Celiac.com 02/01/2017 - More and more evidence shows a connection between gut inflammation and type 1 diabetes (T1D). A team of researchers recently set out to assess gut inflammatory profiles and microbiota in patients with T1D, and to compare them with healthy controls (CTRL) and with celiac disease patients as gut inflammatory disease controls.
The research team included Silvia Pellegrini, Valeria Sordi, Andrea Mario Bolla, Diego Saita Roberto Ferrarese, Filippo Canducci, Massimo Clementi, Francesca Invernizzi, Alberto Mariani, Riccardo Bonfanti, Graziano Barera, Pier Alberto Testoni, Claudio Doglioni, Emanuele Bosi, and Lorenzo Piemonti. They are affiliated with the Diabetes Research Institute at the IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, Italy.
The team evaluated inflammatory...

Celiac.com 12/02/2019 - Parkinson’s development can take many paths, with factors like genetics, aging, and environmental conditions all playing roles. Most people with Parkinson’s disease experience non-motor-symptoms, such as chronic constipation and/or impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) transit, long before the disease manifests clearly. Researcher Tomasza Brudek recently reviewed available medical literature for a possible link between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Parkinson's Disease.
Brudek is affiliated with both the Research Laboratory for Stereology and Neuroscience, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg-Frederiksberg Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark; and the Copenhagen Center for Translational Research, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hos...

Celiac.com 09/12/2020 - In order to understand how inflammation impacts those of us with celiac disease, we must first understand what role it plays in the body’s defense system. In many cases, inflammation is a good thing. It’s a non-specific, protective response by the immune system against infectious agents, toxic irritants, abrasions, tissue injury, and even extreme temperatures. It’s our natural and desirable attempt to protect, repair, and maintain healthy tissue — both inside and outside the body. 
I’m sure you’ve experienced a nasty burn or cut on your finger and have watched the body’s response to the injury. Within seconds various internal “first responders” are called upon and the characteristic signs of inflammation quickly appear — redness, pain, heat, and swelling. ...

Celiac.com 08/15/2023 - Researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand recently studied the effects of dietary wheat gluten on the hypothalamus of male mice. The researchers include Mohammed Z. Rizwan, Romy Kerbus, Kaj Kamstra, Pramuk Keerthisinghe, and Alexander Tups. Their findings are intriguing.
The researchers are variously affiliated with the Centre for Neuroendocrinology and Department of Physiology at the University of Otago School of Biomedical Sciences in Dunedin, New Zealand; the Centre for Neuroendocrinology and Department of Anatomy at the University of Otago School of Biomedical Sciences in Dunedin, New Zealand, and the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery in Auckland, New Zealand.
Gluten is commonly found in wheat, rye, and barley, and...
