    Caption: Image: Cassava Kitchen
    Celiac.com 04/15/2024 - "Over the years, Cassava Kitchen has become a tribute to my roots (I grew up consuming cassava almost daily in my home country, Suriname), a token of appreciation for my upbringing (guided by the mantra 'Family First'), and a reflection of my entrepreneurial journey (recognizing that Cassava Kitchen wouldn't be where it is today without the unwavering support of my entire family)." --Valdiny Pabbruwe (Founder Cassava Kitchen) 
    Much of what is in the Company's DNA stems from the learnings of the founder's uncle, Robert, a biologist and food scientist extraordinaire.

    Regular Monitoring of Gluten Free Diet Compliance is Critical to Ensuring Intestinal Recovery
    Caption: Image: GlutenDetect
    Celiac.com 04/16/2024 - The GIP technology has been a boon for our understanding of celiac disease and especially the frequency of inadvertent exposures, and their effects on intestinal recovery.  GIP testing is currently in use in virtually all clinical trials for celiac therapeutics to monitor trial subjects and is the subject of dozens of scientific publications.  Gluten Detect, the at-home version of the GIP test has allowed people with celiac disease the ability to self-monitor their gluten free dietary compliance to ensure they are not getting exposed to gluten inadvertently, and to provide positive reinforcement for all the work and cost that they are incurring with the gluten free diet.
    Even with all the impressive benefits that Gluten Detect and the GIP technology in general can provide, when trying to manage a ...

    Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria Reduce Immunoreactivity of Gluten Peptides
    Celiac.com 04/15/2024 - People with celiac disease face challenges in managing their diet due to the presence of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For those with celiac disease, consuming gluten can trigger immune reactions, leading to symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort and damage to the small intestine. 
    A research team set out to evaluate the ability of selected probiotic strains to hydrolyze immunoreactive gliadin peptides and to identify peptidase-encoding genes in the genomes of the most efficient strains. 
    The team included Joanna Leszczyńska, Agnieszka K. Szczepankowska, Iwona Majak, Dorota Mańkowska, Beata Smolińska, Sylwia Ścieszka, Anna Diowksz, Bożena Cukrowska, and Tamara Aleksandrzak-Piekarczyk.

    Celiac.com 04/11/2024 - Once thought to be uncommon in Asia, celiac disease has emerged as a significant health concern in recent years. Studies conducted by institutions like AIIMS have revealed that millions of people across Asian countries, including India, are living with this chronic autoimmune disorder. Despite its prevalence, a large number of individuals remain undiagnosed, highlighting the urgent need for increased awareness and improved diagnostic methods.
    Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, occurs when the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat and barley, damaging the lining of the small intestine. This damage can lead to various gastrointestinal symptoms and long-term health complications if left untreated.

    Celiac.com 04/09/2024 - Speculation about the source or cause of Napoleon's famous itch is fun, but much of the speculation seems to ignore the facts that point to the most likely answer. 
    Napoleon's autopsy revealed gastric cancer and dermatitis herpetiformis, a condition associated with celiac disease. This is a historical fact. Despite this, speculation persists among historians and others, including dermatologists at the American Academy of Dermatology, regarding the potential causes of Napoleon's chronic itch.

      Undiagnosed (and thus untreated) celiac disease is associated with a higher chance of miscarriage. The downside of continuing to eat gluten now is increased chance of miscarriage. The downside of stopping gluten now and having to restart later to get a clear, official diagnosis is that you might have worse symptoms eating gluten after being gluten...
