Quick Start Diet Guide for Celiac Disease. Auburn, WA: Gluten Intolerance Group. August 2007. 2 p.

This brochure familiarizes readers with the basics of a gluten-free (GF) diet, as used to treat people with celiac disease. Designed for people recently diagnosed with celiac disease, the brochure presents a quick and simple view of the GF diet, to be used as a safe and temporary survival tool. Even small amounts of gluten in foods may affect those with celiac disease and cause health problems. Gluten is the generic name for certain types of protein found in the common cereal grains wheat, barley, rye, and their common derivatives. The brochure covers allowed and not-allowed grains and flours, the importance of reading food labels, the use of oats in the GF diet, alcohol and vinegar, not confusing “wheat free” to mean “gluten free,” contamination in food preparation, other adverse reactions that may be confused with celiac disease, the importance of a positive attitude, and the need to undergo diagnostic testing before removing gluten from the diet. One sidebar lists common foods that may contain gluten.

Use Of Endoscopic Procedures in the Management Of Celiac Disease. Gastroenterology and Hepatology. 3(7): 518-519. July 2007.

This article from a series on advances in endoscopy answers common clinical questions about the use of endoscopic procedures in the management of celiac disease (CD). CD causes incomplete digestion of gluten, which leaves large toxic fragments that enter the lamina propria, probably during infections, and set off an immune reaction. This reaction results in villous atrophy, intraepithelial lymphocytosis, and crypt hyperplasia, which are the pathologic manifestations of CD. Topics include the prevalence and pathophysiology of CD, the presenting symptoms of CD, the role of endoscopy in the screening and management of patients with CD, patient selection for endoscopic screening, the use of video capsule endoscopy with or without double-balloon enteroscopy, and research topics currently under study on this topic. Endoscopy plays an important role in CD because the gold standard for diagnosis is duodenal biopsy. Patients undergo biopsy because they have abnormal serologic tests, because they have an abnormality of the duodenal mucosa noted at endoscopy, or simply because biopsy is often performed as a matter of course during endoscopy.

What I Need to Know About Celiac Disease. Bethesda, MD: National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, 2007.

Celiac disease is a condition in which a person cannot eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, or barley. This brochure explains celiac disease, its causes, and how it can be managed. Written in nontechnical language, the brochure covers a definition of celiac disease, how serious the disease can be, the symptoms of celiac disease, diagnostic tests that might be done to confirm the condition or determine the cause of the problem, and treatment options. Celiac disease harms the small intestine and people with untreated celiac disease cannot get the nutrients they need. Celiac disease is diagnosed by blood tests and a biopsy of the small intestine. Treatment is a gluten-free diet, which must be followed for the person's lifetime. Readers are encouraged to work closely with a dietitian to learn about and create a healthful, tasty meal plan. The booklet also includes a summary of the information provided, a glossary of terms with pronunciation guide, a list of resources where readers can get more information, a list of acknowledgements, and a description of the Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign (www.celiac.nih.gov). A final section briefly describes the goals and work of the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC). The brochure is illustrated with line drawings designed to clarify the concepts discussed in the text. One chart summarizes allowed foods, foods to avoid, and processed foods that may contain wheat, barley, or rye. 3 figures. 1 table.

You Can Have a Healthy Pregnancy: GF Diet, Good Prenatal Care Are Key. Gluten-Free Living. p 22-23. Fall 2007.

This article helps women with celiac disease understand how to have a healthy pregnancy while still caring for their nutritional and dietary needs. The author stresses that women recently diagnosed with celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, would be better off following a gluten-free diet until their intestinal villi are healed, before becoming pregnant. Women with celiac disease have to pay special attention to folic acid and the B vitamins because these nutrients can be lacking in gluten-free foods that are not enriched. Readers are encouraged to work closely with their health care providers for detailed prenatal care, including nutritional approaches. The author reassures readers that celiac disease itself should have no impact on the fetus and a baby born to a woman with well-controlled celiac disease has no increased risk of any health problems. Another section of the article notes that pregnancy itself can sometimes be a trigger for celiac disease. One sidebar summarizes four steps to a healthy pregnancy; another sidebar reports some research findings of pregnancy complications in women with celiac disease who are undiagnosed and thus being treated. 1 figure.
