Celiac disease damages or destroys the villi—the small, hairlike protrusions in the intestine What Does Celiac Disease Look Like? Refractory Celiac Disease Small percentage of people with celiac disease do not respond to a gluten-free diet. May be prescribed glucocorticoids or at times immunosuppressants are indicated to induce remission Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) Another form of celiac disease Chronic skin condition Intense burning Itchy and blistering rash Often misdiagnosed with eczema, contact dermatitis, allergies, hives, herpes, or psoriasis Many with DH have varying degrees of small intestinal villous atrophy Diagnosis– skin biopsy from unaffected skin adjacent to blisters or erosions Treatment is a strict gluten free diet for life Some Complications of Untreated CD MalabsorptionMalnutrition Low blood glucose or swings in blood glucose Osteoporosis Infertility Neurological problems Lactose intolerance Lymphoma of small intestine Cancer Treatment for CD Only known treatment is strict gluten free diet for life!

ingredient list Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) (Public Law 108-282, Title II) of the FDA Food label to clearly identify wheat and other common food allergens in

Wheat Soybeans Develop and finalize rules for term “gluten free” on product labels (not done yet) “Gluten Free” FDA gluten free labeling to be voluntary FDA proposing to define the food labeling term "gluten-free" to mean a food bearing this claim does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is a "prohibited grain," which refers to any species of wheat (e.g., durum wheat, spelt wheat, or kamut), rye, barley, or their crossbred hybrids An ingredient (e.g., wheat flour) that is derived from a "prohibited grain" and that has not been processed to remove gluten An ingredient (e.g., wheat starch) that is derived from a "prohibited grain" that has been processed to remove gluten, if the use of that ingredient results in the presence of 20 micrograms or more gluten per gram of food

make recommendations and monitor Provide tips for maximizing nutrient uptake Restore Gut Health Number one way to improve gut health is removing gluten from diet May take longer to restore gut health for some Some may need steps beyond gluten free diet Digestive health and integrity of gut lining play important roles in immune health Remember Wheat free is not gluten free When in doubt, go without May be contamination in food preparation Stay symptom free with gluten free Eating gluten free is work Who Is Buying Gluten Free Those who suffer from celiac disease Those who are sensitive to gluten Those who think gluten free products are healthier Those who follow a trend in the news Future Possibilities Gluten-degrading enzymes Modified grains that lack immunogenic compounds Zonulin inhibitors

Adhere To Diet; Autism Gluten-Free Diet and Autism Some parents believe a gluten-free diet can help children with autism, although the idea is controversial. The theory suggests children with autism are sensitive to gluten, and avoiding the protein can improve certain symptoms, such as speech or social behavior. At present, there is not enough research to confirm or refute the effectiveness of gluten-free diets in people with autism. Terminology Wheat—one of several grains made up of gluten, albumin, and globulin proteins Gluten—protein complex found in wheat, rye, barley , spelt, triticale??? Gliadin—one of two main protein groups in gluten Glutenins—other protein group in gluten Terminology Wheat—one of several grains made up of gluten, albumin, and globulin proteins Gluten—protein complex found in wheat, rye, barley, spelt, triticale Gliadin—one of two main protein groups in gluten Glutenins—other protein group in gluten Further Information There are NO pharmaceutical cures for celiac disease. A 100% gluten-free diet is the only existing treatment for celiac today A positive attitude, 100% of the time, helps celiacs create a gluten-free lifestyle for themselves and their affected family members. The celiac disease diagnosis rate may reach 50-60% by 2019, thanks to efforts to raise public awareness of celiac disease. (Source: Datamonitor Group, 2009) Gluten-free sales reached more than $2.6 billion by the end of 2010 and are now expected to exceed more than $5 billion by 2015.

A blood test can detect high levels of certain antibodies that suggest that you have celiac disease. If the results are negative, your doctor may order additional testing, possibly including an analysis of your DNA to help get an accurate diagnosis. Genetic Tests for CD Genetic testing offers another important piece of information. About onethird of Americans have the DQ2 or DQ8 genes that are considered necessary for a person to develop the disease. If you don't have those genes, your doctor can rule out celiac disease as a cause of your symptoms, but many people have the genes and don't develop CD. Additional Symptoms CD in Children Irritability Behavioral changes Concentration and learning difficulties Failure to thrive Delayed puberty Dental enamel abnormalities Comparison Gluten Sensitivity Wheat Allergy Similar symptoms, such as abdominal pain, fatigue, or headaches Not intestinal damage or more severe consequences of celiac disease Gluten-free diet eliminates symptoms Adverse reaction to one or more proteins in wheat Symptoms—skin, GI tract, respiratory tract Avoidance of wheat and wheat-containing foods Gluten Sensitivity Some overlap of celiac disease symptoms—pain, fatigue, headaches, tingling, numbness, “foggy brain” Non-intestinal symptoms often continue Antibodies and intestinal damage (seen in celiac disease) are not present If there is intestinal damage, it is minimal and goes away with gluten free diet Currently no laboratory or histological tests diagnose gluten sensitivity Other Prolamins These prolamins NOT toxic to those with CD Rice prolamin orzenin Corn prolamin zein Sometimes erroneously labeled “corn gluten” To Decrease Intestinal Permeability Eat an anti-inflammatory diet (more on this) Limit alcohol consumption Stop aspirin and NSAIDS if doctor recommends Some nutrients may play role in restoring functional integrity of gut lining L-glutamine—beets, cabbage, chicken, fish, beef, beans, dairy Zinc—beef, lamb, mushrooms, green leafy vegetables, scallops, shrimp, turkey, pumpkin and sesame seeds Supplementation may be recommended
