Gluten Sensitivity—What Causes It?
• Activation of the innate immune system
• No damage to the small intestine
• Underlying pathways or causes not well
understood
Dietary Factors- “Gluten”
• ‘Gluten’ is the all-encompassing term for toxic proteins
in celiac disease
• Wheat - (15% protein, 75% starch)
Gluten
Gliadin
Glutenin
(alcohol soluble)
Prolamin
(alcohol insoluble)
• Rye prolamines - secalins
• Barley prolamines - hordeins
Gluten: Seemingly Everywhere
“ I have decided that next to air, water, and dirt,
the next most common substance on the planet
must be gluten.”  -Toni Nolte, Overland Park, Kansas
extracted from Kids with Celiac Disease- Dana Korn
Gluten: Seemingly Everywhere
HUMANS EVOLVED TO EAT MEAT, NOT WHEAT,
AND NO ONE CAN DIGEST GLUTEN…
…BUT NOT EVERYONE GETS CELIAC DISEASE
Gluten- PROLAMINS
• Selected because of agricultural resiliency
• Chemical structure with ideal baking properties
• High in glutamine and proline- immunodominant epitopes, but no
specific peptide activates disease in all patients
• Proline forms helices resistant to digestion in in the mammalian
lumen
• Glutamines can cross-link to give grain resiliency, and the ‘glue’
or gluten that gives bread its shape
Role of Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG)
• Normal gut enzyme
• Released by fibroblasts during injury
• Role in Celiac Disease:
– Modification of gliadin epitopes
• TTG deamidates glutamine residues to glutamic acid
• Deamidation results in higher binding affinity to HLA
DQ2/8 molecule on the surface of antigen-presenting cells
– Autoantibodies against TTG correlate with active
Celiac Disease - ? involved in pathogenesis
The Role of Environmental Factors
in Celiac Disease Pathogenesis***
• Breast feeding reduces the risk of celiac disease and/or at least
delays its onset.
• Introducing gluten at less than 4 months of age is associated
with an increased risk of celiac disease.
• To reduce risk of celiac disease, gluten should be introduced in
small amounts.
• Certain intestinal infections – especially by Rotavirus – increase
the risk of developing celiac disease.
*** very active area of cooperative research
‘Classic’ Presentation of Celiac Disease
• Starts around 6 - 24 months old, after gluten
introduced into diet
• “Malabsorption” Symptoms

Celiac Disease Presentation is Changing:
• ATYPICAL (non-gastronintestinal symptoms) are
becoming more TYPICAL
• Nowadays, celiac disease presenting as the classic
malabsorption syndrome is more of an exception,
not the rule, in both children and in adults
• 143 children dx w/ CD 1986-2003
@ Children’s Hospital Wisconsin
• More likely to have non-gastrointestinal
sx, unless less than 4 yo
• 11% of children obese
Telega et.al. Arch Ped Adoles Med. 2008; 162 (2) 164-168
Non-gastrointestinal Manifestations of
Celiac Disease
MOUTH - dental enamel defects, apthous ulceration
GROWTH - short stature
DEVELOPMENT - delayed puberty
MUSCULOSKELETAL – osteopenia, arthritis
CDHNF/NASPGHAN
NEUROLOGIC/PSYCHIATRIC - headaches, ADHD, depression
SKIN - dermatitis herpetiformis
LIVER - inflammation of liver

‘Silent Celiac Disease’
X
• No or minimal symptoms, positive serology, and
“damaged” mucosa
• Often found in populations at high risk for celiac
disease
– Close relatives of people with celiac disease
– Other conditions associated with celiac disease
• Type 1 diabetes mellitus (8%)
• Autoimmune thyroid disease
– Other syndromes associated with celiac disease
• Down syndrome (5-12%)
• Selective IgA deficiency (1.7-7.7%)
Celiac Disease ‘Masquerade’
• Patients often receive other diagnoses to explain their
symptoms before being diagnosed with Celiac Disease
• The average delay until diagnosis is 11.7 years
The Canadian Celiac Health Survey Dig Dis Sci 2007Apr; 52 (4) 1087-95
Who may have celiac disease?
(Who should be screened?)
• Patients with persistent GI symptoms
• Patients with non-intestinal symptoms of
celiac disease
• Patients in high risk groups
Complications of Celiac Disease
•
•
•
•
•
Malnutrition
Short Stature
Dermatitis herpetiformis
Dental enamel hypoplasia
Fertility problems
• Osteoporosis
• Gluten ataxia and other
neurological disturbances
• Refractory celiac disease
• Intestinal lymphoma
Mortality rate in patients with untreated celiac disease is TWO FOLD
GREATER at every age (gastrointestinal malignancies)
MOST CAN BE PREVENTED/REVERSED WITH EARLY
DIAGNOSIS AND INITIATION OF GLUTEN-FREE-DIET!
Corrao et.al; Lancet vol 358; 2001
Celiac Disease: How do you diagnose it?
‘‘The most important diagnostic test in CD is the
suspicion of the disease.’’
NIH consensus 2004

