Need Help Finding Resources For Biology Report

Hey everybody,

I'm doing a research paper for an introductory biology class and the topic has to be on a personal health issue so i figured that writing about Celiac disease would be perfect! I'm having trouble finding sources that explain celiac disease scientificaly and in depth. I'm not sure exactly what about the disease i'm going to be focusing on so any source that explains celiac disease scientifically will really help me choose the direction of my paper.

Thanks much

Emily

Hi Emily, You should check out the home page here and some of the links and this site is also helpful:

Open Original Shared Link

The NIH (National Institute of Health) website will also have a lot of good stuff

Also you can do a search asking for specific info like

celiac and neurological

celiac and malnutrition

celiac and testing

celiac and diagnosis and treatment

celiac and nutrition

celiac and arthritis etc.

You could also put in gluten intolerance instead of celiac and see how much different stuff comes up.

See this site: Open Original Shared Link for PDFs of many of Dr. Fasano's journal articles.

Use www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov to find full text articles about Celiac. www.pubmed.gov usually only has the abstract of the article.

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.

      It took me 2-3 years to feel like my gut recovered, and then I still had gluten ataxia issues for well over a decade.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Good idea, but make sure she does not require lactose free cheese,it is common in celiac patients.
