AllergyBestBuys.com Highlight Need For Coeliac Testing In ChildrenCategory: Food
Article posted by: Allergy BestBuys
If you or your child suffers with abdominal pains, bloating and nausea after eating gluten-containing foods, you could be among millions in the UK who suffer from undiagnosed Coeliac disease. Intolerance to wheat and similar proteins in rye, barley and possibly oats causes inflammation of the cells lining the small intestine, digestive and nutritional upsets. Symptoms include diarrhoea, tiredness, anaemia, bloating, wind, low mood and weight loss. It is often misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
AllergyBestBuys.com, the specialist providers of anti-allergy products, eczema treatments, asthma products and hayfever remedies, are highlight the need for testing, using a simple blood test that is now available for home use.
Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, said, "Coeliac disease is a condition that used to be associated with young children. Some babies who have been healthy from birth may become irritable, anaemic and fail to grow properly once gluten-containing cereals are introduced. Others may not have problems until they are toddlers. Today it seems that Coeliac disease is a condition that affects both children and adults. For suspected Coeliac disease, parents can now purchase a finger prick home testing kit from AllergyBestBuys.com, which is suitable for both adults and children and which delivers hospital-standard results in minutes. We also have inexpensive home tests for dairy allergy and egg allergy that can be really helpful as the first step to diagnosing and then managing these problems.”
The only treatment for Coeliac disease is to go on to a gluten-free diet. Doctors will often ask sufferers and their parents to seek help of a dietician to help them to read ingredient lists and identify foods that contain gluten to make shopping trips slightly easier.
Ms Rhodes says, "One of the main problems with Coeliac disease, particularly where you are catering for children is finding ways to provide bakes and cakes without stomach-aches! I recommend Great gluten-free baking, a brilliant bestselling recipe book available from our website”.
Another recommended buy would be The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance by Professor Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin. This is the gold standard of food allergy books and is also available from AllergyBestBuys.com. It identifies foods likely to cause problems and how to find out which of them is triggering your or your child’s allergic reaction. The book also examines the psychological aspect of food intolerance to allow your family to adapt to your child’s needs with minimum fuss and upheaval.
Mrs Rhodes added, "There are many ways to ensure that your child steers clear of all allergy inducing foods, and managing the diet effectively really is the key to success”.
