University of the Basque CountryOct 29 2024 According to a study by the University of the Basque Country , the Internet is the go-to source for most people with celiac disease when tackling their dietary queries.
Not consuming gluten is the only treatment available to prevent the consequences of coeliac disease, which can lead to serious complications such as intestinal cancer or infertility. Although adherence to the diet is vitally important, this is not always the case and, on many occasions, inappropriate food intake occurs because people with celiac condition are unaware of a dietary transgression.
The UPV/EHU study detected specific aspects in which health professionals do not know very much. For example, the results reveal that one in five are wrong in thinking that quinoa contains gluten and 15% only know of three or fewer critical points in which contamination or cross-contact may occur. In addition, 70% of medical staff mistakenly believe that the declaration of gluten traces is mandatory on food packaging.
