Celiac.com 08/08/2018 - A number of studies have cataloged the numerous challenges faced by adolescents with celiac disease  attempting to comply with a gluten-free diet.  A team of researchers recently set out to reevaluate gluten-free dietary compliance and the current clinical condition of 123 now teenage celiac patients, who were diagnosed in the first three years of life and were followed up for at least 10 years to determine whether a less strict approach to a gluten-free diet can actually increase gluten-free dietary compliance.
The research team included M Mayer, L Greco, R Troncone, S Auricchio, and M N Marsh. They are variously affiliated with the University Department of Medicine, Hope Hospital, Salford, Manchester, UK.
The team used computerized image analysis to a...

Celiac.com 04/05/2019 - Avoiding gluten is literally the most important dietary practice for people with celiac disease. A gluten-free diet is the only way to avoid major health problems down the line.
Until now, anyone on a gluten-free diet looking to eat food in restaurants had to rely on lots of detective work, gathering information from menus, word of mouth, intuition, and restaurant workers' advice, with little or no supporting data. 
Portable Gluten Detection Data Drives Restaurant Study
With the development of handheld gluten detection devices, like Nima, it’s now possible to take some of the guesswork out of equation by testing small bits of food on site in real time before it is consumed.
A team of researchers recently analyzed data from Nima portable gl...

Celiac.com 10/14/2019 - One of the big debates among people with celiac disease concerns how vigilant celiacs need to be to make sure they avoid gluten. What does science say about gluten contamination in three common scenarios? How careful do you need to be about gluten contamination?
For example, how likely are you to get gluten over 20ppm if you share a toaster, pasta water, or slice a cupcake with the same knife used to cut a non-gluten-free cupcake?
A team of researchers recently set out to assess three common scenarios where people with celiac disease might reasonably fear gluten contamination. How did the actual risk for each situation measure up?
Scenario 1: Water used to cook regular pasta is reused to cook gluten-free penne and fusilli. The gluten-free p...

Celiac.com 11/11/2022 - You are either diagnosed with celiac disease, are gluten sensitive, or perhaps you have latent or silent celiac disease, which may mean that you seem to have few or even no health problems at all, yet you sill are a celiac. Latent and silent celiac disease seem to occur more often in adults, but they can also affect children as well. Did you know that there are several types of celiac disease, and experts don't always agree on how to deal with each type?
Researchers Now Recognize Several Types of Celiac Disease:
Classic Celiac Disease
This version manifests with the classical GI symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and possible vomiting, which can also cause dehydration, dizziness, and lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This...
