  • Celiac Disease Gluten Wheat Allergy
    Celiac Disease vs. Gluten Intolerance vs. Wheat Allergies Are you confused by the different terms for certain food allergies? You are not alone. These terms are sometimes interchanged while describing each other which adds to the confusion. Celiac disease, wheat allergy, and gluten-intolerance while treated similarly, are not the same conditions. Consequently, it is very important for a person to know which condition they have. Your family health care provider can help you evaluate and diagnose your specific condition. What Is Celiac Disease? Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease, which means your body starts attacking itself and its organs. It is usually triggered by an exposure to gluten but only if you are genetically programmed to have celiac disease. For example, many undiagnosed cases have led to people getting their gall bladders and spleens removed because the doctor thought those organs were malfunctioning, when in reality, they were being attacked. Celiac disease also puts the patient at risk for developing other autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes and liver diseases. The good news is, it is the only auto-immune disease with a cure. The only known cure? A drastic dietary change which means you must avoid all gluten at all times. What is Gluten? Gluten is a special type of protein found commonly in rye, wheat, and barley. It is found in most all types of cereals and in many types of bread. Some examples of grains that do NOT have gluten include wild rice, corn, buckwheat, millet, oats, soybeans and quinoa. What is Gluten Intolerance ? Gluten intolerance is not an autoimmune disease and can happen to anyone, especially if you already have allergies.

Brannan The practice of gluten-free diets is on the rise, yet many people are still unaware of what gluten is and how it functions in food. It is important that food and nutrition professionals are knowledgeable on this topic due to the prevalence of gluten-related disorders and the popularity of gluten-free as a fad diet. The purpose of this research was to use a mixed methods approach using qualitative and quantitative methods to obtain and evaluate knowledge and perceptions of a gluten-free diet from future and current food and nutrition professionals. In the first phase of the research, a laboratory questionnaire was administered to assess students enrolled in the Food Science course on their knowledge of gluten.

Abstract: Adverse food reactions include immune-mediated food allergies and non-immune-mediated intolerances. However, this distinction and the involvement of different pathogenetic mechanisms are often confused. Furthermore, there is a discrepancy between the perceived vs. actual prevalence of immune-mediated food allergies and non-immune reactions to food that are extremely common. The risk of an inappropriate approach to their correct identification can lead to inappropriate diets with severe nutritional deficiencies. This narrative review provides an outline of the pathophysiologic and clinical features of immune and non-immune adverse reactions to food—along with general Citation: Gargano, D.; Appanna, R.; diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

  • Wheat Allergy
    Wheat Allergy Commonly confused with celiac disease, a wheat allergy is an allergy to wheat products only. If you have a wheat allergy, exposure to a wheat protein causes an immune response and an allergic reaction. Someone with a wheat allergy can be allergic to any of the four classes of wheat proteins – albumin, globulin, gliadin, and gluten. If you have a wheat allergy you might also be allergic to barley, oats and rye, however, this is rare. If you are not allergic to grains other than wheat, a wheat-free diet is less restrictive than a gluten-free diet. The only treatment is to strictly avoid all food products that contain wheat as an ingredient. Commonly listed wheat-derived ingredients: Bugler Cereal extract Cracked wheat Durum flout Durum wheat Emmer Einkorn Farina Farro Flours made from wheat (all-purpose, bread, cake, enriched, graham, high-gluten, high- protein, pastry) Kamut Semolina Spelt Sprout wheat Triticale Wheat Wheat berries Wheat bran Wheat gluten Wheat malt Wheat starch Extra care must be taken when consuming the following foods. Be sure to read labels carefully. Baked goods Beer Bread and rolls Bread crumbs Bread crumbs Breakfast cereals Cakes Cereals Condiments, such as ketchup Cookies Couscous Crackers Dairy products, such as ice cream Farina Gelatinized starch Hard candies Hydrolyzed vegetable protein Jelly beans Licorice Meat products, such as deli meats and hot dogs Modified food starch Muffins Natural flavorings Pancakes and waffles Pasta Semolina Soy sauce Spelt Tortilla, made from flour Vegetable gum Naturally wheat-free grains to enjoy: *remember gluten-free products will be wheat-free, but wheat-free products will not be gluten free Amaranth Arrowroot Barley Buckwheat Bulger Wheat Chia Corn Flax Legumes (dry beans, peas, lentils) Millet Nuts Potatoes Quinoa Rice Rye Rye Berries Sorghum Soy Spelt Tapioca Teff Wild Rice Cooking substitutions: Thickeners – to replace 1 Tbsp.

