• A new article is in the World Journal of Gastroenterologpublished, about Celiac disease " Medical News Today" ; A research article published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this problem. Hungarian researchers from the University of Debrecen in Debrecen and the Semmelweis University in Budapest have shown in a well-characterized CD cohort that the anti-glycan antibody positivity is a common feature of celiac disease at the time of diagnosis and is lost after long-term gluten-free diet.
  

1. The symptoms can diverse being, by the gluten allergy. One gluten free diet with children, the complaint of a bone disease ; However, evidence suggests that a gluten-free diet (GFD) promotes a rapid increase in bone mineral density that leads to complete recovery of bone mineralization in children. A GFD improves, although rarely normalizes, bone mineral density in adults. Children may attain normal peak bone mass if the diagnosis is made and treatment is given before puberty, thereby preventing osteoporosis in later life.

2. Celiac disease causes intestinal damage that's visible on a biopsy. Gluten sensitivity, meanwhile, may cause some of celiac disease's gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms -- diarrhea, gas, bloating, vomiting, and constipation -- but not intestinal damage. There's no evidence that gluten sensitivity will one day turn into celiac disease, so avoiding gluten is more about reducing present symptoms than preventing future damage.

1. What is a wheat allergy, what for symptoms has the wheat allergy?
   
2. People with a wheat allergy have an abnormal immune system response to at least one of the proteins that exist in wheat. It is one of the most common childhood food allergies, but may affect adults as well. The person with a wheat allergy has developed a specific antibody to a wheat protein, and sometimes more than one.

5. Another topic too the wheat allergy and the RA should not even be familiar to anyone! ; There appears to be an association of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis (ARA) both with GSE and gluten allergies[25]. ARA in GSE/CD may be secondary to tTG autoimmunity. In a recent study in Turkey, 8 of 20 ARA patients had wheat reactivities on the RAST tests.

7. Study " Arthritis Today " ; Most studies have focused on antibodies (proteins that attack and destroy foreign substances) in the blood, but that focus may have been wrong. Food-related antibodies may show up in the gut – rather than the blood – of people with RA, and that’s just where researchers at the University of Oslo, Norway, looked.

2. A new study in human cells has singled out a molecule that specifically directs immune cells to develop the capability to produce an allergic response. The signaling molecule, called thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), is key to the development of allergic diseases such as asthma, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and food allergy.

2. Medical News Today ; The study identifies TSLP as a switch that causes the development of the allergic response in people and suggests that this molecule may be a potential therapeutic target to treat and prevent allergic diseases.
   
   

1. Although, because the NHS allergy services are so poor, accurate figures for the number of people who are truly allergic to food are hard to come by, it is unlikely to be more than 5% of the population at the most. Since wheat allergy is relatively rare compared to, say, milk or peanut allergy, this would mean that there were a very small number indeed of people who are genuinely ‘allergic’ to wheat.

1. The study also shows that there is substantial evidence to indicate a shared risk between the gene associated with coeliac disease and many other common chronic immune mediated diseases. Previously Professor van Heel had identified an overlap between coeliac disease and type 1 diabetes risk regions, as well as coeliac disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

1. The hunter-gatherers who inhabited the southern coast of Scandinavia 4,000 years ago were lactose intolerant. This has been shown by a new study carried out by researchers at Uppsala University and Stockholm University. The study, which has been published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, supports the researchers’ earlier conclusion that today’s Scandinavians are not descended from the Stone Age people in question but from a group that arr

1. Medical News Today " Food Allergies May Not Be As Common As We Think " The researchers found that: Although elimination diets are the basis of therapy, they identified only 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an elimination diet. "Many authorities would consider RCTs of elimination diets for serious life-threatening food allergy reactions unnecessary and unethical; however, it should be recognized that such studies are generally lacking for other potential food allergic conditions ..

Eine glutenfreie Diät (GFD) ist Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Behandlung von Zöliakie-Patienten. Manche Patienten empfinden eine solche Diät jedoch als stark einschränkend, gesellschaftlich peinlich oder wenig schmackhaft. Laut Berichten internationaler Forscher befolgen 30-90 % der Betroffenen eine strikte GFD.
