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
Low awareness Low awareness

Other specialists lowcathegories: good/average/low
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
ScienceScience• Worldwide popular research topic (genetics,
immunology, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)• ESPGHAN, Prolamin Working Group, EU, etc.• International conferences• EU-funded projects:
– Cluster Project– Prevent CD– CDMEDICS
• Threshold-research– Carlo Catassi et al.: Am J Clin Nutr 2007; 160-6– Anna Gibert et al.: European Journal of Gastroenterology
and Hepatology 2006, 18:1187-1195

societies • Consultation with psychologist and dietetitian
Patients’ associationsPatients’ associations
- Encouraged civil society movements- Increase awareness of coeliac disease among
healthcare professionals and the general population
- Providing patients with relevant information- Protecting the rights of coeliac consumers- Projects:
- ‘Eating out GF’
- Traditional-natural-glutenfree- ICD
Patients’ associationsPatients’ associations
Difficult to– establish a society (legal procedure)– find enthusiastic, engaged and educated people
for run a society (volunteers) – find members– comply with national and international legal
requirements and rules– find funding (fundraising)– be transparent, authentic and reliable

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
European Licencing System
- European Charta
- AOECS Standard
Safe, controlled = reliable food products
for coeliacs everywhere
in Europe (and Worldwide)

AOECS – MEDICEL co-operationAOECS – MEDICEL co-operation • Ideal platform to networking and assist the
formation and strengthening of coeliac societies/patient’s support groups
• Help in the formulation of awareness campaigns as well as in the dissemination of information in the local language
• Co-operation in the organisation of workshops, conferences and meetings incl. scientific conferences and training sessions directed towards tacking the problems of CD in these countries
