  THE MAIN DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH GLUTEN

  December 24, 2021

  Gluten is a water-soluble protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

  In celiac disease, gluten causes immune inflammation in the small intestine. If celiac disease does not treated, it can cause the anemia, chronic fatigue, osteoporosis, impaired spleen, infertility, neurological disorders, skin rashes, and can lead to other conditions such as bowel cancer.

  In some patients, even though blood tests and endoscopies are negative or normal, there are signs of celiac disease. This condition is called as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance.

   

   

   

  Symptoms may include conditions similar to celiac disease, such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, drowsiness, or fatigue. Improvement in symptoms is also observed when gluten is removed from the diet, and these symptoms repeat when gluten-containing foods are started to be consumed.

  A RELIEF TO INDIVIDUALS WITH GLUTEN INTOLERANCE

  October 15, 2021

  The enzyme that aimed to decrease the gluten intolerance symptoms is approved by EFSA. The company announced that the enzyme launched as the name of Tolerase G was being granted in Europe following into the US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand markets. To reduce the effects of gluten to individuals with gluten intolerance in adults, enzyme claims to break down residual gluten in the stomach.

  FIBERS AND OUR HEALTH

  September 04, 2021

  Nutrients that enter our body through the mouth and begin their pre-digestion with the secretions here are partially broken down into small pieces when they enter the stomach. Along the way, digestion continues with the help of bile and its secretions from the pancreas, and with the help of enzymes in the small intestine and millions of beneficial bacteria, they are now ready to feed our body and organs through the blood. The waste is excreted through our large intestines, and as long as this intense but ordinary order continues, all the hardworking parts of the digestive system perfect our lives without even feeling their presence. But this routine is also very closely related to how much healthy food we get into our body.

  GLUTEN-FREE NUTRITION IN PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND AUTISM

  August 03, 2021

  Down Syndrome

  Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21); as a result of a genetic disorder because of the genetic difference by the presence of an extra chromosome in a pair of chromosomes. Because of this one chromosome, the development of the body and the nervous system changes systematically.

   

   

   

   

  The reasons for what causes the formation of excess chromosomes, for what reason chromosomes can not be divided correctly, are still not known for sure.

  A HOPE FOR PEOPLE WITH GLUTEN SENSITIVITY

  August 03, 2021

  Gluten is a type of protein found in various groups of cereals that causes impaired absorption in the small intestine of people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. By consuming gluten-containing foods, symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal swelling, and weight loss occur. Currently, the only method of treatment is the use of a gluten-free diet.

   

  In our country, the incidence of celiac disease and gluten intolerance is estimated at about 1%, and 10% of these individuals can be diagnosed. After the diagnosis is made, it becomes a way of life.

  OUR INTESTINES AND QUALITY OF LIFE

  February 25, 2021

  Each of us together with a community of trillions of numbers and varieties of microorganisms lives in our intestines. These bacteria make up about 2-3 kg of our total weight. These microscopic creatures, called microbiomes, which make up their own habitat and balance of life, are quite useful as long as they remain in the intestines. Hippocrates, who is considered the father of medicine, recently introduced the saying “our intestines are our second brain”, which is a fairly common opinion, with the thesis that “all diseases begin in the intestines” A.C. the 450s have also explained it. In fact, both views indicate the importance of this microbiome community that has been living with us since the moment we were born.

  GLUTEN FREE DIET

  September 02, 2021

  Gluten Protein

  Proteins are found naturally in all living organisms. Gluten proteins make up a large part of the storage proteins in wheat (about 80% of the total protein). Gluten protein is insoluble in water or salt water. The two main proteins in gluten are composed of two fractions, glutenin and gliadin. These two fractions are in almost equal proportions per grain. As a result of the conducted studies, it was determined that the gliadin fraction is toxic to celiacs, and the gluten fraction is less toxic.

  WHAT IS CELIAC DISEASE?

  September 02, 2021

   

  Celiac disease; occurs as a result of consuming wheat gluten and similar proteins in other cereals and is a food intolerance disorder also called "gluten sensitive intestinal tract". The main factor causing the disorder is the sub-fraction of the gluten protein found in wheat called gliadin. But celiacs should also avoid the consumption of rye and barley products, which include not only wheat, but also prolamines, which are homologs of gliadins.

   

  Gluten causes problems on the small intestine in celiac patients. With the intake of gluten, the protrusions (villi) on the inner surface of the small intestine that ensure absorption are shortened, or even completely eliminated, and the inner surface of the intestine is flattened. The only row of "crypt" cells on the surface of the protrusions is thickened. Thus, the surface where the absorption is made decreases and food intake becomes difficult.

  WHAT IS PROTEIN METABOLISM DISORDER?

  December 08, 2021

  Protein is an important nutrient found in many foods we consume, including meat, milk and dairy products, eggs, legumes and cereals. Proteins that are taken into the body through food are broken down into units called “amino acids” during digestion. Then, these amino acids are processed by some “enzymes” produced in the body and made usable by the body.

   

  However, these events cannot occur in individuals with protein metabolism disorders. Because of an innate error in the genes of these patients, these enzymes that convert amino acids are either not produced at all or are produced in a non-working form. For this reason, these amino acids taken with food cannot be converted by the body. As a result, either the amino acids themselves, which can not be converted by enzymes, or their toxic residues begin to accumulate in body fluids and blood, causing permanent destruction of the brain, nervous system and organs.

  PERMANENT TREATMENT FOR PKU: GEN THERAPY

  December 08, 2021

  Gene therapy for PKU patients is still in clinical study. Successful results have been achieved on animals, but studies on humans are very limited.

  American Gene Technology (AGT) continues its studies for safe, effective and cost-effective genetic treatments for PKU patients.
