    Stanford Children’s Health Launches New Center for Pediatric IBD and Celiac Disease

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Children's celiac disease and IBD research, diagnosis, support and treatment just got a giant boost with Stanford's new Pediatric Center for IBD and Celiac Disease.

    Celiac.com 04/26/2022 - Celiac disease research, diagnosis, support and treatment just got a big shot in the arm with the launch of Stanford's new Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Celiac Disease.

    Made possible by a $70 million gift from an anonymous donor, the center aims to make a major contribution to improving the lives of young patients who suffer from inflammatory bowel and celiac disease.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Because many kids with IBD and celiac disease need comprehensive and dedicated care to get the best results, the new center will unite expert clinicians, researchers, IBD and celiac disease nurses, dietitians, psychologists, and social workers, to offer world-class clinical care for kids with IBD and celiac disease. In addition, the center will provide treatment for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis and very-early-onset IBD.

    To meet the wide-ranging care needs of children across the spectrum of IBD and celiac disease severity, the center will work closely with top pediatric specialists in a number of areas, including advanced endoscopy, surgery, pain management, mental health, nutrition and integrative medicine at Stanford.

    Researchers and clinicians will work with Stanford Medicine scientists in microbiome science, human immunology, genetics, epithelial biology, biomedical engineering and data science to explore the origins of IBD and celiac disease in children, improve drugs, and help develop new treatments. 

    One advantage of this approach is that the "collaboration with expert clinical immunologists and geneticists enables us to provide advanced diagnostic and treatment options to children with IBD and celiac disease disorders that do not respond to standard treatment,” said Center director, Dr. Michael J. Rosen.  Dr. Rosen describes the center as the  “...nation’s destination center for innovation in pediatric IBD and celiac disease care, as well as a major research hub for these conditions,” adding that the center's joint services "will give children from birth to age 22 the best chance to live full and productive lives,” Dr. Rosen said.

    In addition to being a pediatric gastroenterologist at Stanford Children’s Health, Dr. Rosen is also the Stanford University Endowed Professor for Pediatric IBD & Celiac Disease. Experts in the center will also work to speed up knowledge of these chronic diseases, collect and share data, and synchronize approaches to improve diagnosis and treatment.

    This collaborative approach can help the center to "personalize treatment, curate biospecimens and patient-reported outcomes data for the world’s investigators and develop clear guidance on which drugs are safest and most effective for each child,” adds Dr. Rosen.

    Kansas Moms Launch Food Pantry Tailored For Kids With Allergies
    Celiac.com 02/03/2017 - Feeding kids restricted to a "special" diet due to food allergies or sensitivities can be both challenging and expensive. Two Kansas moms turned their experience meeting those challenges with their own children into a full-blown community service, dedicated to helping parents feed kids with food allergies on the cheap.
    Emily Brown's daughter suffers from allergies to milk, eggs, wheat, soy, and peanuts. Avoiding such common ingredients really pushed up the Brown family's grocery bills. A single loaf of gluten-free bread can exceed $6.99. Such high costs led the women to seek federal assistance, but allergen-free food options in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program had limited offerings for their children.
    For example, the program substitutes corn...

    Seville Spain Launches a Gluten-Free Support Network
    Celiac.com 11/12/2019 - People with celiac disease know that the battle to remain gluten-free requires constant vigilance, and most are thankful for any help they can get along the way. Still, most help is limited and scattershot.
    Ever wonder what it would look like for a town or city to help people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance to have a normal social life? Well, it might look a bit like a plan unveiled recently by the City Council of Seville, Spain as part of a new health and welfare campaign designed to provide comprehensive information on gluten-free food options within Seville.

    New Device for Modeling Complex Gut Microbiome Could Help Celiac Research
    Celiac.com 08/27/2020 - Several thousand strains of bacteria live in the human gut. Some strains are beneficial, while others can promote disease. To make matters more difficult, many of these strains cannot currently be grown in laboratory settings. Certain bacteria species that cannot live in oxygen-rich environments present an even more difficult study challenge.
    A team of biological and mechanical engineers at MIT have created a device for growing oxygen-intolerant bacteria in tissue in low-oxygen conditions that mirror the lining of the human colon, allowing them to live for up to four days.
    The research team used the device to grow a strain of bacteria called Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, which lives in the human gut and protects against inflammation. 
    They a...