  • Symptoms of Celiac Disease? There Are More Than 300 Symptoms of Celiac Disease, and Symptoms Can Vary from Person to Person
    Could it be Celiac Disease? Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that often runs in families. When someone with celiac disease eats gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley and rye, the body causes an immune attack on the intestinal lining. This harms the lining and prevents nutrients from being absorbed into the body. Some people have symptoms that affect the skin. Others have symptoms that affect the organs or organ systems of the body, and some have no symptoms at all. Some breakthrough findings were made in 2011. Research found that celiac disease is just one piece in a spectrum of gluten-related disorders. The spectrum also includes non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which has many of the same symptoms as celiac disease, and wheat allergy. What are the symptoms of celiac disease? There are more than 300 symptoms of celiac disease, and symptoms can vary from person to person. Some individuals develop symptoms early in life, while others feel healthy far into adulthood. Some people with celiac disease have no signs or symptoms at all. These differences make it difficult to diagnose celiac disease. As many as 95% of people with celiac disease may be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions. Celiac disease can affect many systems of the body, resulting in a variety of symptoms. Some include: General: • Anemia • Fatigue • Irritability • Failure to thrive Central Nervous System: • Depression • Ataxia (lack of muscle coordination) • Developmental delays • Seizures Skin and Mucosal Systems: • Dermatitis herpetiformis, an intensely itchy and chronic rash found primarily on elbows, knees, buttocks, back, and back of neck.

  • Dietary Avoidance – Wheat Allergy
    Dietary avoidance – wheat allergy Wheat is found in many foods and often in foods we do not suspect. Avoiding wheat is essential for individuals with confirmed wheat allergy. Therefore, it is important to read and understand food labels to be able to choose appropriate foods. The following foods and ingredients CONTAIN wheat and should be avoided: Atta flour Graham flour Wheat Bulgar Kamut Wheat bran Burghul Matzoh Wheat flour Cous cous Seitan Wheat germ Cracker meal Semolina Wheat meal Durum Spelt Wheat starch Farina Tabouleh Wheat berries Gluten Triticale Check labels on the following foods to see if they contain wheat and if they do, avoid them: Baked goods Flavouring (natural/artificial) Pasta/noodles Battered foods Hydrolysed vegetable protein Pastry/tarts Beer (HVP) Playdough Biscuits – sweet and savoury Ice cream cones Processed meats Bread (other than gluten free) Icing sugar Rusks Breadcrumbs Instant drink mixes Sauces/gravy mixes Breakfast cereal Liquorice Soy sauce Cakes/muffins Lollies Soups Canned soups/stocks Malt, malted milk Snack foods Cereal extract Mustard Starch Coffee substitutes Meat/seafood substitutes Stock cubes Cornflour (from wheat) Multigrain or wholemeal foods Surimi Donuts Pancakes/waffles Vegetable gum/starch The following ingredients are made from wheat but are tolerated by individuals with wheat allergy: Caramel colour. Glucose powder (from wheat). Dextrose (from wheat). Glucose syrup (from wheat). Gluten free foods Gluten is one of many proteins in wheat, barley, oats and rye. Most individuals with wheat allergy can tolerate oats, but the decision to include should be discussed with your allergy specialist. Approximately 20% of individuals with wheat allergy may be allergic to other cereals (such as barley, rye or oats).
