The Impact

Recent awareness and interest in health and wellness has shifted focus on healthy eating and lifestyle changes among people. Baked products are consumed by all age group people and the consumer demand is increasing towards gluten free products mainly due to the prevalence of celiac disease. Utilization of quinoa flour in the making of cookies has its beneficial and nutraceutical properties and its gluten free nature makes it an excellent snack for celiac disease patients. The objective of the current study is to understand the impact of pre-treatments- dry roasting and germination- on the nutritional and functional properties of quinoa flour and to formulate and assess the cookies prepared from the pre treated quinoa flour. Quinoa seeds were washed and subjected to pre-treatments- roasting and germination. Proximate and functional properties were analyzed for plain, roasted and germinated quinoa flour. Quinoa cookies were prepared using plain, roasted and germinated flour. Physical parameters of the cookies were assessed. Cookies were subjected to sensory analysis. There was a significant difference in the proximate composition and functional properties of the untreated, roasted and germinated quinoa flour. Sensory analysis of the cookies revealed that all the samples ranked similar for all the attributes. The study reveals that there is a possibility for the formulation of gluten free cookies using a pseudo cereal like quinoa which has good nutritional and sensory profile.

Background: Few studies exist examining the frequency of primary headache in children with celiac disease and the impact of a gluten-free diet on primary headache symptomology. This study explores characteristics and frequency of headaches in children with celiac disease and response to gluten-free diet at a single institution. Methods: Medical records were reviewed for children with celiac disease confirmed by the presence of elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA levels and histologic changes consistent with the diagnosis of celiac disease on small bowel biopsy. Eligible participants were contacted via letter for participation in a phone survey regarding headaches. Phone interviews were conducted 2 weeks after notification and lasted approximately 10 minutes. Headaches were classified according to ICHD-3 criteria. Results: 247 eligible patients or their families were contacted. A total of 132 (53.44%) agreed to participate. One participant was excluded due to insufficient information provided. Overall, 51 of 131 participants had recurrent headache defined as at least 1 episode per month (39%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 31%-47%) and 33 had migraine with or without aura (25%, 95% CI: 18%-33%). Twenty-eight had frequent tension-type headache (22%, 95% CI: 15%-29%). Thirty-two participants noted headaches before a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease. Twenty-two of 32 participants (68.75%) noticed decreased headache frequency or intensity, or both, after starting the gluten-free diet. Conclusion: This study suggests that at least one-third of children and adolescents with celiac disease have recurrent headaches at the time of diagnosis. A gluten-free diet led to improved headache symptomology in a significant number of these patients.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine produced by epithelial cells in the lungs, skin and intestinal mucosa, and is involved in several physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we evaluated serum TSLP levels in patients with celiac disease (CD). The prospective study was conducted at a gastroenterology outpatient clinic between March 2018 and August 2018. Eighty-nine participants aged between 18 and 75 years were classified into following groups: 22 patients with newly diagnosed CD; 20 patients with CD who were compliant with a gluten-free diet (GFD); 32 patients with CD who were not compliant with a GFD; and 15 healthy controls. Demographic characteristics, disease duration, and selected biochemical and hematologic parameters were recorded and compared between groups. Median serum TSLP levels were 1193.65 pg/mL (range: 480.1–1547.1) in newly diagnosed CD patients, 110.25 pg/mL (range: 60.3–216.7) in CD patients who were compliant with a GFD, 113.1 pg/mL (range: 76.3–303.4) in CD patients who were not compliant with a GFD, and 57 pg/mL (range: 49–67.8) in healthy controls. Overall, there was a significant difference in serum TSLP levels between groups (p = 0.001). Patients with newly diagnosed CD had the highest serum TSLP levels. There was no significant difference in serum TSLP levels between patients with CD who were or were not compliant with a GFD. TSLP appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of CD. Further studies are required to determine if the TSLP signaling pathway can be used in the treatment of CD.

