“…Adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD) is essential for the control of the disease [ 5 ]. Availability of gluten-free (GF) food is one of the most important factors that determine appropriate adherence to GFD [ 6 ]. While medical shops and local stores were allowed to remain open to fulfill the general need of citizens, GF food was not frequently available in all these local stores.…”

Aims Lockdown and restricted mobility due to the pandemic of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely affected the continuity of healthcare of patients with acute and chronic diseases. We evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on the adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD), symptom control, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with celiac disease (CeD). Methods A questionnaire, consisting of both ad-hoc and validated questions, was created after review of literature, group discussions, and expert meetings. Standardized questionnaires namely CeD adherence test (CDAT), celiac symptom index score, and CeD-related QOL were used. The web-based questionnaire was sent to 3130 patients via social media and 452 responses (14.4%) were received. Also, additional 68 patients (not available on any social media application) were interviewed telephonically by a trained dietitian. Results Overall, 505 patients (females: 318; mean age: 24.1±14.2 years) were included. While only 6.7% ( n = 34) had poor compliance to GFD (CDAT > 17) before COVID-19 pandemic, it almost doubled to 12.6% ( n = 64) during the COVID-19 pandemic times ( p = 0.02). Furthermore, 4.9% ( n = 25) of patients were diagnosed contacting COVID-19. Interestingly, 73.2% ( n = 370) patients preferred online appointment than physical appointment. Most common difficulties faced during lockdown period were high delivery charges for getting gluten-free (GF) food at home (54.4%), increased prices of regular GF food (43.1%), and travelling long distance to arrange GF food (44.9%). Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected the adherence, symptom control, and QOL in patients with CeD, attributable to unavailability, shortage of money, and heightened cost of GF food. The pandemic has offered an opportunity to practice teleconsultation approach for patients with CeD.

“…This includes not just restriction of foods but also advising a well-balanced diet tailored to each individual patient. 72 , 73 There is also a need for availability of reliable gluten-free food in the food supply chain and legislation for maintenance of quality control of gluten-free food in the Asian food industry.…”

“…bread, pasta, baked goods, cereal-derived beverages such as beer, etc. 129 Oat can be safely recommended nowadays for coeliac patients if it is not contaminated with gluten-containing cereals (especially during the harvesting, transportation, storage or production). 130 Prohibited cereals can be substituted by other sources of complex carbohydrates such as rice or corn, some pseudo-cereals, like sorghum, millet, quinoa, or by flours derived from almond, poppy seed, chestnut, coconut, pumpkin seed or sesame, all of which are naturally gluten-free.…”

Introduction Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a chronic, pruritic, gluten‐induced skin disorder characterized by subepidermal granular IgA deposition and a variable degree of enteropathy identical to that seen in coeliac disease. So far, there has been no European consensus about the management of DH. Methods The guidelines were created by small subgroups of a guideline committee consisting of 26 specialists from various medical fields and one patients’ representative. The members of the committee then discussed the guidelines and voted for the final version at two consensus meetings. The guidelines were developed under the support of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) and in collaboration with the European Dermatology Forum (EDF). Results The guidelines summarize evidence‐based and expert‐based recommendations (S2 level) for the management of DH (see Appendix). Conclusion These guidelines will improve the quality of management of DH and support dermatologists in their diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
