3 A huge opportunity for you Australia has one of the highest adverse reaction to food prevalence rates in the world, and rates are increasing Adverse reactions to food: Allergies Coeliac Disease Food intolerances (IBS, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity) (temporary: toxic reactions, food poisoning) People are looking for foods that they can incorporate into their diet to meet their needs and still give their food sensitivity needs with wide variety of nutritious food choices

4 The gluten free BOOM Time magazine rated the GF movement second on its top 10 list of food trends in Australian GF sales expected to be around $100million in 2015 UK growth up 15% in 2014, now worth 238m USA GF market is worth $2.6 billion - a growth of 36% since 2006 and expected to double in size in next 2 years

5 Learning the lingo Allergy is the term often used to describe any adverse reaction to food eg. I am allergic to onion, I have allergy to mushrooms However, in reality, allergies are the least common adverse reaction to food.

6 Learning the lingo Allergies Allergies involve the immune system, they are not trivial, and can indeed be life-threatening. There is a spectrum of severity of symptoms and sensitivity, however wise to always assume reactions are anaphylactic when involved in food preparation/service to someone with an allergy. Admissions for anaphylaxis due to food allergy in children aged 0 to 4 years have increased 5-fold over the past decade in Australia.

7 Coeliac disease Learning the lingo Coeliac disease involves an activated immune system in genetically susceptible people. It is an auto-immune condition, not an allergy. People need a strict life-long gluten free diet as the only treatment. Non-compliance can lead to cancer, infertility, osteoporosis, etc. Prevalence has increased x 4 over past 50 yrs

8 Learning the lingo Food intolerances Food intolerances do not involve the immune system at all. They are a collec5on of annoying however ul5mately harmless symptoms including abdominal bloa5ng, excess wind, diarrhoea, abdominal pain (eg. IBS symptoms), migraines, sinus irrita5on, etc. The types of foods that trigger symptoms vary, as does severity of symptoms and threshold of tolerance. Dietary management is very individualised. IBS is just as prevalent today as it was in the 1980s, it is just spoken about a lot more!

9 Coeliac Disease Size of the market Affects 1 in 80 males and 1 in 60 females in Australia Prevalence of around 1 in 100 reported around the world Not usually seen in Eastern Asians Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity 0.5-6% of the community Vague definition All ethnicities

16 Coeliac Disease: Gluten Free Diet

17 What is Coeliac Disease? A medical condition of a permanent intestinal intolerance to dietary gluten. Gluten is the protein component of wheat, rye, barley AND OATS Gluten induces an autoimmune reaction at the lining of the small intestine Coeliac disease is common and increasing Coeliac disease affects < 1 in 70 Australians or more than 250,000 people 75% of those are not currently diagnosed nearly x2 as prevalent as Type 1 diabetes

18 Diagnosis The initial test for coeliac disease is a simple antibody blood test administered by a GP A small bowel biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis, showing the characteristic changes of coeliac disease including villous atrophy It is important not to start a gluten free diet before testing as this can cause a false test result.

19 Symptoms don t = severity! Symptoms do not relate to severity of disease. All people with coeliac disease require the same, strict, life long diet irrespective of how unwell they are with symptoms. People with no symptoms do not get away with it if they eat small amounts of gluten.

20 Strict life-long gluten free diet required Very small intakes of only 50 mg per day will initiate the inflammatory response. This represents less than one hundredth of a slice of wheat bread. This may not necessarily cause symptoms Cross contamination education important 1/100th portion of bread is enough to cause damage

21 Medications No active ingredient contains gluten Gluten may be present in excipients Gluten free definition for medications is the same as food

22 Gluten in non-food, non-oral medications

23 Gluten in non-food, non-oral medications Gluten is present in cigarettes so people with coeliac disease cannot smoke

24 Gluten in non-food, non-oral medications Gluten is present in cigarettes so people with coeliac disease cannot smoke

25 Gluten in non-food, non-oral medications If wheat-based ingredients are used in skin lotions, hair products, etc, it does not matter in someone with coeliac disease as gluten is an issue only when it is INGESTED

