Via Gluten Free Watchdog: Product warning for Tattooed Chef Plant Based Egg Roll Bowl.

This product is labeled gluten-free yet includes "malt extract" in the ingredients list. The manufacturer has been contacted. Their response in part: “The ingredient that contains malt extract is manufactured in Italy and the malt extract is gluten free.” The manufacturer has been advised of the Code of Federal Regulation definition for malt extract & has been reminded that under the FDA's gluten-free labeling rule, malt extract is not allowed in foods making a gluten-free claim (please see screenshot of FDA statement).

Explaining Celiac Disease to a child - or an adult - can be challenging. Describing how one crumb of gluten can activate the auto immune response, causing villi in the small internist to blunt and malabsorption of nutrients can result can confuse and many.

Even as a Health Educator, I've found it challenging to explain the autoimmune disease component of Celiac, especially to kids. Another point that's hard to convey: even one crumb of gluten-containing food activates the response. Lastly, beyond the symptoms you may experience, what is happening internally.

This visual from GIANTmicrobes a fun way to show, not tell. It's a great tool to use with family members, friends, teachers any one who needs to understand!

Early results from a study on a new drug to treat celiac disease, ZED1227, found that those who took varying doses of ZED1227 had a greater reduction in intestinal damage compared to study participants who were given a placebo. All participated in a gluten challenge, ie purposely eating gluten.

ZED1227 is the first non-dietary treatment that has preliminarily shown the capacity to prevent mucosal damage in persons with celiac disease, and all the patients who received ZED1227 reported an increase in quality of life.

On developing a celiac disease treatment, the study authors explained that the gluten-free diet is, for some, an inadequate treatment. They note that “only 50 percent of patients have mucosal recovery” and often do not have negative results in blood tests for celiac disease even one year after diagnosis. “There is an unmet medical need for an effective treatment adjunct to a strict gluten-free diet,” they write. The group plans to launch a larger study in a real-world setting to further study the drug.
