CELIAC DISEASE A PRIMER FOR SCHOOL NUTRITION
What is Celiac Disease? • Inherited, Autoimmune Disorder • Permanent Intolerance to Gluten in WHEAT, RYE AND BARLEY • Also referred to as celiac sprue
WHAT IS GLUTEN? • THE PORTION OF THE PROTEIN IN FLOUR THAT FORMS THE STRUCTURE OF DOUGH
SCOPE OF DISEASE • 2.2 million Americans afflicted-over 10,000 children diagnosed annually * • Affects 1 in 133 Americans • 97% go undiagnosed. Celiacs are at greater risk of GI cancer and particularly lymphoma *Dr. Alessio Fasano, University of Maryland-Baltimore Center for Celiac Research in A Gluten Free Solution, FoodService Director, September 15, 2008, p. 50-51.
DIAGNOSIS • Initial Blood Tests • If serology is positive, a biopsy of small intestine is the definitive test • NO CURE: person must strictly avoid food products, medicines, vitamins and even glue on envelopes that may have gluten
MECHANISM OF ACTION • Body attacks normal tissue resulting in damage to lining of small intestinal villi, the tiny hairlike projections that line inside of small intestine. • Villi contain blood vessels which absorb nutrients • Villi increase area for absorption of nutrients • Digested nutrients are carried away by circulating blood • If villi are damaged, vitamins, minerals, calcium, carbohydrates, protein, and fats are not absorbed well
Some may be asymptomatic Diarrhea Short Stature Iron Deficiency Anemia Lactose Intolerance Irritability (common in children) Mood Swings (common in children) Abdominal Pain Irritable Bowel Osteoporosis Skin rash-very itchy with blisters SYMPTOMS
TREATMENT • GLUTEN FREE DIET • ELIMINATE ALL WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY AND THEIR DERIVATIVES • MAY TAKE 6-12 MONTHS FOR INTESTINE TO HEAL
WHAT ABOUT OATS? • Oats may not be harmful to a celiac patient; however, oats may be cross-contaminated with wheat in the milling process
FOOD LABELING LAWS • Under the 2006 Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Act, wheat protein or a derivative must be identified, even if used in small amounts • The law does not address the use of barley, rye or oats • Check with manufacturer if in doubt
USDA has given recent clarification on a specific case for an individual child: …if the physician, in the documentation for special dietary accommodations, identifies celiac as a disability, then the school must make the accommodations for a disabled student Supt. Reg. Memo #8. October 11, 2002
SCHOOL NUTRITION PROGRAMS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES • Determine if the student has an IEP or 504 plan • Discuss accommodations with the school division special education supervisor and/or nurse supervisor if necessary • Consult with a Registered Dietitian if family is working with one through their doctor
Meeting Meal Requirements • If following a physician’s orders, foods do not have to meet the same standard as a regular component-for example, bread doesn’t have to weigh 1 oz.
Rochester MN Public Schools • GF menu for 5 years-on web site • Found from surveys with kids/parents that sliced bread was least liked item • Buy locally • Modifications include: chicken nuggets (cornflake crumbs, GF chocolate chip cookie (school made)
AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION-RECOMMENDATIONS • Separate Fryers or Clean Oil if Breaded Items are Fried in Same Vats as Non-Breaded • Use Separate Jars of Peanut Butter, Jelly, Mayonnaise to Avoid Wheat/Bread Crumbs in Jar • Clean and Sanitize Counters, Cutting Boards, Cooking Utensils, Pans after EACH use and BEFORE Cooking Gluten Free Products • Use Separate Colanders for gluten free products
