity. Levels of daily dietary calcium intake were significantly lower in NCWS patients than in control subjects with IBS.

    The study showed that patients with NCWS suffered from higher rates of bone mass loss; which correlated with low body mass index, and was more frequent in NCWS patients who showed sensitivity to multiple foods.

    The team also found that patients with NCWS generally had a low daily intake of dietary calcium.

    Pediatrics 2001;108:e89
    Celiac.com 01/14/2002 - According to a report in the electronic version of Pediatrics for November 2001, Osteopenia is often found in children with untreated celiac disease. A strict gluten-free diet will promote an increase in bone mineral density (BMD) values, but even after a year of treatment they may not return to normal. In their study, Dr. Ayhan Gazi Kalayci, of Ondokuz Mayia University, Samsun, Turkey, and colleagues evaluated 32 children with celiac disease and 82 healthy control subjects. The patients were separated into two groups of 16, one that consisted of patients who had been recently diagnosed (within the average of 3.2 years), and the other which consisted of patients who had followed a strict gluten-free diet for 19 to 84 months...

    Celiac.com 11/11/2013 - Celiac disease affects about 1-2% of people, globally. Formerly regarded as a childhood disease, most people are now diagnosed with celiac disease as adults. Many of those adults with celiac disease suffer the consequences of an impaired bone mineralization.
    Researchers A.J. Lucendo, and A. García-Manzanares recently sought to provide new data on the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia and osteoporosis, and celiac disease. To do so, they conducted a PubMed search of last 15 years, and reviewed sources cited in the results to find potential sources of information.
    They found that up to 75% of celiac patients show the effects of low bone mineral density. These effects can be seen can at any age, and they can be seen even with no positive ...

    Zoledronic Acid Does Not Improve Bone Mineral Density in Celiac Patients
    Celiac.com 03/26/2014 - Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is one of the less recognized of the various symptoms of celiac disease, and is attributed to secondary hyperparathyroidism, which in turn is associated with increased bone remodeling.
    Bone mineral density (BMD) is known to improve for celiacs on a gluten free diet, but there is very little data on the efficacy of bisphosphonates in celiac disease patients. Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resorption, and may be useful in celiac patients with low BMD.
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess the effect of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid on BMD in celiac disease patients.
    The research team included Mukul Kumar, Ashu Rastogi, Sanjay Kumar Bhadada, Anil Bhansali, Kim Vaiphei & Rakesh Kochhar of the Departments...