26 Gluten in non-food, non-oral medications If wheat-based ingredients are used in skin lotions, hair products, etc, it does not matter in someone with coeliac disease as gluten is an issue only when it is INGESTED However For Food Allergies, skin contact may trigger a reaction For Food Intolerances, skin contact will NOT trigger a reaction

27 IBS: The low FODMAP diet

28 IBS: The low FODMAP diet FODMAPs are a collection of poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates

29 How do FODMAPs trigger symptoms of IBS?

30 Adapted from Barrett, et al 2009 How do FODMAPs trigger symptoms of IBS?

31 Adapted from Barrett, et al 2009 How do FODMAPs trigger symptoms of IBS? Increased water delivery

32 Adapted from Barrett, et al 2009 How do FODMAPs trigger symptoms of IBS? Increased gas production

33 Adapted from Barrett, et al 2009 How do FODMAPs trigger symptoms of IBS? Luminal distension and Altered bowel motility Abdo pain, distension, excess wind, diarrhoea +/- constipation

34 Examples of high FODMAP foods Excess Fructose Apples, pears, mangoes, nashi fruit, boysenberry, watermelon, cherries, asparagus, Jerusalem ar5chokes, sugar snap peas, honey, high fructose corn syrup, agave. Polyols Lactose Fructans Galacto- oligosaccharides Apple, apricot, avocado, blackberry, cherry, nashi fruit, peach, pear, plum, prune, watermelon, cauliflower, mushrooms Milk, ice cream, custard, yoghurt, rico[a cheese, cream cheese, co[age cheese. Custard apple, persimmon, nectarine, watermelon, globe ar5choke, asparagus, garlic, legumes, len5ls, leek, onion, shallot, spring onion (white part), cashew, pistachio, wheat, rye, barley (in large amounts). Legumes, len5ls, chickpeas.

36 Wheat, rye and barley foods On the Low FODMAP Diet, only a problem when consumed in large amounts eg. small amount of wafer within a chocolate is suitable on the low FODMAP diet. However On the Gluten Free Diet, must be STRICTLY avoided. Oats must also be avoided. With Wheat Allergy, STRICT avoidance of wheat needed

37 Global uptake of the Low FODMAP Diet not yet as well known as GFD International print media International online media

38 Non Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): Gluten Free Diet or Low FODMAP Diet?

39 Many people with NCGS don t feel better on a gluten free diet! Do you currently feel in control of your symptoms Almost 1 in 4 don t feel in control of symptoms on GFD nonsensical to presume issue is gluten NO (22%) SOMETIMES (7%) MOSTLY (12%) YES (59%) 41% have incomplete resolution of symptoms on GFD Biesiekierski JR, et al 2014

40 Healthier foods please! Surprisingly, up to 50% of survey respondents thought going GF was a healthy option for physical (Djokovic) and mental health, and weight loss GFD is not a magical answer to weight loss removing cakes, pastries, pies and confectionery from our diet and replacing them with fruits and vegetables will of course be helpful Some research suggests that a GFD seems to increase the risk of overweight or obesity Nutritional quality of packaged foods often poor more/added fat and sugar to improve taste/texture Demand for healthy Free From products

41 Safer foods please! The free from boom has changed the landscape moved from a history of limited availability of suitable foods to an explosion of options Packaged food is easily identifiable as being safe gluten free declaration on packaging (<3ppm) Mandatory declaration of allergens Eating away from home at cafes/restaurants/ hospitals/school camps food service space is a risk taking venture. Although GF Nut Free DF may now be dotted throughout many menus, too often they are not suitably prepared there is often no quality control

42 Safer foods please! Three eras in the GF restaurant/café scene: Pre-2002: GFD relatively unknown. Plain grilled chicken with an undressed salad typical. Boring but safe : An emergence of some outlets that invested time and effort into understanding the needs of their GF patrons. Tasty meals (with sauces!) and safe present: So many keen to jump aboard this booming dietary trend, without taking time to understand the requirements of GF food preparation. Lots of tasty options, majority unsafe.
