The average human takes between 14 and 20 breaths per minute. But if you are conscious of those breaths, that’s a problem. Perhaps you’re experiencing chest tightness, clogged sinuses or a nagging cough that make you very aware of every breath you take. If so, the ingestion of gluten may be a contributing factor to these respiratory issues. Today Nadine explores the relationship between the lungs and celiac disease, offering anecdotal evidence as well as explaining the way that inflammation can lead to a number of respiratory problems. Because 70-90% of your immune system is housed in your intestines, it is no surprise that a leaky gut could make you more vulnerable to respiratory tract infections. Despite the fact that current literature considers respiratory challenges to be an atypical presentation of celiac disease, the Gluten Free RN argues that there is enough anecdotal evidence to merit further study. Listen in to understand the vitamin deficiencies that likely contribute to respiratory issues, how those health concerns might be corrected by going gluten-free, and why your body heals more quickly on a high fat, whole food diet. It’s time to go gluten-free and breathe easy again! What’s Discussed:  How gluten ingestion likely affects the respiratory system Body keeps fluids separate unless tissues leaky Gluten alters epithelial tissue, including that of lungs Nadine’s anecdotal evidence of a connection between gluten and respiratory issues Fellow nurse had lung removed as child Always needed inhalers Went gluten-free with Nadine Inflammation in lungs cleared, asthma gone No longer needed inhalers Respiratory issues that may be corrected on a gluten-free diet Anemia (lack of red blood cells to carry oxygen causes shortness of breath with minimal exertion) Recurrent respiratory infections Cystic fibrosis COPD IPH (bleeding lung) Pulmonary edema Vitamin deficiencies caused by gluten ingestion that lead to respiratory problems Vitamin K deficiencies initiate easy bruising, nose bleeds and bleeding lung Why going gluten-free eliminates many respiratory issues Gluten causes inflammation (-itis = inflammation) Removing the cause heals intestines, repairs immune system Patients operate on a higher level Common symptoms of respiratory issues Difficulty breathing Chest tightness Nagging cough Clogged sinuses Post-nasal drip Nadine’s recommendations around diet and nutrition Gluten- and dairy-free at a minimum Ideally variation of Paleo diet Whole foods (meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds) High fat (body needs to absorb fat-soluble nutrients – A, D, E & K) Maintain Gluten Zero (takes six months to a year for intestinal villi to heal) Why your body heals more quickly on a high fat, whole food diet Body knows how to break down, utilize nutrients Fat-soluble vitamins repair connective tissue, leaky gut The genes that indicate a predisposition for celiac disease HLA-DQ2 HLA-DQ8 Resources:   “Hemoptysis in Patients of Celiac Disease with Disproportionately Severe Anemia” in Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine “A Case of Cough, Lymphocytic Bronchoalveolitis and Coeliac Disease with Improvement Following a Gluten Free Diet” in Thorax “Respiratory Symptoms as Atypical Manifestation of Celiac Disease” in the Pediatric Oncall Journal “Recurrent Rhinitis and Pulmonary Infections Revealing Celiac Disease” in Revue de Pneumologie Clinique “Pneumococcal Septic Shock in the Setting of Hyposplenic Celiac Disease” in Hospital Physician Coeliac Australia: Associated Conditions Connect with Nadine:  Instagram Facebook Contact via Email ‘Your Skin on Gluten’ on YouTube Melodies of the Danube Gluten-Free Cruise with Nadine Books by Nadine: Dough Nation: A Nurse's Memoir of Celiac Disease from Missed Diagnosis to Food and Health Activism

Struggling to maintain control of your blood sugar? A gluten-free diet may be the answer! If you have one autoimmune disorder, you have a 30-50% greater risk of developing another, and both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease fall into that category. As more and more research points to an enormous overlap between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, it is in our best interests to mitigate additional risk by getting screened and/or adopting a gluten-free or Paleo diet to mitigate further risk. Today Nadine discusses the prevalence of diabetes, several research studies that explore the connection between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the potential risks for type 1 diabetics who are undiagnosed celiac patients. Listen and learn how your diet may be affecting your blood sugar and why going gluten-free could improve your health and quality of life! What’s Discussed:  The prevalence of diabetes By 2050, half the population will have diabetes According to CDC, 29.1 million have diabetes One out of four don’t know they are diabetic 18,000 young people diagnosed from 2008-2009 The difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes Minimize risk for type 2 through diet and exercise Type 1 is autoimmune disorder, don’t produce enough insulin to break down sugar Symptoms of type 1 diabetes Extreme thirst Urgency to urinate frequently Fatigue Weakness The enormous genetic overlap between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease Scottish study found 94% of type 1 diabetics were HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 gene carriers 100% overlap if include HLA-DQ2.2 Prevalence of celiac disease among type 1 diabetics is 20% higher than general population The importance of testing all type 1 diabetics for celiac disease annually Can develop celiac disease at any age The consequences of undiagnosed celiac disease in children with type 1 diabetes Short stature Failure to thrive Early onset osteopenia, osteoporosis Easily broken or rubbery bones Difficulty maintaining glycemic control (low blood sugar, spikes) Anemia The decreased quality of life for type 1 diabetics who are undiagnosed celiac Development of infections Difficulty with blood sugar maintenance Research studies re: the percentages of type 1 diabetics who also have celiac disease Iraq – 11.2% Mexican participants – 5.9% Denmark – 12.3% Nadine’s anecdotal evidence of the overlap Volunteers at community outreach clinic Young man struggling to control blood sugar Nadine recommended gluten-free diet Improved health and quality of life Health risks associated with an inability to control blood sugar Blindness Kidney failure Amputation of extremities Difficulty healing wounds Heart attacks Strokes Why carb counting doesn’t