The Health and Nutrition Bite for May 5, 2010 reported on the validity of physicians testing for celiac disease in those with abdominal symptoms. We received several comments suggesting that keeping a food diary might also help with diagnosing celiac disease:
We don’t normally report on research that isn’t directly related to food (that’s what Dr. Gourmet is all about, after all).

One reason I don’t [...] Some research has suggested that Celiac Disease may contribute to reproductive problems in women, including infertility, miscarriages and problems with the baby’s growth.

While there are blood tests to detect the disease, the true confirmation of the diagnosis requires doing a biopsy of [...] When we set out to review gluten free foods the initial items were pretty disappointing. I almost gave up, feeling that it must be a real challenge for folks with celiac disease. Our initial tasting of pastas didn’t go well, and gluten free breads have been tough [...] Ginger Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce I love this spin on chicken satay with the ginger. It gives it a fresh, light flavor. The peanut sauce with the addition of cilantro is rich but soft and [...] Folks who are not challenged by issues with gluten sensitivity don’t think much about pasta other than possibly eating too much of it. We really take it for granted I think. Fettuccine, linguine, rotini, zita, and on and on. Cooked al dente it’s just in a league [...] Roasted Root Vegetables This is the perfect accompaniment for roasts whether it’s beef, chicken or lamb. A single pan, an oven, some herbs and you’re good to go. This recipe is [...] |
