Celiac Disease

Coeliacs should generally avoid Bovril, as it contains yeast extract and other ingredients that may not be gluten-free. While some varieties of Bovril may be labeled gluten-free, it's essential to check the packaging for specific gluten-free certification. Always consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized advice.

In a person with coeliac disease, the villi in the small intestine are flattened and damaged due to an immune response triggered by gluten, leading to a reduction in their surface area. This damage impairs nutrient absorption, resulting in various gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. In contrast, a healthy person's villi are finger-like projections that are intact and well-formed, facilitating optimal nutrient absorption. This structural difference is key in diagnosing and understanding the implications of coeliac disease.

Emulsifiers typically contain molecules that have both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, allowing them to stabilize mixtures of oil and water. Common examples of emulsifiers include lecithin, mono- and diglycerides, and polysorbates. These substances help to prevent the separation of emulsions, making them essential in various food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Oat germ oil is generally considered gluten-free, as it is derived from oats, which do not contain gluten themselves. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing, so it's crucial for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease to ensure the product is labeled gluten-free. Always check for certifications or consult with a healthcare professional before trying new products.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—leads to damage in the small intestine. This condition triggers an immune response that damages the villi, small finger-like projections that absorb nutrients, resulting in malabsorption and various gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. Symptoms may include diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. The only effective treatment is strict adherence to a gluten-free diet.

A transglutaminase antibody test result of negative (4.6) typically indicates that you are unlikely to have celiac disease, as positive results usually suggest an immune response associated with the condition. However, diagnosis of celiac disease involves more than just antibody tests; it may require additional testing and a biopsy of the small intestine. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and interpretation of test results.

High levels of IgG and IgA antibodies to brewer's yeast suggest an immune response to this specific yeast, indicating possible sensitivity or intolerance, but not necessarily an active allergy. Negative results for celiac disease and Candida indicate that there is no autoimmune response related to gluten or an overgrowth of Candida in the body. This combination of results may point to a non-celiac gluten sensitivity or a localized immune response to the brewer's yeast itself. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive interpretation and potential dietary adjustments.

Narrowing of the celiac artery, also known as celiac artery stenosis, is a condition where the celiac artery, which supplies blood to the stomach, liver, and spleen, becomes constricted. This narrowing can lead to reduced blood flow to these organs, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive issues, particularly after eating. It can be caused by atherosclerosis, compression by surrounding structures, or other vascular abnormalities. Diagnosis often involves imaging studies, and treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical interventions to restore proper blood flow.

Natural Light beer is primarily made from water, barley malt, hops, and yeast. It does not contain wheat as an ingredient, making it a suitable choice for those avoiding wheat for dietary reasons. However, it's always best to check the label or consult the manufacturer for specific ingredient information, as formulations can vary.

A cancer patient on chemotherapy can generally take supplements or medications, but it's essential to consult with their healthcare provider first. For someone with celiac disease, any medication or supplement must be gluten-free to avoid adverse reactions. It's crucial for both patients to discuss their specific situations with their medical team to ensure safety and avoid any potential interactions or complications.

Yes, individuals with celiac disease can typically eat sweet corn as it is naturally gluten-free. However, there may be a risk of cross-contamination if the sweet corn has been processed or prepared in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products. It is important for individuals with celiac disease to always check labels for potential gluten contamination and to ensure that the sweet corn they are consuming is certified gluten-free.

In the medical field, "GAINT" typically refers to a clinical assessment tool used for evaluating gait abnormalities in patients. It focuses on various parameters such as walking speed, stride length, and balance to identify potential issues that may indicate underlying health conditions. Understanding a patient's gait can aid in diagnosing neurological disorders, musculoskeletal problems, and other health concerns. It is essential for developing targeted treatment plans and rehabilitation strategies.

In short, no. Lecithin is a type of fatty substance which occurs in plant and animal tissues. As the name suggests soy lecithin is derived from the soy bean. It is safe for people who have celiac disease to have it. However, people with an allergy to soy should avoid it.

Yes, gluten can be digested by the body. However, some individuals may have gluten intolerance or celiac disease, in which case they may experience difficulty in digesting gluten, leading to symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, and diarrhea.

Common symptoms of celiac disease include digestive issues like diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain, as well as fatigue, weight loss, and skin rashes. Some individuals may also experience nutrient deficiencies due to malabsorption.

Celiac disease itself doesn't directly cause cancer, but it's associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancer if not managed properly. The most common cancer associated with untreated celiac disease is intestinal lymphoma, specifically enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), which affects the small intestine. Additionally, celiac disease is linked to an increased risk of other gastrointestinal cancers such as esophageal cancer and small bowel adenocarcinoma. However, following a strict gluten-free diet can significantly reduce these risks.

We can consider all cats as having Celiac Disease. As obligate carnivores, they do not have the enzymes to digest grains and extract any nutrition. So, the cat simply becomes fat, stresses their pancreas, and will become prone to diabetes.

Cats do best on grain-free foods. Most canned foods do not have grains, but check the labels. Even rice is not doing the cat any good; it is an empty starch.

Dry foods are notoriously full of corn, which many cats are allergic to, and wheat gluten, which is a form of protein a cat cannot digest. Look for "grain free" varieties.

While dogs are omnivores, grains can cause them problems, too. This is not what they eat in nature. After all, no pioneer father came back to the cabin, saying "Those wolves have gotten into the wheat field again!"

It can be upsetting to see how much these more nutritious foods cost. But since they satisfy a pet's hunger, our pets will eat less of these foods. They will not have to go to the vet for bowel and bladder problems caused by their foods, and they will be far less likely to develop a chronic illness from lack of proper nutrition.

Yes. While most beers and ales use barley as the basis of fermentation. Barley is a member of the wheat family. Hefenwiesen beer is specifically made with wheat and barley, and other beers and ales may also use wheat in varying quantities to bring out different qualities of the brew. Generally all beers and ales contain gluten from either wheat, barley or oats.

No, legumes do not contain gluten.

Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Yes, but use gluten free bread products with them.

You can not get vodka in the UK that has a high enough percentage to be remotely flammable. Try it for yourself

You hare better off using something like Absinthe that is 70% that is more likely to light.

Symptoms of a wheat allergy or wheat intolerance (not exhaustive by any means): * Arthritis * Bloated stomach * Chest pains * Depression or mood swings * Diarrhoea * Eczema * Feeling dizzy or faint * Joint and muscle aches and pains * Nausea or vomiting * Palpitations * Psoriasis * Skin rashes * Sneezing * Suspected irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)/similar effects * Swollen throat or tongue * Tiredness and lethargy * Unexplained cough * Unexplained runny nose * Watery or itchy eyes See http://www.wheat-free.org/wheat-allergy.html

Cannola oil, or virgon olive oil seafood is best cooked at high temperatures so it's best to use oils that can take the heat. peanut oil is an eg of one as well as olive oil.

Certain self administered tests can be done and interpreted by any layman. The classic thermometer is a device used to take the body temperature. Another is the drug store blood pressure cuff. One can take one's blood pressure to keep check on certain conditions such as high blood pressure.

These simple measures will help doctors because the baseline of these tests can be very closely monitored by the patient who can call if the result is abnormal.
