how can unbalanced diet contribute to coeliac disease?-have spend hours researching & im not having much luck?

Question

this is wot ive got so far-but i need enough for two sides of a4-and i have curently only got enough for half a side: Coeliac disease can be kept under control and further problems prevented by completely eliminating gluten and related proteins from the diet. Supplements of vitamins and minerals may also need to be taken for a short time to counter-act any previous deficiencies. There is a good range of gluten-free foods available as well as recipe books.
Improvements begin within days of starting a gluten-free diet. The small intestine is usually completely healed in 3 to 6 months; individuals start to regain lost weight and are able to lead a normal and healthy life.
Patients are advised to see a dietician for guidance on foods that are gluten-free and to monitor their progress carefully. Foods that contain wheat, barley and rye should be avoided. There is growing evidence that most adults with moderate coeliac disease can eat oats.

tried the nhs websites-but they wernt very helpful

Answer 1

No, coeliac disease( or gluten enteropathy) is an inherited condition, there is no definitive way to stop the disease developing. The sensitivity to the protein gluten is inherited though it can be of variable severity. If gluten is eaten the bowel becomes damaged and fails to absorb vitamins and nutrients properly.

Answer 2

Min's answer is really good!!! Also, national chains in the US have web sites and a lot of them have gluten free menus you can look at online. My favorites are Carrabbas and Outback. I understand PFChangs is pretty good too. But if you don't live in the US then that doesn't help but some of the restaurants might do the same thing there. Or at least call ahead and discuss the menu when your father isn't around. Then she will know what she wants before she gets there. If you could order a salad at Subway or anywhere else you are eating with her, it will be a show of support and sort of help keep temptation out of sight while she is adapting. After a while, she will be able to handle it better. I agree, the breads can be pretty bad, but keep experimenting with different brands until you find one that is ok. Different people like different textures and flavors. My favorite is a flaxseed bread by Glutino. Glutino also has good crackers and what they call a breadstick but is more of a cracker. Good luck and if I can help anymore, contact me through here.

There are more coeliacs in Celtic countries. It can lie dormant for years before flaring up and becoming a problem,My husband is 62 and just been diagnosed. He has been coeliac all his life but symptoms have just become unbearable. He is now controlled, it is incurable but controllable with a strict diet. Oats should only be eaten if grown away from other cereals. Folic acid needs to e taken in tablet form,
Bone density and bone loss can be a problem, calcium may be needed by some people. Skimmed milk should drunk as it is higher in calcium than either full or half cream.

Answer 4

You can go into the statistics about 1 in 133 Americans having the gene that causes it and also that it is more common in those of N. European ancestry. In Italy, children have to have celiac test to go to kindergarten. In Denmark, most eating establishments routinely bring two menus, the celiac and the regular. Another thing to write about is how it affects unborn babies and how it is he # 1 cause of failure to thrive in babies and toddler.The details of all this can be found online. Good Luck and God Bless

You need to search the professional medical databases for accredited research.

Try proquest, cinahl, pubmed, cochrane library, dept of health, world health organisation, and some NHS sites will have links to professional databases too.

Just google the names and you will find them.
