Can a person with celiac disease eat flaxseed?
Asked by Wiki User
No, there isn't any gluten in flax. Flax is a member of the Class Magnoliosida, and the gluten producing cereal grasses, including wheat, barlery and rye, are from the Class Liliosida. Certainly circumscription may cause some discrepancy in the placement of the plants in any taxonomic system, but as to gluten content, some plants have the composite protein, and some don't. And flax doesn't.
Who discovered Celiac?
Asked by Wiki User
The Roman Physician, Galen, sometimes known as Aretaeus of Cappadocia, in the latter half of the second century AD.
The text was translated into English in 1856 by Francis Adams, and the Celiac portion excerpted and published separately along with original descriptions by Samuel Gee in 1888.
The specific grains involved were not identified until 1950, by a Dutch professor named Dicke.

Does malt flavoring contain milk?

"Malt flavoring" is a derivative of barley, and therefore unsafe for celiacs to consume.
Can you smoke marijuana with Celiac Disease?
Asked by Wiki User
There are no medical journals or studies that I was able to find linking cannabis causally to Celiac Disease. I did, however, find a wealth of knowledge of ways that cannabis can beneficially treat symptoms of Celiac Disease.
"Marijuana can be used to treat many of the symptoms of celiac disease that are qualifying medical conditions under state medical marijuana laws. Marijuana "cools the gut." It slows down the muscle contractions that move food through the stomach and intestines and reduces the secretion of liquid into the intestines associated with diarrhea (3). Marijuana also controls the muscle spasms associated with diarrhea. It also increases appetite and can offset the inefficiency in the celiac's ability to absorb nutrients from the food he/she eats.
Constituents in marijuana called cannabinoids interact with receptors (called CB1 receptors) in the enteric nervous system (the part of the nervous system that directly controls the gastrointestinal system) and with CB1 receptors in the brain. The cannabinoids in marijuana that contribute to its ability to treat the symptoms of celiac disease include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). People with celiac disease should use marijuana strains that contain relatively high concentrations of both of these constituents. Active celiac disease causes the number of CB1 receptors in the small intestines to increase (6) as the body seeks to counteract the consequences of gluten-dependent inflamation. THC binds to CB1 receptors on cells in the gut and brain and acts as an agonist to inhibit emptying of the stomach and transit of food through the intestines (7,8). CBD acts on CB2 receptors on immune cells to reduce inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (4). CBD has little effect on intestinal motility on its own, but it synergizes the effect of THC (5)."

Does barley malt contain wheat gluten?
Asked by Wiki User
No, there is gluten in barley.
But interestingly, its different gluten to that in wheat.
Current research on gluten intolerance (and research on beer brewing) is looking at using barley components (protease) to help in the digestion of irritant wheat glutens. Experiments in rats are looking promising but extension of that to humans could take a decade.
Are rye oats wheat and barley the same?
Asked by Wiki User
No, despite confusion due to their similarities, barley and farro are not the same thing. They can be substituted for each other in some recipes, though. It is hard to define what farro is even though it is a type of wheat, but it is considered closer in flavor and consistency to the grain, spelt.
