3. Autoimmune Disease Combination of 3 factors:
1) Genetic predisposition
Maternal antibodies produced during pregnancy cross placenta and react with fetal brain tissue
Genetic marker (human leukocyte antigen- HLA) has been identified to confirm body’s response to gluten
2) Environmental trigger
Gluten in diet
3) Loss of intestinal barrier
Gluten triggers an immune response- causing inflammation and damage to lining of the small intestine
Detected by transglutaminase (tTG) -standard test for diagnosis
Celiac Disease is the only autoimmune disease for which all three factors are known.
Autoimmune: the body views proteins from certain grains as harmful resulting in inflammation and damage to the lining of the small intestine.Autoimmune: the body views proteins from certain grains as harmful resulting in inflammation and damage to the lining of the small intestine.
4. Pathogenesis Gluten proteins disrupt the epithelial barrier in the lining of the small intestine. Sets off complex autoimmune (antigen) response, which results in destruction of surface epithelium and flattening of mucosa.1
Develops “leaky gut syndrome”
Protein called zonulin “unlocks” intestinal barrier and creates leaky gut, allowing large peptides to cross lining into blood stream2
With celiac disease, the villi may become shortened or blunted, interfering with nutrient absorption.
Zonulin: persons with Celiac disease produce higher levels of zonulin. So do people with Type 1 Diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. (per Dr. Fasano, Center for Celiac Research, Univ. of Maryland

5. Prevalence Celiac Disease- often misdiagnosed due to such variety of different symptoms- connection between conditions is not well understood.
Estimated 3 million persons in U.S. with Celiac Disease
Worldwide prevalence: 1 in 266
General population: U.S. 1 in 133
Females vs. males: 3:1
25% newly diagnosed are over 60 yrs of age
African, Hispanic and Asian-Americans 1 in 236
Genetic predisposition
First degree relatives: 1 in 22
Second degree relatives: 1 in 39
High association
Autoimmune diseases (i.e. Type 1 Diabetes) 1 in 60
Secondary Lactose Intolerance: 30-60%
Prior to the Fasano study, Celiac disease was considered to be much more rare in the U.S.
Secondary lactose intolerance is common in estimated 30-60% of those diagnosed with CD.

6. Relationship with other conditions Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH)
Osteoporosis (bone mineral density test often recommended)
Type 1 Diabetes
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Eczema
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Peripheral Neuropathy
Thyroid Disease
DH is a chronic, extremely itchy rash - medication can resolve the skin lesions associated with DH but not the intestinal issues: Thompson
Sjögren's ("SHOW-grins") syndrome is a chronic disease in which white blood cells attack the moisture-producing glands. The hallmark symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth, but it is a systemic disease, affecting many organs and may cause fatigue. (http://www.sjogrens.org/)

7. Autism and Celiac Disease Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in every 150 children in U.S. (up from 1 in 500 in 1995) per Center for Disease Control
No evidence that gluten intolerance causes autism; connection is unclear. However…
Many autistic individuals respond well to a gluten-free and casein-free diet
Leaky gut -opioid peptides (dietary casein and gluten) cross intestinal lining into bloodstream; bind to opiate receptors in brain, resulting in unmanageable behavior and sensory issues
8. Diagnosis Serologic Tests
Requires inclusion of gluten in diet before testing
Recommended: IgA EMA (immunoglobulin A endomysial antibody immunofluorescence)
Intestinal Biopsy
Used to confirm but not definitive
Food trial
Does health improve after 3 weeks of gluten-free diet?
Gluten then reintroduced to test
The clinical definition requires clinical and/or pathologic improvement following a gluten-free diet.The clinical definition requires clinical and/or pathologic improvement following a gluten-free diet.
9. Symptoms More than 200 signs and symptoms; Many have no symptoms at all
Adults- most common symptom is iron deficiency anemia that does not respond to iron therapy
Abdominal pain, bloody stools, chest pain, constipation, cough, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, dizzyness, eye discomfort and redness, foot or ankle pain, foot swelling, headaches, hip pain, knee pain, nasal congestion, nausea and vomiting, neck pain, numbness or tingling in hands, pelvic pain, shortness of breath, shoulder pain, sore throat, urinary problems, vision problems, wheezing
10. Treatment Currently, the only scientifically proven treatment for celiac
disease is
strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet.1
Elimination of all forms of wheat, rye and barley
Even small amounts of gluten can be harmful and can cause continued damage.
May need to follow temporary lactose-free diet. Focus on consumption of iron rich foods, calcium, vit.D and enriched gluten-free products (high in protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber)May need to follow temporary lactose-free diet. Focus on consumption of iron rich foods, calcium, vit.D and enriched gluten-free products (high in protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber)
11. Simple treatment not so simple Avoidance requires:
Raised awareness
Knowledge of ingredients (hidden sources of gluten)
Prevention of cross-contamination
Vigilance
Checking labels regularly, looking for ingredient changes
Inquiring about food preparation when eating away from home
Takes time and effort to become familiar with GF products and understand the challenges of avoiding gluten.Takes time and effort to become familiar with GF products and understand the challenges of avoiding gluten.
12. Gluten Includes several different grain storage proteins, or prolamins.
Wheat: gliadin
Rye: secalin
Barley: hordein
Functions:
Provides structure of dough- holding ingredients together, retaining leavening gas as it is formed
In contrast…gluten-free flours:
Mainly starches and non-sticky proteins
Cannot produce same results unless adaptations are made In contrast, most of the gluten-free flours contain mainly starches and non-sticky proteins. Cannot produce same results unless adaptations are made.In contrast, most of the gluten-free flours contain mainly starches and non-sticky proteins.

13. Grain Classification Flowering Plants
Monocots Dicots
Gramineae (Grasses) Polygonaceae Amaranthaceae
Wheat, rye, and barley are all members of the Hordeae tribe. Triticale is a cross between wheat and rye.
Dicot plants are classified pseudo-cereals, not true grain crops.Wheat, rye, and barley are all members of the Hordeae tribe. Triticale is a cross between wheat and rye.
Dicot plants are classified pseudo-cereals, not true grain crops.
14. Gluten Structure & Properties Gluten: 80% protein
High molecular weight (glutenin average MW = 3 million)
Substantial hydrogen bonding due to amino acid side chains
Intertwined network filled with water in inner spaces
Chemical structure binds water, helps in holding moisture
Gliadin and glutenin absorb about twice their weight in water
Also effective in binding lipids
2 main gluten proteins (prolamin + glutelin)
Gliadin (prolamin): sticky, extensible, low in elasticity
Glutenin (glutelin): rubbery, low extensibility, high in elasticity
Gluten controls baking quality of bread wheat flours
To follow a gluten-free diet and to understand the challenges of avoiding gluten and finding GF substitutes, it may help to know more about the properties and characteristics of gluten.
Two main solubility fractions: Gliadins and Glutenins
Prolamins-rich in proline and glutamine undergo incomplete digestion in the small intestine. The interactions of the gluten molecule allow for holding moisture but gluten also has hydrophobic regions that allow binding with lipids.
Brown: Glutenin’s elasticity plus gliadin’s stickiness combine to form gluten’s consistency which is ideal for preparing baked products.To follow a gluten-free diet and to understand the challenges of avoiding gluten and finding GF substitutes, it may help to know more about the properties and characteristics of gluten.

15. The ability of a baked product to rise is directly related to its protein content. Because wheat flour has the highest concentration of the proteins that form gluten, it yields baked projects with light, airy textures.The ability of a baked product to rise is directly related to its protein content.

Wheat (bran, germ, starch) Spelt/Dinkel are listed both ways. There has been confusion about spelt but it is a subspecies of wheat and contains gliadin so it should not be included in a gluten-free diet. Braithwaite, 2006
Hoseney: Malting is the combination of controlled germination followed by the controlled drying of a seed with the goal of producing high enzyme activity, converts starches into sugars and has characteristic flavor. Barley is the most commonly malted grain.
Maltodextrins in the U. S. are usually made from rice, corn or potato – in Europe, often made with wheat.Spelt/Dinkel are listed both ways. There has been confusion about spelt but it is a subspecies of wheat and contains gliadin so it should not be included in a gluten-free diet. Braithwaite, 2006

17. Oats Oats are often avoided-although storage protein in oats called avenin does not illicit same response as gluten
Commercial oats have risk of cross-contamination from harvesting or processing
Pure oats in moderation: not a problem for most
½ cup dry rolled oats or ¼ c dry steel-cut oats per day1
Expensive
Proposed FDA rule: Oats can be labeled GF if < 20 ppm gluten
Availability:
Specialty markets or order online Thompson: For most, uncontaminated oats appear safe to consume in moderation (1/2 cup dry rolled oats or ¼ c dry steel-cut oats per day).Thompson: For most, uncontaminated oats appear safe to consume in moderation (1/2 cup dry rolled oats or ¼ c dry steel-cut oats per day).
18. Gluten in food products Gluten often added at bakery to strengthen dough
Often 20% of flour weight1
Hamburger and hot dog buns
Produces a strong hinge
Stonger to withstand use of heavy condiments and sauces
Used to increase protein content (breakfast cereals)
Vital Gluten used as meat analog (vegetarian products, pet foods)
Binder in sausage products
2005 Per Capita consumption of wheat products: 324.6 lbs2
White bread reported to have 124,000 ppm gluten3 Avoiding gluten can be a challenge. Brown: Dried gluten, sold as vital wheat gluten, is often used to increase the protein content of flours, cereals, meat analogs, pasta, and used to manufacture simulated meat products for vegetarians.

20. Nutritional considerations Due to decreased absorption of nutrients (damage to intestinal lining), and
Lack of nutrient-fortified gluten-free products
Fiber
Look for “whole grain” versions that contain the bran layer
(i.e. Rice bran, “whole grain” brown rice pasta, sprouted grains)
Add ground flax seed to recipes
Nutrient density
Choose more nutritious ingredients such as amaranth, brown rice flour, buckwheat, flax, Montina™, nut flours, quinoa, teff and legume flours (e.g. garbanzo/chick pea, Garfava ™ and soy)
Variety is key-to maximize protein, fiber and nutrients
Nutrients of concern (focus on foods high in the following):
Calcium: May need lactase enzyme temporarily with dairy
Iron: Heme iron sources-red meats, chicken and fish, blackstrap molasses
Folate and Vitamin B-12: Look for enriched products Many foods are naturally gluten-free: fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, beef, pork, poultry, dairy, corn, rice…..pure chocolateMany foods are naturally gluten-free: fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, beef, pork, poultry, dairy, corn, rice…..pure chocolate
21. Eight Most Common Food Allergens Peanut
Tree nuts
Fish
Crustaceans
Milk
Egg
Wheat
Soy
The labeling of wheat containing ingredients will be a big help to anyone that can’t eat gluten, however wheat-free does not mean gluten-free: ingredients in a wheat-free product could still include barley or rye.The labeling of wheat containing ingredients will be a big help to anyone that can’t eat gluten, however wheat-free does not mean gluten-free: ingredients in a wheat-free product could still include barley or rye.
22. Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) Labeling requirement effective: 1/01/2006
Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
Requires label to disclose certain allergenic ingredients
Eight major food allergens
A food ingredient that contains protein derived from a major food allergen
Includes incidental additives, flavors, and colors that contain allergenic protein
In response to the public health implications of individuals with food allergies, Congress enacted the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) into law in August, 2004.
FALCPA requires labels of food products to declare certain allergenic ingredients.
This labeling requirement applies to foods that are labeled on or after January 1, 2006.
Thompson: You have to be more vigilant when considering USDA-regulated foods, such as meat or poultry products, these products need only list the common or usual names of ingredients containing wheat – FSIS is in the process of developing regulation for labeling of allergens in meat and egg products.In response to the public health implications of individuals with food allergies, Congress enacted the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) into law in August, 2004.

23. FDA Voluntary Gluten Labeling Final rule on “gluten free” labeling by August 2008
Gluten: the proteins that naturally occur in a prohibited grain and that may cause adverse health effects in persons with celiac disease
Prohibited grain: Wheat (Triticum), rye (Secale), barley (Hordeum), crossbred hybrids (e.g. triticale)
Ruling: Spelt is not GF
Threshold: less than 20 ppm
Proposal on display @ Office of the Federal Register: 72 FR 2795 GF labeling is voluntary.
According to an article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN Jan’07), Safe Gluten Threshold for Patients with Celiac Disease, ingestion of gluten should be less than 50 mg/day. (reported in ADA Times-March/April 2007)GF labeling is voluntary.

24. Preventing cross-contamination Cross-contamination can introduce gluten into gluten-free foods
Even tiny amounts can cause damage
Contaminates can be air-borne or on surface
Shopping:
Avoid purchasing staples from bulk bins
At Home:
Keep food preparation areas separate
Prepare GF foods before non-GF foods
Clean grills, cutting boards, knives, utensils, thermometers, cloths and sponges
Color-coding can help
Separate toaster, butter dish, condiments (use squeeze bottles)
Toaster bags: reusable, transparent bags for use in toasters, countertop grills, toaster ovens
Containers should be well marked and sealed
Use pure spices rather than blends
25. Gluten Free Grains, Flours, and Starches1 Amaranth
Arrowroot
Bean Flours (garbanzo, fava)
Buckwheat
Corn
Fava
Flax seed
Garbanzo beans
Garfava flour (garbanzo + fava)
Hominy
Mesquite flour
Millet
Montina
Nut flour and meats
Oats* (uncontaminated)
Peas flour
Potato flour
Potato starch
Quinoa
Rice, all forms even glutinous
Sago
Sorghum flour
Soy flour
Tapioca (manioc, cassava, yucca)
Teff (or tef) flour
Alternative grains add flavor and nutritional attributes to GF products. One ounce of teff (28 grams) provides 9% Daily Value dietary fiber and 12% iron.
Quinoa is an ancient grain, grows well in higher altitudes, including Colorado – 1 cup = 21% dietary fiber, 15% iron, 8 grams protein.Alternative grains add flavor and nutritional attributes to GF products. One ounce of teff (28 grams) provides 9% Daily Value dietary fiber and 12% iron.
Quinoa is an ancient grain, grows well in higher altitudes, including Colorado – 1 cup = 21% dietary fiber, 15% iron, 8 grams protein.
26. Alternative Grains Beyond breads: salads and main dishes
Don’t have same framework as gluten
Elasticity
Extensibility
Storage: shelf-life is often shorter than flour
Tip: Cook extra grains; freeze in small batches to thaw and use in recipes as needed
In 2007, 636 GF food products on the market
27. Gums & other binders Xanthan gum: is a polysaccharide produced by a process involving fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris.
Used as a stabilizer, binder- prevents crumbling
Yeast breads: 1 tsp. per cup of non-GF flour
Quick breads: ½ tsp. per cup of non-GF flour
Guar Gum: Isolated from guar beans
Best in baking that does not require yeast
Tapioca: plant starch derived from cassava (manioc) root
Thickener and binder
28. Baking - flour options Low-Gluten Flour: combination used is key!
Keep various mixtures on hand-refrigerate in covered containers until used.
All purpose flour blend* (general baking)
High fiber blend (breads, pancakes, snack bars, cookies)
High-protein blend (baked goods requiring elasticity (pie crust))
Self-rising blend: (muffins, scones, cakes, cupcakes)
*All Purpose Mixtures (to replace wheat flour):
1) ½ cup sorghum flour; ½ cup bean flour; 2 T. tapioca starch
2 ) ½ c. rice flour, ¼ c. tapioca starch, ¼ c. cornstarch or potato starch
3) 1 c. brown rice flour, 1 c. white rice or teff flour, 2/3 c. potato starch, 1/3 c. tapioca starch
29. Baking tips: Better results with combination of alternative flours
Use gelatin, extra egg or oil to increase moisture
Enhance flavor: add chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, extra spices
Milk products can enhance structure (cottage cheese, dry milk solids, extra eggs, evaporated milk)
Reduce grainy texture: mix rice flour or corn meal with liquid called for; bring to boil and cool before adding to recipe.
Honey or rice malt syrup can help retain moisture
Dough enhancers improve tenderness & staling resistance
Brown sugar often works better than white
Be creative! (i.e. Casserole topper: use crushed rice cakes for bread crumbs)
Dough enhancers contain lecithin from soy or eggs, ascorbic acid -
Dough enhancers contain lecithin from soy or eggs, ascorbic acid -
30. Baking tips Leavening
Starch flours need more leavening than wheat flours
ROT: use 2 tsp. baking powder per each cup of low gluten flour
If baking soda and buttermilk are used for leavening, add 1 & 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar for each ½ tsp. baking soda used (to sufficiently neutralize the acid)
For better rise, dissolve leavening in liquid before adding to other ingredients.
Pre-baking
Refrigerate low gluten products before baking –to improve texture.
Let non-yeast doughs rest for 30 minutes before baking (kneading time is shorter-no “elastic” feel)
Grease pans well (non-stick spray)
Use dull or dark pans for better browning
Time and Temperature
Bake in smaller than usual portions at lower temperature for a longer time
English muffin tins good size for bread recipes
ROT = rule of thumbROT = rule of thumb
31. High Altitude Adjustments Cannot assume that “usual” high altitude adjustments will work with gluten-free recipes
Additional adjustments may or may not be necessary
Standard recipes: adjust for gluten-free first, then experiment with altitude adjustments
Tested gluten-free recipes: try basic altitude guidelines (extra moisture, slightly less leavening, shorter rise time, etc.)
More research needed in this area (large variety of gluten-free ingredients available now)
32. Bread making and storage Add 1 to 2 T. more flour
Decrease sugar by 1 to 2 tsp.
Shorten rising time by ~10 min.
Gluten-free breads will lose moisture quickly!
To retain moisture:
Wrap product well in airtight packaging
i.e. Use wax paper in between layers
Wrap individually
Store in refrigerator
Freeze product if won’t be consumed within 3 days
Brown sugarBrown sugar
33. Retail Products GF is mainstream
GF food industry: > 25% growth annually; $700 million(2006)
Expected to top $1 billion by 2010
Ask/look for lists of gluten-free products available
Read food labels
Many cereals and grain products are labeled
Rice Chex: first mainstream GF cereal
Check out local resources
Natural food markets: some have list of all GF products
Specialty bakeries
Restaurants: many offer GF entries
Local products: Fiona’s Gluten-Free Quinoa Crunch
34. Eating away from home Some restaurants have special menus, have to request
Some available online
Call ahead and speak with manager or chef to determine what food items are GF.
Beware- oil in deep fat fryers often contaminated
Make server aware (no croutons on salad, etc.)
Ask him/her to check with cook/chef or read ingredient label if in doubt
35. Eating away from home Traveling: restaurant cards are available in 42 languages
http://www.celiactravel.com/restaurant-cards.html
Hospital: ask to speak with dietician
School: talk with teacher, cafeteria director or food service manager
Potlucks: take something filling, GF selections may be limited
36. Living a Gluten-free Lifestyle View as an opportunity to follow a healthy diet
Experiment with recipes
Focus on the wide array of GF foods
Try out new GF foods carefully
Take advantage of growing number of resources, cook books & support groups
Attitude is important
