Celiac Sprue Having read your topic on Gluten, I have this to share: What little I know of spelt is thisit is an ancient grain, dating back to biblical days. It has gained the interest of the health food community recently. It is low in gluten and may be tolerated by some gluten-sensitive individuals. Thanks for the information and I will check alternative sources. However, the nutrition databases I have access to (over 40,000 foods) do not list spelt. Unfortunately, the nutrient analysis for many foods or nutrients on labels in foods sold in health food stores is not available. Hello, I'm 32 and have been diagnosed with many allergies, some I knew about others I didn't. One I am concerned about is gluten, the others are both kinds of yeast. I am wondering about what kinds of things I can substitute in my diet for breads and such, any suggestions would be helpful. First how were you diagnosed with a gluten allergy? Typically, persistent diarrhea after eating is the most common symptom. There seems to be a popular notion that yeast causes candida infections of the gut, which is not supported by nutrition research. I would recommend you investigate a yeast allergy further with your doctor. Rice and potato flour is substituted for wheat, rye, oats and barley that contain gluten. These allergens are in many foods. Vegetable protein products including bacon toppings and soy sauce contain gluten as well. I would suggest you contact a

65. Finer Health And Nutrition : Educational Information : What Is Celiac Sprue? (nontropical sprue and idiopathic steatorrhea are other terms that have been usedfor this disorder in the past.) It should be noted that most of this content http://www.finerhealth.com/Educational_Info/Gluten_Sensitivity/FAQ/

Mission Statement Online Lecture with Kenneth Fine, M.D. ... Email Us Go to: FAQ of CS Slide Show Biopsy Library What is Celiac Sprue? Celiac sprue should be distinguished from gluten sensitivity. Gluten sensitivity implies that a persons immune system is intolerant of gluten in the diet and is forming antibodies or displaying some other evidence of an inflammatory reaction. When these reactions cause intestinal damage visible on a biopsy, the syndrome has been called celiac sprue, celiac disease, or gluten sensitive enteropathy. (Nontropical sprue and idiopathic steatorrhea are other terms that have been used for this disorder in the past.) It should be noted that most of this content pertains to patients with enough damage of the intestine to be classified as having celiac sprue. Patients with gluten sensitivity without intestinal damage may not necessarily experience the signs or symptoms discussed in this section. Thus, the clinical definition of celiac sprue is a small intestinal histopathologic (abnormal under the microscope) lesion, symptoms or signs due to malabsorption of fluid, electrolytes or nutrients, and clinical improvement following a gluten-free diet. New developments in diagnosis of celiac sprue include the anti-gliadin and anti-endomysial antibody blood tests and HLA genetic tests. Populations thought to be at greatest risk for celiac sprue are mostly northern Europeans, and southern Europeans (England, Ireland, Spain, Italy). It is more frequent in women, although that may reflect more female patients seeing doctors and being diagnosed, and recent research is suggesting that the disease may not have any gender predilection. We have little information on the prevalence of celiac sprue in the Near East, Middle East, Latin America although my recent research suggests Mexican_Americans have a high prevalence; it has been thought not to occur in Africa or the Far East but this may not hold true for descendants from these lands that have immigrated to the U.S.

66. University Of Miami School Of Medicine - Glossary - Celiac Sprue Celiac sprue is also called nontropical sprue, gluten enteropathy, or adult celiacdisease. The condition is seen in people in all parts of the world. http://www.med.miami.edu/patients/glossary/art.asp?articlekey=481

Sometimes specific nutrients can cause adverse reactions. Celiac sprue (also known variously as “celiac disease,” “celiac syndrome,” “gluten-induced enteropathy,” “gluten-induced sprue,” “idiopathic steatorrhea,” and “nontropical sprue”) is a condition caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. Characterized by malabsorption of nutrients (notably fats, glucose, and vitamins) by the intestines, celiac sprue often causes diarrhea, weakness, weight loss, and disorders in the digestive system. Note: “Nontropical sprue” refers to celiac sprue that occurs outside the tropics, but “tropical sprue” is a separate condition that is common in many tropical places and thought to be caused by bacterial infection, not by an intolerance to gluten. Note: “Dermatitis herpetiformis” (DH or Duhring’s disease) , a chronic, benign skin disorder characterized by itching, rash, and an intense burning sensation, is a hereditary autoimmune disease linked with celiac sprue; if you have DH, you always have celiac sprue. Genetic factors, the condition of the immune system, and sensitivity to gluten all play roles in DH, but the precise cause of the condition remains unknown. If you are susceptible to celiac sprue, you must be aware of and avoid all foods containing gluten, which is found in any foods made with barley, oats, rye, wheat, or wheat derivatives.

