In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Prof Clare Collins speaks with Dr Kim Faulkner-Hogg from Coeliac Australia, about coeliac disease, an autoimmune condition that is increasing in prevalence. They cover genetic factors, the role of gluten, and dietary considerations for those affected, including whether or not oats are gluten free. They discuss the importance of a thorough diagnosis, the implications of a life-long gluten-free diet, and the need for professional guidance in managing coeliac disease and ensuring nutritional adequacy of a gluten free diet and that people meet their nutrient requirements. The conversation also covers the relationship between coeliac disease and other conditions, such as Type 1 diabetes, and the health risks associated with exposure to gluten for people with coeliac disease.

Key Takeaways
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten.
80% of people with coeliac disease remain undiagnosed.
Coeliac disease is often referred to as the 'chameleon disease' due to its varied symptoms.
The prevalence of coeliac disease has increased significantly since the 1950s.
Genetic factors play a crucial role in the development of coeliac disease.
Oats can be problematic for some individuals with coeliac disease due to presence of avenin protein that can cross-react with gluten.
Long-term damage from undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to serious health issues, including osteoporosis and infertility.
Type 1 diabetes is more common among those with coeliac disease compared to type 2 diabetes.
Gluten-free labeling laws ensure that products labeled as gluten-free are safe for consumption.
