New trial data suggests that the probiotic strains Lactobacillus plantarum Heal 9 and Lactobacillus paracasei 8700:2 could support the immune system and delay the onset of gluten intolerance in children.
The first enzyme aimed at the relief of symptoms of gluten intolerance has been granted novel food approval by EFSA and can now be used in the European Union, says DSM.
Dietary supplementation during pregnancy may help boost nutrient intake, but it is not likely to modify the risk for coeliac disease in their children, according to researchers.
High gluten intake before the age of two carries coeliac disease risk, researchers say, challenging coeliac development links with breastfeeding and age.
A newly developed supplement from the yolks of chicken eggs could help people with coeliac to enjoy foods they usually have to avoid, by blocking the absoption of certain gluten components.
A recent study that found traces of gluten in probiotic supplements has provoked a measured response from the International Probiotic Association. IPA executive director George Paraskevakos noted that only one product in the study that made a gluten-free...
A protein that could help fight celiac disease gut symptoms may struggle to overcome strict EU rules on genetically modified organisms, says the research director of the institute behind the project.
The human protein elafin could be delivered into the gut using a probiotic bacterium to reduce the inflammatory reaction typical of celiac disease, researchers suggest.
Crackers made from the flour of chickpeas may contain between 3 to 6 times more iron than existing products, offering nutrient-rich options to the burgeoning gluten-free market.
Adding soy sauce to certain foods may enhance perception of saltiness and enable food manufacturers to cut salt content without affecting taste, according to new research from Japan.
Following a gluten-free diet may be detrimental to gut health, which may also affect immune health, according to a new study from the Spanish National Research Council.
Daily supplements of B vitamins may improve the overall health of people with coeliac disease by reducing levels of an amino acid linked to heart disease, says a new Dutch study.
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...
A newly identified enzyme can break down gluten molecules before
they reach the small intestine, Dutch researchers have shown, and
may offer hope for the management of coeliac disease using oral
supplements.
Scientists in Ireland claim to have dramatically improved the
quality of gluten-free bread, presenting an opportunity for bakers
as the number of people with a known gluten intolerance grows,
writes Chris Mercer.
The numbers of British children with the hidden condition coeliac
disease, an intolerance to gluten, have been significantly
underestimated, say doctors in Bristol.
Results from a new study may lead to the first medical treatment
for coeliac disease, a hereditary digestive disease that can damage
the small intestine and interfere with the absorption of nutrients
from food, claims California-based...
An easy-to-use tool for the detection of gluten in foods will be
developed in an EU-funded project designed to help people with
coeliac disease avoid problem foods.
A team of US researchers have discovered the cause and a potential
treatment for celiac disease, the inability to digest gluten, a
major protein in wheat, rye and barley products.
Coeliac patients, who are normally restricted to a gluten-free
diet, can safely eat moderate amounts of oats, says new research in
this month's journal GUT.
