Learning Objectives

 Describe three symptoms of celiac disease
 State two conditions associated with untreated celiac
disease
 Identify three grain alternatives that are gluten free
What Is Celiac Disease (CD)

 Autoimmune digestive disease
 Damages villi of small intestine
 Interferes with absorption of nutrients from food
 Also called




Gluten-sensitive enteropathy
Sprue
Non-tropical sprue
Celiac sprue
 It is NOT an allergy
Cause of Celiac Disease

 Still unknown
What is Gluten?

 General name for prolamins (storage proteins) in
wheat, rye, barley
 Toxic prolamins
 Gliadin in wheat
 Secalin in rye
 Hordein in barley
Some CD Statistics

 1 in 133 or 1% of American population has Celiac
Disease or CD (about 3 million people)¹
 1 in 141 or 0.71% of Americans have CD²
 In 70% of identical twin pairs, both twins have the
disease³
 Family members who have an autoimmune disease
are at a 25% increased risk of having celiac disease³
¹Prevalence of Celiac Disease in At-risk and Not-at-risk Groups in the United
States. Arch Int. Med. (2003) 163:286
²The American Journal of Gastroenterology 107, 1538-1544 (October 2012)
³Nationl Foundation For Celiac Awareness, Updated Feb. 28, 2013
Statistics (cont’d)

 Estimated 85% of Americans who have celiac disease are
undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions¹
 6-10 years is the average time a person waits to be correctly
diagnosed²
 5-22% of celiac patients have an immediate family member
(1st degree relative) who also has celiac¹
 Burden of disease over four-year period per patient:
 Celiac-free males: $4,019
 Males with CD: $14,191¹
 May is Celiac Awareness Month

Symptoms Celiac Disease
 Lactose intolerance
 Abdominal pain
 Bloating/gas
 Diarrhea and/or
constipation
 Indigestion/reflux
(“heartburn”)
 Nausea and vomiting
 Fatigue/lethargy
 Muscle weakness
 Itchy skin rash
 Tingling/numbness
 Mouth sores
 Bone pain
 Easy skin bruising
 Edema of hands and feet
 Joint pain
 Delayed growth
 Weight loss or gain
 Osteoporosis
 Headaches
 Depression/irritability
 Hair loss
Symptoms of CD (cont’d)

 Iron, folate and/or
vitamin B12 deficiency
 Other vitamin and
mineral deficiencies
(A,D, E, K, calcium)
 Elevated liver enzymes
 Discolored teeth
 Migraine headaches
 Depression
 Menstrual irregularities
 Infertility in both
women and men
 Recurrent miscarriages
Celiac Disease Risk Factors

 These place one at greater risk
 An immediate family member with CD
 Presence of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes
 About 95% of people with celiac disease have the
HLA-DQ2 gene
 Most of the remaining 5% have the HLA-DQ8 gene
 Major life event, emotional stress, pregnancy, or
surgery in those who are genetically predisposed
 Those with other autoimmune disease
 Those with another genetic disorder
 Infants—exposure to gluten before 3 months of age
Some Disorders/Conditions
Associated More Frequently with CD

 Type I diabetes
 Thyroid disease
 Liver disease
 Sjögren’s syndrome
 Lupus
 Addison’s disease
 Scleroderma
 Alopecia areata
 Rheumatoid arthritis
 Turner syndrome
 Raynaud’s syndrome
Diagnosis of CD

 Symptoms
 Blood test
 Small bowel biopsy
 Should be tested while on a gluten-containing diet
Serologic Tests

 No standardization in testing for diagnosis of CD
 Some of these may be done:
• AGA (antigliadin antibodies)-IgA
• AGA-IgG
• tTG (anti-tissue transglutaminase)-IgA
• EMA (anti-endomysial antibodies)-IgA
• Total serum IgA
 Gluten free diet should not be started before blood
tests and biopsy
Diagnosis—The Biopsy

 Diagnosis: Intestinal
Biopsy
 A biopsy of the small
intestine can confirm the
findings of the blood
test. 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

 MalabsorptionMalnutrition
 Low blood glucose or swings in blood glucose
 Osteoporosis
 Infertility
 Neurological problems
 Lactose intolerance
 Lymphoma of small intestine
 Cancer
Treatment for CD









Milk
Eggs
Fish (e.g., bass, cod, flounder)
Crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp)
Tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
Peanuts
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 (i.e., 20 ppm)
 Or 20 micrograms or more gluten per gram of food


 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


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

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. (Source: Packaged Facts, 2011)

Conditions Associated With
Untreated Celiac Disease

 Malnutrition
 Anemia
 Osteoporosis and
osteopenia
 Delayed growth
 Failure to thrive in
children
 Infertility and
reproductive health
problems
 Migraines
 Neurological
conditions
 Cancer
Diagnosis of CD

 Symptoms
 Blood test
 Intestinal biopsy
Testing

 Diagnosis: Blood Tests
 Because the symptoms of
celiac disease can be varied,
it is often undiagnosed or
misdiagnosed. 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
