Opportunities for growth in gluten-free foods

By Lindsey Partos, 28-Jan-2009

New gluten-free rules from Brussels may well incur incremental costs for bakers and snack manufacturers but with one in a hundred UK consumers estimated to be gluten intolerant, unlocking the market for gluten-free products could reap strong financial gains for industry players.

Under the new European Commission regulation (EC) No 41/2009 ushered in through the official journal last week, only foods that contain less than 20 parts of gluten in a million will be allowed to use the term 'gluten-free' on their packaging.

Further, if a product contains a gluten level of 21-100ppm, it will have to be labelled as 'very low gluten' by 2012.

Food manufacturers have previously turned to Codex Alimentarius' standard for gluten-free labelling. In 1981 Codex established the level of gluten permitted in gluten-free products at 200mg gluten/kg or 200 parts per million (ppm): this standard was amended to only 20ppm in July last year.

The passage to full compliance for the new rules from Europe, necessary by 1 January 2012, could necessitate extra costs for manufacturers in particular in terms of re-labelling, that could reach

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By trents · Posted

      When you say you have been in an "entirely gluten-free household" since January of 2025" does that include making sure you have checked that all medications, supplements and oral hygiene products are gluten free? I can also tell you that for some people, it can take several years for their antibody numbers to normalize.

      I believe you are falsely concluding that elevated tTG-IGA/tTG-IGG levels can only be caused by celiac disease. I will offer a link here to an article outlining the various blood antibody tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Each one them has less than a 100% specificity for celiac disease:

      thank you @trents ! I am reading through these, and it gives some clarity on the other possible causes of villous atrophy, but given that I still have high ttg levels, I am thinking that the most likely cause is still the celiac disease, and any treatments for other causes would not address the increased ttg levels and villous atrophy caused by that?

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ehb · Posted

      Hi Scott,  I am wondering how you came to this extensive list of vitamins? I just took a blood test and was low on a few items, so I am thinking about taking a multi vitamin, but I would prefer to have a doctor or professional guide me on which ones to take to help with the deficiencies. There is so much conflicting information, I don't know where to begin. Thank you!
