    Celiac Rates in Scotland Doubled in Just Five Years

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 01/22/2016 - The number of children with gluten intolerance in one part of Scotland has more than doubled in just five years, according to a new survey.

    Photo: CC--Moyan BrennThe results of the survey, which were presented at a major meeting of children's health experts, indicate that the number of children diagnosed with celiac disease in the Lothian health region rose sharply between 2010 and 2015.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Between 2010 and 2014, data from the Royal Hospital for Sick Children revealed a total of 168 patients under the age of 16 with celiac disease, with 30 per cent of these diagnosed in 2014, compared to just 12.5 per cent in 2010.

    Statistics show 21 cases in 2010, a number which rises to 34 in 2012 and 49 by 2014.

    Doctors have not yet determined if the rise in celiac cases in Lothian is due to better disease awareness, and more stringent diagnostic techniques. They will undoubtedly be following up to determine the likely cause of the rise in celiac cases.

    Meanwhile, they are urging doctors and clinicians to do more to spot celiac cases early, so as to help patients avoid possibly serious celiac-related complications as they age.

    Is it the chemicals that they are putting on the wheat?

    In the US, after 2008-10 there was a soaring rate of cases attributed to awareness. I don't think it is all awareness. But, I watched stores having no gluten-free food in 2008-09 do a complete 180 in a couple years. Because I had gut and other problems after going on gluten-free diet, I was able to trace them to highly fluoridated water where I was living. ( Fluoride mixes with strong acid of the stomach and creates a gas that dissolves endothelium/epithelium barriers) But, the kicker was to find a new hidden source of fluoride. It is being sprayed and fumed on and into grain, beans and nuts!!!--This was decided by the 1999 Montreal Protocol that went into effect about five years later. They are using Sodium Fluoride!!! The effects were not noticed right away because the massive stores of food treated the other way had to be used up. This new SF treatment puts fluoride on the grain that mixes with stomach acid--that in turn opens up the lining of the gut right at the time you eat a piece of bread with gluten and every other barrier in its path. It was a real bright combination-- ..it will kill rodents and my guess will make a lot of small children sick or worse.

    The article title is very misleading - this is one town, and a very small sample.

    Celiac.com 07/16/2014 - Information about the number of cases and and overall rates of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in the UK have not been well studied over time, either by region or by age. Yet, this type of information is essential for determining potential causes and quantifying the impact of these diseases.
    To provide this information, a team of researchers recently conducted a population-based study to assess incidence and prevalence of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in the UK over two decades.
    The researchers included J. West, K.M. Fleming, L.J. Tata, T.R. Card, and C.J. Crooks. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health, City Hospital Campus, The University of Nottingham, the NIHR Biomedical Research Unit in...

    Celiac Disease Rates in China May be Higher than Reported
    Celiac.com 09/01/2014 - At present, the number of reported celiac disease cases in China is extremely low, and celiac disease is considered to be rare in that country. To determine the accuracy of this perspective, a team of researchers recently set out to compile an accurate estimate of rates of celiac disease in China.
    The research team included Juanli Yuan, Jinyan Gao, Xin Li, Fahui Liu, Cisca Wijmenga, Hongbing Chen, and Luud J. W. J. Gilissen. They are variously affiliated with the State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the School of Life Sciences and Food Engineering, at Nanchang University in Nanchang, China, the Department of Genetics at the University Medical Centre Groningen of University of Groningen in Groningen...

    Celiac.com 01/14/2015 - Recent epidemiological studies show that celiac disease rates are still underestimated, both in Europe and in Mediterranean regions. But how is better testing impacting higher celiac numbers in Europe?
    To get a clearer picture, a team of researchers recently set out to review the latest data on celiac rates and incidence in the European Union (EU) as of September 2014.
    The research team included E. Altobelli, R. Paduano, R. Petrocelli, and F. Di Orio. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences at the University of L'Aquila in L'Aquila, Italy, and with ASREM in Molise, Italy.
    They assessed the celiac disease rates and cases by conducting a search of PubMed for papers in English using the key words "celiac...

    Celiac.com 06/24/2015 - The Danish National Patient Registry records about 50 cases of celiac disease per 100,000 persons. This is much lower than the celiac rates reported in other Nordic countries, and many doctors have suspected that the condition is being under-diagnosed.
    So, how common is under-diagnosis of celiac disease? A team of researchers recently set out to answer that question by conducting a population-based study of Danish adults. The research team included A. Horwitz, T. Skaaby, L.L. Kårhus, P. Schwarz, T. Jørgensen, J.J. Rumessen, and A. Linneberg. They are affiliated with the Research Centre for Prevention and Health, The Capital Region at the University of Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark.
    They screened a total of 2,297 adults aged 24-76 years living in the southwestern p...

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon. Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in...

      I started another couple of jars today

      Day 2, the day after incubation, I found 1 inactive larvae after sampling both jars. By sampling I mean inspecting about 15 mls of water extracted from each jar. Day 3, nothing. Day 4, I saw one larva in each jar. Day 5, I estimate there were 15–20 larvae in each jar. Enough to inoculate. So I guess that's the answer. 5 days. Waiting l...

      Trying to read my lab results

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual...