After the Diagnosis:
Celiac Disease Treatment
“ I was standing there with my orange juice and
bagel and the doctor said, ‘I’ve got good news
and bad news. That’s your last bagel, but I know
what’s wrong with you’.”
- Heather, 43
(extracted from Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic, Peter H.R. Green and Rory Jones)
How do you diagnose gluten
sensitivity?
Oral gluten challenge test:
• Double blind placebo controlled has highest
diagnostic accuracy but expensive and time
consuming
• Single blind placebo controlled
• Open challenge
Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity
Treatment:
• Only treatment is a gluten
free diet (GFD)
• Celiac: Strict, lifelong diet
• Gluten Sensitivity: Remove
gluten as much as possible to
avoid symptoms
– Avoid:
• Wheat
• Rye
• Barley

NIH Consensus Development Conference Statement, 2004
Dietary management of gluten
sensitivity
• Remove gluten from the diet
• Can reintroduce gluten to see if symptoms
return
• Spectrum of individuals with gluten sensitivity
• Focus on treatment of underlying cause
ADA Evidence based guidelines for
Medical Nutrition Therapy for CD
www.adaevidencelibrary.com
• Assessment of food/nutrition related
history
• Assess biochemical data and results of
medical procedures
• Instruction in the GF diet
• Monitoring and evaluation of dietary
compliance
www.adaevidence library.com
Nutrition Intervention
• Gluten free dietary pattern
• Consumption of whole/enriched GF grains and
products
• Addition of vitamin and mineral supplement
• Inclusion of GF oats as tolerated
• Calcium/vitamin D for reduced bone density
• Iron supplementation for iron deficiency anemia
Nutrition Intervention
• Provide resources and education for
label reading
• Coordination of care
• Education on food cross
contamination
Follow-up and monitoring for
compliance
• Dietary compliance—food record, food label
quiz, expert dietitian evaluation
• Monitoring and evaluation of factors affecting
quality of life
• Monitoring and evaluation of gastrointestinal
symptoms
What to expect after celiac disease
diagnosis is made?
• IF gluten-free diet is adhered to, complications can be

Instructing patients in the
gluten-free diet
• What is celiac disease and importance of GFD
• Sources of gluten in the diet and otherwise
obvious--foods
hidden—1) packaged foods, 2) medications,
supplements, other not so well known sources
3) cross contamination 4) dining out
• Nutrition—1) replacing key nutrients
2) balancing intake

