“…The earliest record of celiac disease is attributed to Aretaeus of Cappadochia who described a chronic malabsorption syndrome in the second century. Although the role of diet was recognized by both American (Sydney Haas) and British (Samuel Gee) physicians, it was the observations of Wilhelm Dicke of the effects of rationing on Dutch children with celiac disease during the Second World War that led to identification of the toxicity of the gliadin fraction of wheat (2). Throughout most of the twentieth century, celiac disease was believed to affect primarily Europeans and those of European descent.…”

Celiac Disease: Fallacies and Facts

Our understanding of the pathophysiology of celiac disease has progressed greatly over the past 25 years; however, some fallacies about the clinical characteristics and management persist. Worldwide epidemiologic data are now available showing that celiac disease is ubiquitous. An elevated body mass index is common at the time of the diagnosis. The gluten-free diet (GFD) is an imperfect treatment for celiac disease; not all individuals show a response. This diet is widely used by people without celiac disease, and symptomatic improvement on a GFD is not sufficient for diagnosis. Finally, the GFD is burdensome, difficult to achieve, and thus has an incomplete efficacy, opening exciting opportunities for novel, nondietary treatments.

This chapter discusses the role of carbohydrates in nutrition, with particular emphasis on grains and their importance as a source of protein, fiber, and micronutrients. It also explores the negative effects that gluten, a storage protein found in grains, can have on some individuals, leading to disorders such as celiac disease, wheat ataxia, wheat allergy, and dermatitis herpetiformis. The primary treatment for such conditions is to remove gluten from the diet, but this can lead to a reduction in fiber intake and an increase in fat intake. The chapter then looks at the important role gluten plays in dough rheology, particularly in baking, and considers the challenges faced by those who must follow a gluten-free diet. Finally, it examines the potential of pseudocereals such as quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat as substitutes for gluten-containing grains with their potential usage in the food industry and daily nutrition routines.
