    Screening and Treatment Outcomes in Adults and Children with Type 1 Diabetes and Asymptomatic Celiac Disease

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac disease is common in asymptomatic patients with type 1 diabetes, and the team advises clinicians to be vigilant about starting those patients on a gluten-free diet.

    Celiac.com 06/09/2020 - What can science tell us about celiac disease screening rates and glycemic outcomes of a gluten-free diet in patients with type 1 diabetes who are asymptomatic for celiac disease?

    A team of researchers recently set out to assess the issue and get some answers. The research team included Farid H. Mahmud, Antoine B.M. Clarke, Kariym C. Joachim, Esther Assor, Charlotte McDonald, Fred Saibil, Heather A. Lochnan, Zubin Punthakee, Amish Parikh, Andrew Advani, Baiju R. Shah, Bruce A. Perkins, Caroline S. Zuijdwijk, David R. Mack, Dror Koltin, Emilia N. De Melo, Eugene Hsieh, Geetha Mukerji, Jeremy Gilbert, Kevin Bax, Margaret L. Lawson, Maria Cino, Melanie D. Beaton, Navaaz A. Saloojee, Olivia Lou, Patricia H. Gallego, Premysl Bercik, Robyn L. Houlden, Ronnie Aronson, Susan E. Kirsch, William G. Paterson, and Margaret A. Marcon. They are all affiliated with the American Diabetes Association.

     The team conducted celiac disease screening on asymptomatic patients from 8 to 45 years of age. To assess changes in HbA1c, they randomly assigned biopsy-confirmed celiac disease patients to a gluten-free diet or gluten-containing diet (GCD), along with one year of glucose monitoring.

    Adults tested positive for celiac disease antibodies more often than children with lower rates of prior celiac disease screening. 

    Twenty-seven subjects went on the gluten-free diet, while twenty-four followed the gluten-containing diet. The team saw no HbA1c differences between the groups, though gluten-free patients showed more substantial glucose increases after meals.

    The studies that I read years ago mention that modern wheat has higher levels of gluten and of a protein called gliadin.  Researchers attributed the rise of Type I diabetes in the US to gliadin.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Can a Gluten-free Diet Lower the Risk of Diabetes?
    Celiac.com 07/14/2014 - Early life intestinal problems have previously been shown to influence diabetes rates. There is also some evidence that a gluten-free diet can lower rates of diabetes, but just how strong is the influence of gluten-free diet on the development of diabetes?
    A recent study by a group of researchers in Denmark suggests that maternal gluten-free diet greatly reduces inflammation and rates of diabetes in the offspring of certain mice. This study led the team to hypothesize that a gluten-free diet, which is known to decrease type 1 diabetes incidence, may also offer protection against diabetes when followed during the pregnancy and lactation period.
    The research team included Camilla H.F. Hansen, Åukasz Krych, Karsten Buschard, Stine B. Metzdorff, Christine Nellemann,...

    A Gluten-Free Diet Helps Type 1 Diabetes
    Celiac.com 10/27/2017 - It has long been understood that two autoimmune diseases, celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are related. They share common genes and the incidence of celiac disease is higher among type 1 diabetics. There have been some anecdotal reports regarding children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who were put on a gluten-free diet soon after their diagnosis and for a period of two years or more didn't require any insulin. The thought was that the gluten-free diet effectively halted the progression of the diabetes, at least for the duration of the study.
    Studies of mice have shown that despite utilizing a genetic strain of mice that were strongly in-bred to increase the risk of type 1 diabetes, 2/3 of them did not do so when a drug was administered to prevent leaky gut....

    Type 1 Diabetics Frequently Have Undiagnosed Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 03/01/2019 - About 30,000 new cases of type 1 diabetes are diagnosed annually in the US, typically in children. If a serious disease affected up to 10% of all type 1 diabetics, wouldn’t you agree that it’s time to sit up and take notice? Perhaps screening for this disease would also make sense.
    Celiac disease affects 1% of the population, making it a common disease. In the celiac population there is an increased prevalence of type 1 diabetes and this association is well established.  Despite celiac disease affecting a much greater percentage of the general population than type 1 diabetes, 90% of the patients suffering from both conditions are first diagnosed with diabetes.[1] Study results vary, but the prevalence of celiac disease among children with diabetes ranges betw...

    High Infant Gluten Intake Raises Risk of Type 1 Diabetes in Childhood
    Celiac.com 09/30/2019 - We know from recent studies that high gluten intake in infancy can raise risk for celiac disease, and we know that the amount of gluten eaten by infants at 18 months heavily influences their risk of developing type 1 diabetes later in life.
    An earlier study conducted in Denmark suggested that a high maternal gluten consumption during pregnancy increased the risk of type 1 diabetes in the child.  
    Until now, researchers have not looked at levels of gluten intake by both the mother during pregnancy and the child in early life, and how that influences risk of developing type 1 diabetes in childhood. 
    Now, a new study shows that every 10 grams of extra gluten eaten at age 18 months is associated with a 46% increased risk of developing type 1 di...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      What canned tomato sauce is gluten free? I use Hunts diced tomatoes, because they're labeled gluten-free, but none of their other products are labeled. Similar situation with some other brands. How about ricotta? Is that generally safe? Can I just get the store brand? Or do I need to look for a gluten-free label? Thanks for any help.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      BadHobit, did you know that 40% of the general population has one or more of the genes that have been associated with the development of celiac disease? But only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, the gene test can legitimately be used to rule out celiac disease but not to confirm it.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      An entirely different infection caused the sore throat. My doctor said, "When you suddenly switch from a gluten-free diet to gluten, your immune system weakens." I got better with medication. Once I recovered, I experimented with wheat-free but gluten-contaminated foods such as oats. Within a week, watery blisters appeared on my skin again. So I gave...

      Food Tasting Salty

      Histamine itself does not have a taste. The salty taste associated with tears or mucus comes from their electrolyte content, not from histamine. While histamine can be part of various immune responses, its connection to gluten reactions is not direct, and it does not taste salty. The salty taste of tears and mucus is due to their sodium chloride content,...

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      @Matt13, Your symptoms sound similar to the ones I had. I had developed nutritional deficiencies, in particular, thiamine deficiency. Gastrointestinal BeriBeri has all those symptoms and the fatigue was horrible. Quick field test from WHO: can you rise unaided from a squat? If you have a serious thiamine deficiency, you cannot stand back...