control blood sugar Carbs with little/no nutrient value cause spikes in blood sugar The diet Nadine recommends for type 1 diabetics Variation of Paleo diet Nutrient dense foods Meat and fish Eggs Fruits and vegetables Nuts and seeds The benefits of a gluten-free diet for type 1 diabetics Weight easier to control Immune system works better Tighter control on blood sugar The lack of uniformity in screening guidelines Additional autoimmune diseases that may be avoided with a gluten-free diet Multiple sclerosis Lupus Sjögren’s Scleroderma Autoimmune thyroiditis Graves’ disease Hashimoto’s Vitiligo Raynaud’s Potential triggers for autoimmune disorders Gluten Change in microbiome Stress to body (i.e.: cold, food poisoning, travel)  Treatments for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth Low FODMAPs or specific carb diet Rifaximin (antibiotic) The dangers of maintaining high blood sugar Damage to kidneys, eyes, capillaries, fingers and toes Neuropathy Gastroparesis The long history of a connection between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease The need for information re: the connection in diabetic education services Resources: “Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease: The Effects of Gluten Free Diet on Metabolic Control” in the World Journal of Diabetes “Co-occurrence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Celiac Disease” in the World Journal of Diabetes “Screening for Coeliac Disease in Adult Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Myths, Facts and Controversy in Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome “The Prevalence of Coeliac Disease in Libyan Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus” in Diabetes Metabolism Research and Reviews “Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes in Celiac Disease: Prevalence and Effect on Clinical and Histological Presentation” in BMC Gastroenterology “Coexistence of Coeliac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes” in Przeglad Gastroenterologiczny “Screening for Celiac Disease in Type 1 Diabetes: A Systematic Review” in AAP News and Journals Connect with Nadine:  Instagram Facebook Contact via Email ‘Your Skin on Gluten’ on YouTube Books by Nadine: Dough Nation: A Nurse's Memoir of Celiac Disease from Missed Diagnosis to Food and Health Activism

The medical community has an obligation to protect vulnerable populations, speaking up for any group that may not be able to advocate for themselves, and patients with Down, Turner, and Williams syndrome certainly fall into this category. Yet one facet of their health – one that could vastly improve quality of life – often goes overlooked. There is a high prevalence of celiac disease among individuals with Down, Turner, and Williams syndrome, and it is recommended that these patients get tested annually. Unfortunately, many of the symptoms of celiac disease are attributed to the syndrome instead, and gluten sensitivity goes undiagnosed. Today Nadine shares several case studies as well as her own experience working with patients with developmental delays. She covers the high incidence of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity in Down, Turner, and Williams syndrome patients, the signs and symptoms of gluten damage, and the importance of annual screening in this population. What’s Discussed:  The prevalence of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity in individuals with Down, Tuner and Williams syndrome Annual testing is recommended Signs and symptoms can be eliminated with a gluten-free diet Tiffany’s story Williams syndrome patient Suffered from stage 4 liver failure and diabetes Endured cracked, bleeding skin and fluid in the abdomen Tested positive for celiac disease Gluten-free diet resolved most of her symptoms Alternatives to the standard blood test that could reveal non-celiac gluten sensitivity in Down syndrome patients The anti-gliadin antibody (AGA) is an excellent biomarker In a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, 41% of Down syndrome patients had AGA antibodies  The importance of testing family members A mother who is malnourished during pregnancy may have a child with Down, Turner or Williams syndrome Celiac disease may disrupt fetal development The overlap of celiac disease and Down syndrome Study found that 18 of 284 subjects ages two to 15 tested positive for celiac disease In another study, 11 of 47 had positive blood tests Symptoms of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity Diarrhea Abdominal pain Gas Bloating Constipation Short stature Brittle bones Osteoporosis Osteopenia Thyroid issues Anemia Type 1 diabetes Skin rash Decreased appetite Yeast overgrowth Lichen planus Difficulty swallowing Nadine’s story of an autistic patient Sweet gentleman who lived in group home Suffered from diabetes, repeated infections and self-harm Paleo diet made him calmer, didn’t irritate his throat He enjoyed an improved quality of life Cases of asymptomatic celiac disease in children with Down syndrome Study published in the International Journal of Pediatrics Toddlers screened at around 24 months Biopsy proven celiac disease identified in 3-9% of children with Down syndrome Not all patients with positive screens receive a biopsy if asymptomatic One child in the study gained weight and energy on a gluten-free diet A second child had less constipation and diarrhea Follow-up study reported that 66% had health improvement Resources Mentioned: “Screening for Celiac Disease in Down’s Syndrome Patients Revealed Cases of Subtotal Villous Atrophy Without Typical for Celiac Disease HLA-DQ and Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies” from the World Journal of Gastroenterology “Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Down’s Syndrome” from the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology “Asymptomatic Celiac Disease in Children with Trisomy 21 at 26 Months of Age or Less” from the International Journal of Pediatrics Other Resources: “Celiac Disease” from the Pediatric Gastroenterology Board Review Manual “The Coexistence of Down Syndrome and a Triad Consisting of: Coeliac Disease, Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus and Congenital Hypothyroidism” from Down Syndrome Research and Practice “Coeliac Disease in Williams Syndrome” from the Journal of Medical Genetics “Turner Syndrome and Celiac Disease: A Case-Control Study” from Pediatrics Connect with Nadine:  Instagram Facebook Contact via Email Books by Nadine: Dough Nation: A Nurse's Memoir of Celiac Disease from Missed Diagnosis to Food and Health Activism
