Celiac.com 11/21/2011 - Celiac disease is common in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). These people can show Abs reactions against tissue transglutaminase, the prime trigger in celiac disease. In short, gliadin seems to play a role in type 1 diabetes pathogenesis.
An international research team set out to investigate whether gliadin contributes to enteropathy and insulitis in NOD-DQ8 mice, an animal model that does not spontaneously develop T1D.
The researchers included Heather J. Galipeau, Nestor E. Rulli, Jennifer Jury, Xianxi Huang, Romina Araya, Joseph A. Murray, Chella S. David, Fernando G. Chirdo, Kathy D. McCoy, and Elena F. Verdu, and are variously affiliated with the Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute at McMaster University Medical Centre in Canada, Laboratorio...

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...

Celiac.com 07/04/2019 - There's been some data to suggest that gluten may play a role in diabetes, but there really isn't much data on the role of gluten in type 1 diabetes (T1D), so a team of researchers recently set out to test whether gluten plays a role in type 1 diabetes onset. Specifically, the team wanted to know if a gluten-free diet can decelerate the decline in beta-cell capacity in newly diagnosed non-celiac children with T1D.
The research team included Vít Neuman, Stepanka Pruhova, Michal Kulich, Stanislava Kolouskova, Jan Vosahlo, Martina Romanova, Lenka Petruzelkova, Barbora Obermannova, Ondrej Cinek, and Zdeněk Šumník. They are variously affiliated with Charles University in Prague, and the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague, Czech Republic.
