I have to write a technical report


kkgirl

Recommended Posts

I am in a tecnical report writing class that just started this week. I want to write my report about Celiac since i have it along with other food intolerance.. 00

the issue i am having is braking the topic down

 

this is the format we have to post.

Example:

  • Purpose: How to use Visual Cues to Assist Autistic Children

  • Questions: Why are visual cues helpful learning tools for Autistic children?, What type of learning cues are most helpful - and at what ages?

  • Audience: Parents of Autistic Children

 

 

for the purpose right not i have is  - The specific purpose of this report is to inform people what celiac is, how its diagnosed, and to help guide someone who is newly diagnosed.

 

for questions is i have = : What is celiac disease, What are the symptoms, How is it diagnosed,  what is the diet, why does it have to me more stricked then NCGS. 

Audience= to someone who may have celiac or does have celiac. 

 

 

i guess my question is how can i make my purpose, questions, and audience better. 

 

 

thanks the help in advance

I think everything looks good with the exception of this question ' why does it have to me more strict than NCGS '  You may want to change it to something like - What happens if a celiac accidentally eats gluten - and talk about the antibody reaction and how it can be more severe than before diagnosis.

The reason for dropping the NCGS question is because your topic is celiac not NCGS.

Good luck with your paper.

Your audience might work better as "someone who may have celiac or someone who may interact with a person with celiac". I know many educators and family members who would love to learn more about celiac in order to interact with students or family members more safely. This is a great project! Maybe you could post it online somewhere and share the link once it's finished. Good luck!

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ? 
    • Zuma888
      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
