    Celiac.com 09/28/2017 - Celiac Disease is a global disease and affects almost 0.7% of the world's population. In India, researchers estimate that celiac disease affects about six to eight million Indians. Rates in the north India community are 1 in 100.

    In a bid to discuss and explore the best ways to address the challenges faced by patients with celiac disease and the way forward, the 17th International Celiac Disease Symposium (ICDS 2017) was held for the first time in Asia from the 8th to the 10th of September 2017.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    ICDS offers a platform for researchers, gastroenterologists, clinical scientists, nutritionists, and other relevant industry leaders from across the globe to gather and address common challenges faced by patients living with celiac disease.

    Highlights of this event included keynote lectures, theme-based symposia, and debates as also sessions reflecting joint interests and needs of scientists, clinicians, nutritionists, and patients. In addition to discussions of treatment and management of celiac disease, ICDS 2017 also addressed ways to increase awareness among health care professionals and the general public about the disease,

    The conference also offered presentations on team-based management of patients with celiac disease, proper counseling and supervision of patients, training of dietitians in the management of celiac patients, industrial production of reliable and affordable gluten-free food, and food labeling for gluten contents.

    The symposium was organized by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in association with the Indian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG), International Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (ISSCD), and the Asia-Pacific Association of Gastroenterology (APAGE).

    Celiac.com 04/02/2014 - We hear lots of talk about the burgeoning market for gluten-free foods, but there is also plenty of confusion over what we are talking about when we talk about the gluten-free food market.
    So, what do we mean when we talk about the 'gluten-free food market?'
    Actually, the definition can vary depending on who's answering the question.
    Major research firms are important players in calculating market information and selling those calculations to commercially interested players, so their definition of the gluten-free market carries a good deal of weight in the business sector.
    However, a number of major research firms each calculate the size of the market a bit differently.
    The Mintel company, for example, employs the broadest definition, including...

    Celiac.com 05/01/2014 - While estimates indicate that about 1% of the world's population is affected by celiac disease, it is thought to be uncommon in both India and Asia. However, very little study has been done on celiac disease in Asian nations.
    A team of researchers recently set out to estimate rates of celiac disease in the Indian population. The research team included G.K. Makharia, A.K. Verma, R. Amarchand, S. Bhatnagar, P. Das, A. Goswami, V. Bhatia, V. Ahuja, S. Datta Gupta, and K. Anand. They are affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology and Human Nutrition at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, India.
    For their cross sectional study, the team estimated rates of celiac disease in urban and rural populations in the National Capital Region in...

    Celiac.com 12/18/2015 - Flour is a major global business, and flours of all kinds constitute a major part of the growing global food industry. Global flour markets are directly impacted by the growing processed food industry. Recent years have seen a notable expansion of the global flour market in terms of increased global demand and production capacity.
    Fueled by changing customer preference, increased health concerns related to high-protein flours, rising urbanization, and per-capita income of the global population, Transparency Market Research expects the global flour market, valued at USD 182.66 billion in 2013, to reach 183,100.0 kilo tons in the next five years, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% to top USD 245.82 billion by 2020.
    One of the big drivers of flour market growth is the...

    What if Fad Gluten-free Diets Aren't so Fad After All?
    Celiac.com 02/15/2017 - There's been a lot of talk in the media and among researchers about the large numbers of people who adopt a gluten-free diet without a celiac disease diagnosis. Many of these dieters are regarded with a bit of suspicion. The question areises as to whether gluten was causing them any problems that could be improved by a gluten-free diet. Most have been regarded as simple fad dieters.
    Well, what if the gluten-free fad isn't such a fad after all? What if many of those without celiac disease who eat gluten-free are actually gaining some heretofore undiscovered benefits?
    That's the intriguing possibility raised by the latest study from the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Joseph Murray, and his colleagues at the forefront of research in celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Dr...

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...
