The primary treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, but its broader effects on the gut environment and microbiome were not fully understood until now. To investigate these impacts, researchers compared individuals with newly diagnosed celiac disease to healthy volunteers who did not follow a gluten-free diet.
Naming a child is a deeply personal decision, often influenced by cultural heritage, personal preferences, or significant meanings behind certain names. However, when an unusual or unconventional name like “Glutenia” is suggested, it can spark debate, as seen in a recent viral story. A Reddit user shared their surprise when their aunt dismissed traditional Irish-Armenian names in favor of “Glutenia,” citing it as a “grandma name” that wouldn’t seem ridiculous. While this story gained traction for its humor, it also raises deeper questions about naming trends, cultural identity, and sensitivity to medical conditions like celiac disease.

The results highlight significant patterns and offer critical insights for early detection and management strategies.
Yakitori, which translates to “grilled chicken” in Japanese, is a beloved street food that has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries. Originating in the Edo period, this dish became popular as a quick, affordable meal, often paired with sake or beer in bustling izakayas (Japanese pubs). Traditionally, yakitori is made by skewering various parts of the chicken—thighs, wings, or even gizzards—and grilling them over hot charcoal. The smoky flavor and savory-sweet glaze make it a favorite among locals and travelers alike.
Persistent digestive symptoms are a common challenge for individuals with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, even after switching to a gluten-free diet.

This study reviews the relationship between FODMAPs, celiac disease, and non-celiac gluten or wheat sensitivity.
Tempura is a beloved dish in Japanese cuisine, known for its light and airy batter that creates a perfectly crispy exterior. Originating in the 16th century, tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese missionaries, who shared their frying techniques with the local population. Over time, the dish evolved into a cornerstone of Japanese culinary culture, celebrated for its delicate texture and versatility. Traditionally made with wheat-based flour, tempura can be a challenge for those with gluten sensitivities. However, a few thoughtful adjustments ensure you can enjoy this iconic dish while adhering to a gluten-free diet.
Onigiri, also known as rice balls, has been a cherished part of Japanese cuisine for centuries. First documented in the Heian period (794–1185), onigiri was a convenient way for travelers and soldiers to carry a portable, filling meal. Made from simple ingredients—rice, salt, and various fillings—it symbolizes the essence of Japanese home cooking. Wrapped in a strip of nori (seaweed) for easy handling, onigiri is still a popular snack sold in convenience stores across Japan. Traditionally, fillings like salted salmon and pickled plums (umeboshi) were used for their natural preservative properties, allowing the onigiri to stay fresh longer.

Japanese curry, or "kare," is a beloved dish that has become a staple in Japanese households and restaurants. Its origins trace back to the late 19th century when the British Navy introduced curry powder to Japan. Over time, the dish evolved, blending Indian-inspired spices with a uniquely Japanese taste profile.

It’s often served with rice and a variety of proteins and vegetables, making it a hearty and versatile comfort food.

However, for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, soy sauce is off-limits due to its wheat content. With the right adjustments, you can enjoy this classic Japanese dish without compromising on taste or texture.
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For most individuals with this condition, following a strict gluten-free diet is the key to managing symptoms and promoting intestinal healing. However, not all patients experience relief, even after adhering to this diet for six to twelve months. This condition, termed non-responsive celiac disease, has now been the subject of a comprehensive study analyzing its prevalence and causes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is tasked with safeguarding public health, but for those with celiac disease—a serious autoimmune condition triggered by gluten—the agency’s regulatory sluggishness is falling short.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system launches an aggressive response against gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Navigating dietary restrictions during family meals can be challenging, especially when emotions, traditions, and communication gaps come into play. This recent story about a sister-in-law who added flour to a dish meant to be gluten-free highlights just how delicate these situations can be for people with gluten intolerance, celiac disease, or other dietary sensitivities.

Celiac disease, a chronic immune-mediated condition triggered by gluten consumption, has historically been associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. However, as diagnostic methods improve, the disease is increasingly identified in older adults. While celiac disease in younger populations has been studied extensively, limited research has explored its long-term complications in older individuals. Frailty—a state of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes—is a critical concern in aging populations. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between celiac disease and frailty in adults aged 60 years and older, using a large nationwide cohort in Sweden.
Ensuring equitable dining options for students with dietary restrictions is essential on any college campus. At the University of Pennsylvania, a recent analysis by The Daily Pennsylvanian revealed that fewer than half of all food items served at major dining halls are free of the top nine allergens.

Below, we explore the findings of this analysis, highlight the current efforts to accommodate dietary needs, and provide insight into gluten-free options available on campus.
For individuals with celiac disease, staying gluten-free isn't just a preference or a health trend—it's a medical necessity. However, a recent poll by Celiac.com revealed a concerning statistic: over 20% of celiacs admit to cheating on their gluten-free diets, with some confessing to doing so more than 25 times per year. This pattern of dietary lapses can have severe consequences, ranging from immediate gastrointestinal distress to long-term health risks like nutrient deficiencies and increased chances of other autoimmune conditions. As we welcome 2025, it’s time to make a steadfast commitment to staying 100% gluten-free. Here’s a guide to help you make this resolution stick, keep your health on track, and navigate common challenges.
