- Background: A gluten-free diet (GFD) is currently the only available therapy for coeliac disease (CD). Objectives: We aim to review the literature on the GFD, the gluten content in naturally gluten-free (GF) and commercially available GF food, standards and legislation concerning the gluten content of foods, and the vitamins and mineral content of a GFD. Methods: We carried out a PubMed search for the following terms: Gluten, GFD and food, education, vitamins, minerals, calcium, Codex wheat starch and oats. Relevant papers were reviewed and for each topic a consensus among the authors was obtained. Conclusion: Patients with CD should avoid gluten and maintain a balanced diet to ensure an adequate intake of nutrients, vitamins, fibre and calcium. A GFD improves symptoms in most patients with CD. The practicalities of this however, are difficult, as (i) many processed foods are contaminated with gluten, (ii) staple GF foods are not widely available, and (iii) the GF substitutes are often expensive. Furthermore, (iv) the restrictions of the diet may adversely affect social interactions and quality of life. The inclusion of oats and wheat starch in the diet remains controversial.

- A multidisciplinary panel of 18 physicians and 3 non-physicians from eight countries (Sweden, UK, Argentina, Australia, Italy, Finland, Norway and the USA) reviewed the literature on diagnosis and management of adult coeliac disease (CD). This paper presents the recommendations of the British Society of Gastroenterology. Areas of controversies were explored through phone meetings and web surveys. Nine working groups examined the following areas of CD diagnosis and management: classification of CD; genetics and immunology; diagnostics; serology and endoscopy; follow-up; gluten-free diet; refractory CD and malignancies; quality of life; novel treatments; patient support; and screening for CD.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: To address maternal iron-deficiency anemia and low uptake of iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS) among antenatal care (ANC) clinic attendees in East-Central Uganda, the Anemia Implementation Science Initiative embedded enhanced quality improvement (QI) activities into an integrated health project utilizing QI methodologies.Methods: To address 2 bottlenecks of stock-outs and inadequate health education for pregnant women during ANC, an enhanced QI intervention was implemented from July 2019 to September 2020 in 2 districts. We conducted a mixed-methods effectiveness quasi-experimental study to assess whether the intervention increased the availability of IFAS in the intervention districts. We used longitudinal facility-level data from 2 treatment districts and 1 comparison district for the quantitative results. Difference-in-difference estimation was used to measure the impact of the intervention on IFAS health education and IFA availability at the health facility. We used logistic regression modeling to control for factors associated with IFAS uptake and potential differences in baseline values. Researchers conducted exit interviews with ANC clients and in-depth interviews with providers and district managers for greater insights into the implementation process.Results: The intervention increased the probability, at a statistically significant level, of pregnant women both receiving IFAS and receiving health education on IFAS during ANC. According to interviewees, the intervention approach improved stakeholder engagement and buy-in, which brought about change at all levels of the health system.Discussion: The intervention successfully addressed the 2 main bottlenecks to availability of IFAS for pregnant women attending ANC-inadequate provision of IFAS education and a weak drug quantification process. Even without additional funds to purchase commodities, this approach improved district capacity to advocate for and manage IFAS commodities. It could also be used to strengthen overall ANC quality.
