Coeliac diseaseCoeliac disease• „Social disease” - lifelong condition• Changed the general/professional opinion

– more frequent 1:100– not exclusively a childhood disease – difficult to diagnose

• atypical/silent/latent forms• associated diseases, complications

• Rate of diagnosis: 1 : 5 – 1 : 20 ÷ 50• Special one: no cure, no medication vs. exclusive

therapy=eating GF

PatientPatient• Long diagnostic period and way • Lost in the healthcare system and feel alone• The diagnosis is a milestone• „Unexpected”diagnosis, „unknown” illness, „funny”

treatment , „fad” diet• Lifelong condition compliance + lifelong learning• Prevention of further complications • Traditional eating habits have to be changed• Quality of life is different (lower + more difficult)• Gluten-sensitive patient = consumer

DiagnosisDiagnosis• Important moment in patient’s life• Diagnosis: frequent wrong and/or late• ‘Case-finding’, screening of risk-groups, family-

members - improving• Co-operation of specialists: necessary and

important• Compliance is essential• In case of refused treatment/diagnosis

complications and new symptoms• Dynamic improvement of diagnostic tools

Treatment = Treatment = DietDiet

• Strict, lifelong diet = exclusion of gluten-containing cereals (wheat, rye and barley)

• Complicated/unknown/special - wheat flour is widely used by the food industry

• Limited availability of GF food• High price of dietary products = costly diet• Naturally GF foods: usually contaminated• Codex Alimentarius and EU-regulations –

world- and Europe-wide standard

Healthcare systemHealthcare system

• Very low awareness/ untrained HCP• Shorter diagnostic period/way = lower costs • Screening policy (risk-groups, first degree relatives of

coeliac patients) changed• Patient care = regular follow-up + education

SUCCESS• Co-operation with patients’ organisations

Target: good health and better QoL of coeliacs

Social supportSocial support

• Dietetic products are 3-10-times more expensive than the similar normal products

• Extra costs are not compensated• Missing financial support non-compliance

serious complications and illnesses • Social support of recently diagnosed aged people

is unsolved

Difficulties in MEDICEL countriesDifficulties in MEDICEL countries• Difficult to collect correct information about the GF

diet (low Internet penetration, language problem)• The choice and availability of GF dietetic foods are

limited as well the uncontaminated naturally GF food

• The globalisation changes the eating habits and the traditions

• The healthcare systems are not everywhere ready for diagnosing, testing and treating more coeliacs

• The world financial-economic crises has a significantly negative impact of the development of the Mediterranean area

MEDICEL-AOECS co-opreationMEDICEL-AOECS co-opreation• Where coeliac society does not exist yet, AOECS can

advise people who wants/are ready to built-up and run a patients’ organisation

• Solving the language problem: AOECS member associations can offer continuous consultation (sending scientific/information materials, answering patients’ questions, sending food information/lists, etc.)

• AOECS can invite new and outside Europe associations for workshops, conferences and meetings, can help to organise scientific conferences, trainings for medical professionals

• International Coeliac Day – join to the yearly event for raising awareness of CD
