Interview with Researcher Alessio Fasano:
We've been talking a lot this week about a great interview that was done late last year with one of the Gastro-Neurologist Dr. Alessio Fasano.
Interesting arguements brought up in this article include:
(1) Our digestive systems do not have the enzyme to break down the protein in gluten.
(2) The main difference between Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity is that with Celiac the immune system attacks the cilia in the gut, while in Gluten Sensitivity the immune system attacks other parts of the body.
(3) There are 4 types of gluten allergy, 3 types of gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease.
Does this mean that gluten is similar to sugar and that we should all be limiting the amount of gluten in our diet? Possibly. We will have to look to future research to address this question.
Correlation between Crohn's Disease and Celiac Disease:
The Sacramento Burger Battle at Raley Field next weekend supports the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.
Did you know that there is a significant correlation between Chron's Disease and Celiac? Individual's with Chron's Disease should be tested for Celiac Disease before starting a gluten free diet (tests must include both IgA and Anti-Endomysial antibodies; 2 different tests and both must be done for testing accuracy)
If you are not eating gluten, the tests will not be accurate. If you have stopped eating gluten, a gluten challenge may be performed for test accuracy (this requires consumption of a gluten containing slice of bread and a cookie everyday for 6 months... yes 6 months - shorter time periods mean inaccurate test results!)
We will be providing gluten free buns at the event from Canyon Bakehouse (Colorado) and potentially Mariposa Bakery (Oakland). Additionally, we will be providing gluten-free awareness and support and information about our grocery market and its plethora of resources.
