High-risk HLA Genotype is Biggest Risk Factor for Celiac Disease Among At-Risk Relatives
Celiac.com 10/18/2021 - Researchers and clinicians have promoted family screening as a way to reduce the significant under-diagnosis of celiac disease. However, good data for calculating the exact risk of the disease in relatives, and the effects of individual patient- and relative-related factors, remains scarce.
A team of researchers recently set out to investigate the individual risk of celiac disease among relatives of celiac patients.
The research team included Saana Paavola, Katri Lindfors, Laura Kivelä, Juliana Cerqueira, Heini Huhtala, Päivi Saavalainen, Riku Tauschi, Katri Kaukinen, and Kalle Kurppa.
They are variously affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology at the University of Tampere and Tampere University Hospital in Tampere, Finland; ...

Children with Celiac-Affected First-degree Relatives Should be Screened Early in Life
Celiac.com 06/20/2022 - Doctors currently recommend that first-degree relatives of those with celiac disease also get screened for the disease, but it's been unclear how often doctors should screen, or at what age.
A team of researchers recently set out to detect variables influencing the risk of celiac disease development so they can develop and validate clinical prediction models in order to provide individualized screening advice.
The research team included Caroline R. Meijer; Renata Auricchio; Hein Putter; Gemma Castillejo; Paula Crespo; Judit Gyimesi; Corina Hartman; Sanja Kolacek; Sibylle Koletzko; Ilma Korponay-Szabo; Eva Martinez Ojinaga; Isabel Polanco; Carmen Ribes-Koninckx; Raanan Shamir; Hania Szajewska; Riccardo Troncone; Vincenzo Villanacci; Katharina Werkstetter...

Celiac Risks Much Higher for First Degree Relatives of People with Celiac Disease
Celiac.com 11/28/2022 - First-degree relatives of people with celiac disease have much higher celiac disease rates than the general population, but there isn't much data on the clinical characteristics of the relatives as a group.
To get a better idea of the exact level of risk, a team of Canadian researchers recently carried out a retrospective review of patients who visited a pediatric celiac disease clinic.
The researchers conducted a retrospective review of 227 patients (144 girls and 83 boys) who were diagnosed with biopsy-proven celiac disease between 1996 and 2014, with an average age of 8 years old at diagnosis. All patients were screened using tissue transglutaminase (tTG-IgA) tests with normal IgA immunoglobulin level for their age. Out of the 227 celiac patients,...

  Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?
  
  Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it...

  There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is...

  Scott, could you elaborate on hydrolyzed wheat? Does that remove or deactivate the gluten protein?

  McDonald's has a gluten-free bun, are you in Europe? They don't have that in the USA but I hope they are coming here soon. In the USA the fries are not considered gluten-free, even if they are made in a dedicated fryer, but many celiacs, including myself, have been eating them for years without issues. In Europe they don't have the same hydrolyzed wheat...