Malabsorption Syndromes Topics [General] Carbohydrate Intolerance Celiac Disease Tropical Sprue ... Infection And Infestation Celiac Disease (Nontropical Sprue; Gluten Enteropathy; Celiac Sprue) A chronic intestinal malabsorption disorder caused by intolerance to gluten. Etiology and Prevalence Symptoms and Signs Celiac disease may be asymptomatic. Most patients have steatorrhea that can range from mild to massive (7 to 50 g [20 to 150 mEq] fatty acid/day). Celiac disease may cause short stature, infertility, or recurrent aphthous stomatitis or be associated with dermatitis herpetiformis, sometimes without diarrhea. There is no typical presentation. Many symptoms (eg, anemia, weight loss, bone pain, paresthesia, edema, skin disorders) are secondary to deficiency states. If overt alimentary symptoms (eg, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, distention) also occur, the diagnosis is unlikely to be missed. Without these direct clues, celiac disease may not be suspected. Symptoms are absent in children until they eat food containing gluten. The child fails to thrive; begins to pass pale, malodorous, bulky stools; and suffers painful abdominal bloating. Iron-deficiency anemia develops, and if hypoproteinemia is severe enough, edema appears. Celiac disease is strongly suspected in a pale, querulous child, with wasting of the buttocks and a potbelly, who has an adequate diet (thus ruling out protein-calorie malnutrition or kwashiorkor).

Table of Contents, Chap. 10 Diagnosis of Celiac Disease Overview: Celiac disease (also referred to as coeliac or celiac sprue nontropical sprue gluten enteropathy) occurs in patients who have developed antibodies to the gliadin fraction of gluten which is a protein found in a variety of cereals such as wheat. This results in immune-based injury to the small intestinal mucosa resulting in malabsorption. Original criteria: (1) characteristic morpholic abnormalities of small bowel mucosa while the patient is on a diet containing gluten (2) improvement or normalization of small bowel biopsy findings while the patient is on a gluten free diet (3) deterioration of small bowel morpholigc features during the gluten challenge Revised criteria (1990 Working Group of European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition): (1) characteristic morphologic abnormality of small bowel mucosa while the patient is on a diet containing gluten (2) while on a gluten-containing diet the presence of serum IgA antibodies to one or more of the following: • gliadin (AGA least sensitive but cheap) • endomysium (IgA-EMA) • tissue transglutaminase (IgA—tTG) (3) clinical remission within a few weeks of starting a gluten-free diet (4) disappearance of antibodies within a few weeks of starting a gluten-free diet False negatives for IgA antibodies may occur in patients who are IgA deficient. If there is a good clinical suspicion for celiac disease and the antibody tests are negative then the patient should have quantitation of IgA serum antibodies.

What is Celiac Disease? Celiac Disease (also known as Gluten-induced Enteropathy, Gluten-sensitive Enteropathy, Celiac Sprue, or Nontropical Sprue) is a genetically-inherited chronic intestinal malabsorption disorder caused by gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Although the precise mechanism by which gluten causes this damage is unknown, evidence suggests that the gliadin fraction of gluten causes an immune reaction, resulting in severe damage to the small intestine. A blood test can screen for antiendomysial or antigliadin antibodies, present in 70% to 90% of sprue patients, but a biopsy of the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum is the only means of achieving a definitive diagnosis. Once the villi in the small intestine are damaged, malabsorption and malnourishment occur. The prevalence of Celiac Disease in North America is generally considered to be 1 in 2000 individuals; other sources place the rate at 1 in 5000. In Europe, the disease is considered to be much more common, where as many as 1 in 300 people have Celiac Disease. Recent mass-screenings in the United States suggest that Celiac Disease may be as common in the North America as it is in Europe. The preliminary results of the University of Maryland's Multi-Center Serological Screening Study suggest that 1 in 150 Americans may have Celiac Disease.

Celiac disease (sprue) Alternative names: nontropical sprue; sprue; gluten enteropathy; celiac sprue Definition: A disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged in response to ingestion of gluten and similar proteins, which are found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains including hybrid grains such as triticale. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown. There is evidence that the disorder is inherited (its incidence is much higher in siblings). The disorder may be caused by an abnormal immune response to proteins found in grains, particularly gluten and the related protein gliadin. The intestines contain projections (called villi) which normally absorb nutrients. Celiac disease causes the villi to become flattened and lose the ability to absorb nutrients. Weight loss, anemia, and vitamin deficiencies may occur as a result of the malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract). Symptoms appear in babies within 6 months of introducing food containing gluten in the diet. The disease also affects children and adults approximately 1 out of 25,000 people. Risk factors are a genetic or familial tendency toward the disease. The disorder is most common in Caucasians of northern and southern European ancestry, and approximately 70% of reported cases occur in women.
