Coeliac disease

Coeliac disease
Coeliac disease, also spelled celiac disease, is an autoimmune disorder affecting primarily the small intestine that occurs in people who are genetically predisposed.[1] Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal distention, malabsorption, loss of appetite, and among children failure to grow normally. This often begins between six months and two years of age.[2] Non-classic symptoms are the most common, especially in people older than two years.[3][4][5] There may be mild or absent gastrointestinal symptoms, a wide number of symptoms involving any part of the body, or no obvious symptoms.[2] Coeliac disease was first described in childhood;[3][6] however, it may develop at any age.[2][3] It is associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes mellitus type 1 and thyroiditis, among others.[6] Signs and symptoms[edit] Gastrointestinal[edit] Malabsorption-related[edit] Miscellaneous[edit] Cause[edit] Other grains[edit] Risk modifiers[edit]

Gluten sensitivity Gluten-related disorders Gluten sensitivity (also gluten intolerance) is a spectrum of disorders including celiac disease in which gluten has an adverse effect on the body. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, muscular disturbances and bone or joint pain.[1][2] Wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity are not the same conditions. However, self-reported Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) may not be a discrete entity or part of this spectrum disorder bring its role in functional bowel disorders like irritable bowel syndrome into question.[3] Gluten, named from the Latin gluten meaning glue[4], is a substance that gives elasticity to dough helping it to rise and to keep its shape. Symptoms[edit] Symptoms of gluten sensitivity number more than two-hundred and fifty[5] include bloating, abdominal discomfort or pain, constipation and diarrhea, and might present extraintestinal symptoms including muscular disturbances and bone or joint pain.[1][2] Gluten challenge[edit]

Celiac disease linked to increased risk of coronary artery disease -- ScienceDaily People with celiac disease may have a near two-fold increased risk of coronary artery disease compared with the general population, according to research to be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 63rd Annual Scientific Session. The study is the first to look at the association between celiac disease and coronary artery disease and adds to the evolving understanding of how systemic inflammation and autoimmune processes might influence cardiovascular disease development. Data also showed a slightly higher risk of stroke among people with celiac disease compared to controls. Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the digestive system that can damage the small intestine, eventually interfering with the absorption of key nutrients. People with celiac disease are unable to tolerate gluten -- a protein found in food such as wheat, rye and barley. Gluten is thought to trigger an immune and inflammatory response in the gut.

Zöliakie Die Zöliakie (Synonyme: glutensensitive oder gluteninduzierte Enteropathie, intestinaler Infantilismus; bei Erwachsenen auch nichttropische oder einheimische Sprue, Heubner-Herter-Krankheit) ist eine Glutenunverträglichkeit charakterisiert durch eine chronische Erkrankung der Dünndarmschleimhaut aufgrund einer Überempfindlichkeit gegen Bestandteile von Gluten, dem in vielen Getreidesorten vorkommenden Klebereiweiß. Die Unverträglichkeit bleibt lebenslang bestehen, sie ist zum Teil erblich und kann derzeit nicht ursächlich behandelt werden. Ähnliche Symptome wie bei der Zöliakie treten bei einer Glutensensitivität, einer weiteren Glutenunverträglichkeit, auf. Auch hier führt nur eine Glutenvermeidungs-Diät zur Verbesserung des Gesundheitszustands. Allergene[Bearbeiten] Bei den Allergenen handelt es sich um bestimmte Bestandteile von Gluten.

Inborn error of metabolism The term inborn error of metabolism was coined by a British physician, Archibald Garrod (1857–1936), in the early 20th century (1908). He is known for work that prefigured the "one gene-one enzyme" hypothesis, based on his studies on the nature and inheritance of alkaptonuria. His seminal text, Inborn Errors of Metabolism was published in 1923. [edit] Traditionally the inherited metabolic diseases were categorized as disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, or lysosomal storage diseases. Incidence[edit] In a study in British Columbia, the overall incidence of the inborn errors of metabolism were estimated to be 40 per 100,000 live births or 1 in 1,400 births,[1] overall representing more than approximately 15% of single gene disorders in the population.[1] Signs and symptoms[edit] Diagnosis[edit] Dozens of congenital metabolic diseases are now detectable by newborn screening tests, especially the expanded testing using mass spectrometry.

IBS | Fodmap | Gluten-Free Many people have found relief through the Low FodMap diet as a way to reduce IBS symptoms. I was introduced to this by my Integrative M.D. and since I cut out these vegetables and other foods, I feel better and have had less stomach distress. FodMap’s are found in everyday foods such as ice cream and milk (Lactose); pears, honey, watermelon and apples (Free Fructose); onions, garlic and wheat (Fructans); legumes (Galaccto-Oligosaccharides); and mints, sugar-free gum and prunes (Polyols). Meats and oils are free of FodMap’s so they can be eaten along with gluten-free grains. The theory is that consuming foods high in FodMap’s results in an increased volume of gas and liquid in the large and small intestine, resulting in symptoms such as gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Below I’ve outlined a list of foods that are high and low in FodMap’s. Common HIGH FodMap Foods (Foods to Avoid) Common LOW FodMap Foods (Foods to Eat) Fruits Sweeteners Dairy/ Dairy Alternatives Vegetables Gluten-Free Grains

Scientists develop 'cure' for peanut allergies By David Derbyshire Updated: 11:51 GMT, 20 July 2009 Doctors have developed a potential cure for peanut allergies in a breakthrough that could help tens of thousands of children. The pioneering therapy uses carefully controlled doses of peanut flour to 'retrain' a child's faulty immune system and bring it back to normal. In early trials, doctors successfully treated 20 children suffering from severe peanut allergies. 'Cured': Michael Frost, aged 9, is now able to eat peanuts after his allergy was 'de-sensitised' By the end of the six-month experiment, some of the youngsters could eat up to 12 nuts every day without suffering a life-threatening allergic reaction. Researchers at Cambridge now want to see whether the same technique can be used to tackle the increase in other types of food allergies such as milk, kiwi fruit and gluten. Around one child in 50 is thought to suffer from peanut allergy in Britain. It is the most common serious allergic reaction and appears to be on the rise.
