Two strategies were combined and applied in this study to achieve a desired structure and texture of gluten free crackers and to reduce the calorie content. The first strategy is increasing structural heterogeneity of crackers and doughs and a separated-dough method was developed. A butter dough and a water dough were prepared separately and mixed together and the influence of mixing time was investigated. In the second strategy, which is the incorporation of a structuring material, powdered cellulose and fibrillated cellulose were incorporated in formulation to replace flour and pregelatinised starch with enhanced health benefits of low calorie and high fibre. Powdered cellulose played the role of the skeleton of the gluten free crackers. A laminar structure was observed in crackers when powdered cellulose was initially added to the butter dough. The crackers exhibit high thickness, hardness and fracturability and sharp sound emission which are typically observed in wheat crackers. Pregelatinised starch can be replaced by fibrillated cellulose at a lower addition level.

A child with Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis and celiac disease: accidental association or two different aspects of the same condition?

Background: Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare auto-inflammatory disease that mainly affects children, and manifests with single or multiple painful bone lesions. Due to the lack of specific laboratory markers, CNO diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from different conditions, first and foremost bacterial osteomyelitis and malignancies. Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WBMR) and bone biopsy are the gold standard for the diagnosis.

Background: Alkylresorcinols are a well-established biomarker for whole grain intake. There is evidence suggesting that total plasma alkylresorcinol concentration may also be used as a biomarker for gluten intake in adults.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if total alkylresorcinol concentration is a valid biomarker for gluten intake in young children.
Coeliac disease: complications and comorbidities.

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by small intestinal villus atrophy and inflammation upon exposure to gluten. It has a global prevalence of approximately 1%. Although the gluten-free diet can be an effective treatment, this diet is burdensome with practical difficulties and frequent inadvertent gluten exposure.

Introduction: A gluten-free (GF) diet, the only treatment for people living with coeliac disease (CD), is challenging, and international guidelines highlight the valuable role of healthcare professionals in enabling self-management. The study aimed to explore the acceptability of telephone and online video consultations for adults with CD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of an online and paper survey was promoted to adults with CD.
Coconut ( L.) and Carob ( L.) Flours Dietary Fibers Differentially Impact Fecal Microbiota Composition and Metabolic Outputs In Vitro.

Alternative flours can reveal beneficial health effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of dietary fibers (DFs) of coconut and carob flours on colonic microbiota compositions and function. Coconut flour DFs were found to be dominated by mannose-containing polysaccharides by gas chromatography (GC)/MS and spectrophotometer, whereas glucose and uronic acid were the main monosaccharide moieties in carob flour DFs.