Toasting is a key step in the barrel-making process. It plays an important role in the breakdown of oak wood compounds and thus influences the chemical composition and organoleptic properties of wines and brandies. However, the effect of toasting on distilled spirit quality has not yet been extensively studied. The objective of this study was therefore to study the impact of toasting on cognac eaux-de-vie by characterising the eaux-de-vie sensorially after 12 months of ageing. Eight eaux-de-vie aged in barrels with 8 different toasts were studied. The 8 toasts represented 4 different temperatures (low, medium, medium plus and high) and two toasting lengths for each temperature (one so-called “normal” and the other “slow”). Sensory analysis was carried out on these eaux-de-vie through several tests. First, a sorting test showed the differences between the samples and then training was carried out on previously chosen descriptors in order to build a sensory profile and perform a ranking test. The study was realised for two alcohol levels: 60 % (v/v), which is the alcohol level of eaux-de-vie in barrels, and 40 % (v/v), which is the alcohol level of a commercial cognac. This approach demonstrated that barrel toasting generally leads to significant sensorial differences in eaux-de-vie during ageing. These differences are greater between a lightly and a highly toasted barrel. This study is a first step in the characterisation of cognac eaux-de-vie aged in barrels made with different toasts.

Objective: To describe the growth pattern of children with celiac disease (CD) after introduction of a gluten-free diet (GFD). Methods: In this retrospective, children 2–16 years old with biopsy-proven CD in 2015–2018 were included in the study conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Serial measurements of height-for-age z-score (HAZ) and weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), were recorded at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 months. Data on insulin-like growth hormone-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) obtained at diagnosis and during follow-up were retrieved. Clinical, demographic, and laboratory data were extracted from patients' medical files. Results: The median age for the patients was 8.9 years (range, 2.4–16 years). Males constituted 53.2%. The mean WAZ at diagnosis was -2.8±1.9 and the mean HAZ was -3±0.99. Trend analysis indicated a significant time effect for WAZ (p<0.001) and for HAZ (p<0.001). The mean IGF-1 was 133.4±96.8 ng/ml and the mean IGFBP-3 was 3174±1081 ng/ml. There was significant increase in the secretion of IGF-1 (p=0.01) and IGFBP-3 (p=0.004) during the first 8 months of a GFD. Conclusion: The administration of a GFD for Saudi children with CD normalizes their growth parameters within 16 months of follow-up and improves the endogenous secretion of growth factors.

Abstract Context Celiac disease (CD) is a common comorbidity seen in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is frequently asymptomatic. As chronic conditions requiring significant lifestyle changes, there are limited reports assessing changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during transition to a gluten-free diet (GFD) in patients with both T1D and who are asymptomatic for CD. Objective To prospectively assess HRQoL and health perception in children and adults with T1D and asymptomatic CD after randomization to GFD versus usual diet. Design, Setting, and Participants Patients with T1D aged 8-45 years without CD symptoms were serologically screened for CD, with positive results confirmed with intestinal biopsy. Participants were randomized in an open-label fashion to a GFD or gluten-containing diet (GCD) for 12 months. Generic and diabetes-specific HRQoL and self-perceived wellness (SPW) were assessed longitudinally. Results 2,387 T1D patients were serologically screened. CD was biopsy-confirmed in 82 patients and 51 participants were randomized to a GFD (N=27) or GCD (N=24). Excellent adherence to the assigned diets was observed. Overall, no changes in generic (P=0.73) or diabetes-specific HRQoL (P=0.30), or SPW (P=0.41) were observed between groups over 12 months. HemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) and GI symptoms were consistent predictors of HRQoL and SPW. Conclusions HRQoL and SPW were not significantly impacted by the adoption of a GFD over 12 months, but worsened with symptom onset and increased HbA1c. Our findings indicate that transition to a GFD can be made successfully in this population without adversely impacting quality of life.

AbstractA very limited amount of data are available regarding the follow-up of celiac disease (CD) treatment in Iran. The aim of this study is to investigate antitissue transglutaminase (atTG) normalization interval and the associated factors in CD patients. This retrospective study included CD patients enrolled in Children's Medical Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The initial atTG titer and histological evaluation (with Marsh grade ≥2) were recorded. The atTG titer was assessed in each follow-up until the time of normalization where children were strictly on gluten-free diet. The age at the time of diagnosis, gender, Marsh grade at the time of diagnosis, other comorbidities, and family history of CD patients were recorded to determine the association of these factors with antibody normalization interval. In total, 71 patients were recruited in the study of which 34 (47.89%) subjects had atTG level below 20 U/mL at the average interval of 31.36 ( ±  2.89) months (95% confidence interval: 25.7–37.02). There was no significant difference between the antibody normalization interval and different age ranges and Marsh grade. Cox regression demonstrated that gender, age ranges, Marsh grade, positive family history of CD, and the presence of comorbidities did not significantly predict longer antibody normalization interval.