Examples:
Foods to watch for hidden gluten!
Imitation seafood
Cold cuts
Licorice
Flavored chips & nuts
An Example: Gluten-Free Bread
• One slice of bread is approximately
28 grams or 1 oz.
• To be considered gluten-free, a
slice of bread must contain 0.6
micrograms or less of gluten.
• A person would need to eat more
than 20 slices of gluten-free bread
that contained 20 ppm of gluten to
get too much gluten.
Gluten-free
bread
What is 20 ppm or 20 micrograms?
• One slice of bread is
approximately
28 grams or 1 oz
• 560 micrograms or .6
milligrams per slice of
bread
• 1000 microgms=
1 milligram
Examples of breakfast foods
with GF grains
Nutritious grains.
• Use enriched products to make up for lost
iron and B vitamins
• Buckwheat, millet, amaranth, quinoa, teff
Principle #2
Avoid gluten cross-contamination.
Source of very small amounts of
gluten for most people:
• eating out, food contaminated with gluten or
mislabeled foods
• Minimize contact at home of gluten containing
and gluten free foods
Principle #3
Choose only gluten-free restaurant
menu items.
• Cross-contamination can easily occur in most
restaurants
Example: Oil used to fry
gluten-containing items later
used to fry gluten-free items.
Principle #4
Eat only uncontaminated oats.
• Not all oats can or should
be labeled gluten-free.
• Same guidelines for oats as for other
processed gluten-free grains and starches.
• Buy from companies who test for less than
20 ppm gluten.
#5--Eat a well-balanced
diet rich in vitamins & minerals—
A natural GF diet is not processed!
Target nutrients:
• Iron
• B vitamins
• Fiber
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Healthy fat such as omega-three fatty acids
Natural Gluten free diet vs
processed gluten free foods
• Natural GF diet shop the periphery of the store
• No need nutritionally for processed GF foods
• $2.3 billion dollar industry in 2010; double from
2006
• Market research has shown that high proportion
of consumers perceive GF foods as “generally
healthier”
2006 Food Allergen Labeling and
Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)
Must be on labels:
• Are any of the 8 main food allergens contained in a
product
• Main food allergens: milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts,
fish, shellfish, soy and wheat
• Barley, rye and malt can contain gluten but are not
listed as allergens.
FDA Enforcement
• Testing samples of foods labeled gluten-free
• Inspecting facilities where gluten-free foods are
made
• Reviewing labels to make sure listed ingredients
are gluten-free
Snack chips with correct labeling
Which foods are GF?
•
•
•
•
•
Rice Krispies
Cool Ranch Tortilla Chips
BBQ flavored chicken
Buckwheat Cereal
Oatmeal
Supplements—
• Multivitamin and mineral including B
vitamins, magnesium, zinc, chromium
• Calcium
• Omega-three fatty acids from fish oil
• Vitamin D
Gluten-Free Retail Products
• Gluten-Free (GF) is becoming MAINSTREAM
– GF food industry: >25% growth annually ($700 million in 2006)
– Expected to top $1 billion by 2010
• Labeling Laws improving
• Many local resources
– Natural food market (some have lists of all GF products)
– Specialty bakeries
– Restaurants: many offer GF entrees
Denver Metro Chapter-Celiac Sprue Association
You can have your cake… (GLUTEN FREE)
And eat it too!!

Expert dietitian evaluation of
compliance to diet
• Dietitian evaluates adherence based on:1)
frequency of gluten consumption; 2) behaviors
when dining out; 3) confidence in following the
diet; 4) label reading; 5) cross contamination at
home; 6) use of oats
• Food label quiz
• 3 day food record or recall
Celiac Disease Summary
• Celiac disease is prevalent in US (and through out
the world!!)
• Celiac disease has protean manifestations, in and
out of the GI tract, and can even be ‘silent’
• Celiac disease screening easy, affordable, readily
available
• By diagnosing and treating celiac disease early, can
decrease/reverse complications
• Gluten free diet currently only acceptable treatment
at this time… but future looks bright!
Gluten Sensitivity Summary
• Summary:
• Non celiac gluten sensitivity prevalence is many
times higher than CD in the general population
• Lack of definition is due to heterogeneous
causes of the condition
• Symptoms are caused by different mechanisms
• Management varies due to underlying cause

• Weight loss
IBS and gluten free diet
• Study in American J of Gastroenterology; Jan 11
2011
• 34 patients with IBS who did not have celiac
disease.
• Double blind randomized placebo controlled rechallenge study
Results
• Those re-introducing gluten experienced more
pain, bloating and tiredness.
• All patients reported that gluten free diet
reduced symptoms
• Six patients in the gluten challenge group
developed symptoms quickly
Wheat Allergy
• Is there such a
thing as allergy to
gluten?
Allergy to wheat
• Can affect skin, gastrointestinal tract or
respiratory tract
• Symptoms: Hives, nasal and chest congestion,
nausea, vomiting, anaphylaxis
• Prevalence: less than 1 percent of children
• Diagnosis: skin prick, blood, food challenge
• Treatment: avoid wheat products
Autism and Gluten Free Casein free
diet
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in every 88
children in U.S. (up from 1 in 500 in 1995) CDC
• Autism not associated with increased risk for celiac
disease.
• Autistic individuals do not respond consistently to a
gluten-free and casein-free diet
• A subset of children with autism have GI problems that
respond to dietary/ nutrition intervention
