ASK THE DOCTOR
Question: What follow-up care should I have after diagnosis?
Patients need follow-up after diagnosis. Symptoms that persist after commencing the diet require elucidation and appropriate treatment. Bone density should be measured because osteopenia and osteoporosis are common complications of celiac disease. Iron, folic acid, calcium and certain vitamins should be measured as there is often malabsorption of these nutrients. Certain vitamins and minerals may need to be administered, but the patient should be under a physician's guidance as to how much should be taken and for how long. Consultation with a dietitian experienced with the gluten-free diet is recommended. Many patients, especially the elderly, require a Pneumovax vacci8nation because hyposplenism and a resultant increased risk of pneumococcal infection is common.
Blood tests are used to monitor adherence to the gluten-free diet, as antibody levels should normalize with time. Patients with celiac disease should have at least one follow-up biopsy to confirm their response to the diet and the normalization of the biopsy sample. Patients who are non-responders, or whose clinical situation is somewhat confusing, may need more repeated biopsies at intervals.
Patients who have persistent diarrhea after starting a gluten-free diet require a more intensive evaluation to exclude other food intolerances, colitis, bacterial overgrowth or pancreatic insufficiency. All these can be adequately treated if correctly diagnosed.

From Country Gourmet Foods, LLC
We
at Country Gourmet Foods, LLC wish to thank you for your e-mail notifying us
of your concerns relating to Wolfgang Puck's soups, stocks, and broths.
We truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. It is because
of consumers like you, who bring these sorts of issues to our attention,
that we are better able to serve you.
Gluten is present in the soups that contain pasta, wheat flour or barley.
The potato and cornstarch that we use should not contain gluten unless it
was put in unknowingly by the supplier, and it would only contain trace
amounts (less that 1%).
Currently, the Wolfgang Puck soup varieties that DO NOT contain gluten are:
Roast Chicken with Wild Rice, Hearty Lentil & Vegetables, Chicken
Tortilla, Spicy Seven Bean with Italian Sausage, Roast Chicken w/Rice &
Rosemary (formerly Grilled Chicken w/Rice), Organic Thick Hearty Lentil
& Vegetables, Organic Chicken with Wild Rice, Organic Creamy Butternut
Squash, Organic Tortilla, Organic Spicy Bean, Organic French Onion, and
Organic Split Pea, BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THE LABELS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL
VARIETY BECAUSE WE OCCASIONALLY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS BY CHANGING INGREDIENTS.
All of our organic broths -- beef, chicken, and vegetable (green packaging)
are gluten free. Our All Natural Roasted Chicken Stock (red packaging)
is gluten free as well.
Below is the list of Snyder's of Hanover
products that are gluten-free.

We
received your e-mail inquiring if our Pearl Soymilk is gluten-free.
Pearl Original Organic Soymilk is sweetened
with malt syrup, that is derived from barley, which contains gluten.
Pearl Creamy Vanilla, Green Tea, Tropical Delight, Chocolate and Unsweetened
Soymilk do not contain ingredients that are known to be a source of gluten.
However, they have not been tested to confirm they are gluten-free.
