Celiac.com 02/19/2020 - What role, if any, do nutrients play in non-responsive celiac disease?
A team of researchers recently set out to compile an overview of the causes of non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) in adults, highlight a systematic approach to investigate these patients, and assess the latest approaches to managing this subset of celiac disease. 
The team included Hugo A. Penny, Elisabeth M. R. Baggus, Anupam Rej, John A. Snowden, and David S. Sanders. They are variously associated with the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK; the Lydia Becker Institute of Inflammation and Immunology, University of Manchester in Manchester, UK; and the Department of Haematology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield,...

Celiac.com 07/14/2020 - Nutrient deficiencies are common in people with celiac disease, and closely tied to many of its physical expressions. Even though these deficiencies are potentially important, researchers don't really have much good information on their pattern and frequency in celiac patients, or on their potential usefulness at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up. 
A team of researchers recently set out to develop an overview of nutrient deficiencies in children and adults with celiac disease, both upon diagnosis and after treatment with a gluten-free diet. They also sought to better understand the potential role of nutritional deficiencies in the development of celiac disease.
The research team included Johanna M. Kreutz, Marlou P. M. Adriaanse, Elisabeth M...

Celiac.com 01/14/2023 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about hair dye. Lately, we've seen a number of questions asking which brands of hair dyes are gluten-free.
Now, there's no evidence currently that gluten in hair dyes and hair products can trigger symptoms of celiac disease, and the current medical consensus says that gluten cannot penetrate the skin, however, many sensitive celiacs and those with dermatitis herpetiformis have reported issues with gluten and skin contact.  According to noted celiac disease expert Dr. Alessio Fasano, human skin cannot absorb gluten. 
Still, many celiacs find themselves to be sensitive to these products, and prefer to use products t...

Celiac.com 04/15/2023 - Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. One often overlooked consequence of untreated and undiagnosed celiac disease is the potential for nutrient deficiencies. Due to the damage caused to the lining of the small intestine, absorption of various essential nutrients may be impaired, leading to deficiencies that can have wide-ranging health effects. In this article, we will explore the connection between celiac disease and nutrient deficiencies, focusing on several key vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron...
