May is Celiac Awareness Month!
The May long weekend marks the beginning of summer and some of our favourite foods, like juicy barbecued burgers and picnics with fresh pasta salad and sandwiches. May is also Celiac Awareness Month and if you are hosting a BBQ for a friend or family member that requires a gluten-free diet, understanding which foods contain gluten and planning healthy gluten-free meals is very important.
What is the difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale, spelt and kamut.
Individuals with celiac disease – which the Canadian Celiac Association estimates affects approximately 1 in 133 Canadians- must eliminate all gluten from their diet. While sometimes there are no clear symptoms of celiac disease, common signs include diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, bloating, irritability, fatigue, weight loss, low iron levels, poor growth or an intense burning or itching rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis. Fertility issues, osteoporosis, lactose intolerance, Type 1 diabetes, lymphoma and other autoimmune diseases are also associated with celiac disease.
There are also people that have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity that affects an estimated 2-6% of us and these individuals may find reducing gluten will help reduce digestion symptoms. Symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivity include abdominal pain similar to irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, headaches and paresthesia -tingling of the extremities. Speak to your physician about screening to ensure proper testing.
