Celiac.com 07/17/2018 - What can fat soluble vitamin levels in newly diagnosed children tell us about celiac disease? A team of researchers recently assessed fat soluble vitamin levels in children diagnosed with newly celiac disease to determine whether vitamin levels needed to be assessed routinely in these patients during diagnosis.
The researchers evaluated the symptoms of celiac patients in a newly diagnosed pediatric group and evaluated their fat soluble vitamin levels and intestinal biopsies, and then compared their vitamin levels with those of a healthy control group.
The research team included Yavuz Tokgöz, Semiha Terlemez and Aslıhan Karul. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, the Department of Pediat...

Celiac.com 07/10/2019 - Fewer new celiac patients are being diagnosed with classical malabsorption problems. Has this fact had any impact on nutrient deficiency? A team of researchers recently set out to evaluate micronutrient deficiencies in a contemporary group of adult patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease.
The research team included Adam C. Bledsoe MD; Katherine S. King MS; Joseph J. Larson BS; Melissa Snyder PhD; Imad Absah MD; Rok Seon Choung MD, PhD; and Joseph A.Murray MD. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the Division of Biomedical Statistics and Informatics, the Division of Clinical Biochemistry, and the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN; and the Department of Pediatrics at ...

Celiac.com 07/06/2020 - Although researchers are just beginning to learn about the role of vitamin D on the immune system and on infection, recent studies point to vitamin D as an immune system regulator and signaling component. Over 900 genes are reportedly regulated by vitamin D. Researchers are investigating numerous potential influences of Vitamin D on chronic diseases such as diabetes, celiac disease and cardiovascular, neurological, and autoimmune diseases.
A team of researchers recently set out to define the possible role of vitamin D in celiac disease development, taking into account potential links among vitamin D, the immune system and celiac disease. The research team included Giorgia Vici, Dalia Camilletti, and Valeria Polzonetti. They are variously affiliated with the S...

Celiac.com 07/22/2020 - Currently, the only effective treatment for celiac disease is a permanent gluten-free diet. Many commercial gluten-free foods are low in fiber, and high in fat, salt, sugar. Many health professionals question the nutritional adequacy of a gluten-free diet. To date, there has been no large case-control study regarding the nutritional adequacy of the gluten-free diet on children with celiac disease. To try to better understand the nutritional value of a gluten-free diet, a team of researcher set out to assess nutritional status, dietary intake, and adherence to a gluten-free diet in children with celiac disease.
The research team included Elena Lionetti, Niki Antonucci, Michele Marinelli, Beatrice Bartolomei, Elisa Franceschini, Simona Gatti, Giulia Naspi Catassi, ...
