In celiac disease the gastrointestinal tract is the primary target organ; however systemic disease is an important consequence of cereal grain ingestion in many patients. We think that the people diagnosed with celiac disease are a sub-population of a much larger group with gluten allergy. The classic presentation of Celiac Disease is chronic diarrhea, with abdominal bloating, sometimes pain, weight loss, iron deficiency and other evidence of nutrient malabsorption. The disease is immune mediated. Proteins in the cereal grains are responsible for the disease. The suspect group of proteins are called "Gluten." Gluten is a mixture of individual proteins, classified in two groups, the Prolamines and the Glutelins. The most troublesome component of Gluten is thought to be the prolamine, Gliadin. The Alpha Nutrition Program is gluten-free and is recommended as the best diet revision strategy for anyone with diagnosed celiac disease, or any person with symptoms suggestive of gluten allergy.

See Formula Ingredients Alpha Nutrition Programs Foods made with wheat are staples in North American and European diets. Unfortunately, wheat and its close relatives, barley, rye and oats have proved to be a problem in the diets of many of our patients. Allergy develops to proteins in these grains known as "gluten". Celiac Disease is the best-recognized form of gluten allergy. Wheat Disease Whole grains are popular foods but there is a hitch. The bad news is that wheat disease ranks second only to milk disease when we review the experience of our patients with celiac disease, irritable bowel, arthritis and other expressions of the delayed patterns of food allergy. The four cereal grains, wheat, rye, oats and barley contain similar proteins that are participate in a variety of diseases - the proteins are called "gluten" and act by exciting immune responses in the gastrointestinal tract and downstream in the rest of the body. The significance of other problems in the grain supply remains to be defined. These include contamination with pesticides, preservatives, and molds such as ergot and aspergillus. Alpha Nutrition excludes cereal grains because of the high incidence of observed problems with cereal grain ingestion.

However, Swedish researchers report that these patients have only slightly higher cancer risks than people without these conditions. Furthermore, 10 years after the initial hospitalization for celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiforms, the increased cancer risk disappeared. For the full story, click here.

    Extractions: Apr 2002 The small bowel has many roles, one of which is to absorb nutrients from our food. Celiac disease (CD) arises when the lining of the small bowel becomes damaged from exposure to gluten , the protein found in oats, barley, rye and wheat. The small bowel becomes unable to absorb water and nutrients, causing a number of different symptoms. Why does a child get CD? First, the disease arises only after long term exposure to gluten. Second, there may be a genetic predisposition toward a "sensitive" small bowel lining. Third, certain environmental insults may make the lining more susceptible to injury from gluten, such as surgery on the gastrointestinal tract or a gastrointestinal infection. CD is much more common in Europe than in the US for reasons that aren't clear. (Some doctors feel that CD is just as common in the US as in Europe but is underdiagnosed in the US.) Whatever the initial reason, the gluten causes an immunologic response in the lining of the small bowel: the surface folds shrink and flatten and a "malabsorption" condition occurs. The signs of CD are varied, since the condition may be mild in some and severe in others. The majority of children with CD have what's called "failure to thrive:" lack of growth of weight, and sometimes height as well. Most have diarrhea, and/or vomiting. Children with CD are irritable and usually have a decreased appetite. The stools may be foul smelling, and in occasional cases, may not be loose but big and bulky. A small number of children will develop severe diarrhea leading to dehydration. The children who have had CD for several months will have bloating of the stomach and a loss of muscle mass. If not treated, malabsorption will continue to cause undernourishment and all the signs and symptoms that accompany it.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> As a result of their recent study, published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology in October, a group of Medical College of Wisconsin researchers are recommending that children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) be tested for celiac disease (CD). In their report on young patients with diabetes, P.C. Lee, PhD, Elaine Parton, RN, CPNP, Steven Werlin, MD and David T. Wyatt, MD concluded that the incidence of celiac disease among American children with IDDM is likely higher than previously thought. The researchers tested diabetic patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for signs and symptoms of celiac disease and found that at least 4.6% of the children who participated in the study suffered from CD, while even more had indicators that could be early signs of the disease. (Atiye N. Aktay, MD, currently practicing in Turkey, and Vijay Kumar, PhD, of the State University of New York, were also members of the research team.) Celiac disease is a genetic digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have CD cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When they do eat gluten-containing foods, their immune system responds and damages the lining of the small intestine. The damaged areas can’t absorb nutrients properly, and CD sufferers become malnourished no matter how much they eat.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. Specifically, tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, on the lining of the small intestine are lost. Nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream through these villi. Without villi, a person becomes malnourished regardless of the quantity of food eaten. Because the body's own immune system causes the damage, celiac disease is considered an autoimmune disorder. However, it is also classified as a disease of malabsorption because nutrients are not absorbed. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease is a genetic disease, meaning that it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggered or becomes active for the first time after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

    Extractions: An intolerance to the gluten, found in wheat, barley, oats, and rye, affects many people worldwide forcing sufferers to avoid foods that contain these grains at all costs. This intolerance, Celiac Disease, is the most common genetic disease in Europe. Although an estimated one in 4,700 Americans have been diagnosed with this disease, a study from the Red Cross suggests that as many as 1 in every 250 Americans may have it.

However, it should not be confused with a food allergy or hypersensitivity to food products. Celiac Sprue is an inherited cell-mediated hypersensitivity involving a tissue-bound immune cell , often delayed, reaction to a food allergen such as wheat, rye, oats, or barley. Gluten , a protein in these grains, is thought to be the offending agent. The onset of the disease has no age restriction but there are many hypotheses related to possible causative factors. In some adults, symptoms leading to a diagnosis of Celiac Sprue have been observed to appear following severe emotional stress, pregnancy, an operation or a

    Extractions: (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).

    Extractions: celiac@look.ca Definition Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment ... Frequently Asked Questions Celiac Disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for good health. Although statistics are not readily available, it is estimated that 1 in 200 persons in Canada are affected by Celiac Disease. A wide range of symptoms may be present. Symptoms may appear together or singularly in children or adults. In general, the symptoms of untreated Celiac Disease indicate the presence of malabsorption due to the damaged small intestine. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, tritical, barley, and oats. In the case of wheat, gliadin has been isolated as the toxic fraction. It is the gluten in the flour that helps bread and other baked goods bind and prevents crumbling. This feature has made gluten widely used in the production of many processed and packaged foods.

    Extractions: Great Plains Laboratory Getting Tested In the medical disorder called celiac disease, there is a reduced ability to digest wheat and there is often a direct toxic effect of gluten on the lining of the intestine called the intestinal mucosa. Symptoms may include diarrhea, failure to thrive, short stature, discolored dental enamel, depression, premature degeneration of the nervous system, seizures, arthritis, nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorption, and abdominal distension Long eyelashes, premature balding, and clubbing of the fingers are also commonly reported in this disease. In celiac disease, there is also an increase in the blood of antibodies to wheat. There is also a marked increase in antibodies called endomysial antibodies. The exact nature of the endomysial antigen has recently been identified as the tissue transglutaminase enzyme.

    Extractions: When people with celiac disease consume gluten, the absorptive villi in the small intestine are damaged, preventing the absorption of many important nutrients. The long-term effect of untreated celiac disease can be life threatening. However, with a completely gluten-free diet, the intestinal lining will heal completely allowing most patients to live a normal, healthy life as long as they remain free of gluten in their diet. Even a small amount of gluten can cause symptoms to reoccur.
