Topics of interest to consumers of grains
Gluten intolerance and Celiac disease
As part of the GrainGenes project role in answering some questions from the
community, a number of questions were directed toward grains and their relationship
to Celiac disease. A local authority on the topic, Don Kasarda, located at
the USDA-ARS Western Regional Research Center, Albany, CA was able to shed some
light on this topic and has subsequently published and presented further on the
topic. The original series of questions and responses can be seen in the
following link.
Four articles from Don Kasarda:
- Gluten and Gliadin: Precipitating factors in Coeliac Disease, 7th International Symposium on Coeliac Disease, Sept. 5-7, 1996, Tampere, Finland.
- Grains in Relation to Celiac (Coeliac) Disease, 1999
- Celiac Disease and Safe Grains, 2003
- What We Know About Grain Safety, presented Oct. 22, 2004 at Celiac Disease and Other Food Intolerences, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY
