Coeliac New Zealand

It is important to prevent contamination of your gluten-free and gluten-containing foods. Here are some tips to reduce the chance of contamination in your household:
- Always use clean food preparation areas, appliances, boards, utensils and hands i.e. washed with warm soapy water or wiped clean of crumbs or flour dust.
- Always use fresh water and clean oil for cooking gluten-free food. Gluten does not dissolve at high temperatures.
- Store gluten-free and gluten-containing food separately and label clearly, especially after being removed from its original packaging.
- Have dedicated butter and spreads and label them clearly as GF only!
- Clean your shared toaster or sandwich press regularly to reduce cross-contact risk. A separate toaster may be preferred. Toastabags are also available from the Coeliac New Zealand website coeliac.org.nz
- For PHARMACEUTICALS examine the packaging of over-the-counter medications and check the Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) leaflet of prescription medication. If there is no mention of gluten, then the medication is suitable. Talk to a pharmacist or health professional if you are concerned.

Thursday the 8th of August, at 6:30pm
Speaker: Dr Tina Baik

Dr Tina Nahyeon Baik BPharm MBCHB - Dr. Tina is a Research Doctor at Optimal Clinical Trials with a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Otago and a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of Auckland. She has over ten years of experience in the acute hospital setting as a Senior Registered Medical Officer in Auckland, covering all medical specialities including Cardiology, Respiratory, Transplant, Gastroenterology, and Gerontology. She has a particular interest in Coeliac Disease and Obesity and has tutored medical students in clinical skills and communication. In her free time, she enjoys running, music, and spending time with family and friends.

New Zealand is a hub for cutting-edge research on coeliac disease, Dr Tina Baik will look into the promising avenues of clinical trials in the search for effective treatments.

To learn more about the online resilience programme designed for individuals with coeliac disease, visit:

https://www.coeliac.mindovergut.com/.

Developed by Associate Professor and Clinical Psychologist Simon Knowles, this free, evidence-based 5-week program offers valuable support tailored to the needs of those with coeliac disease.

The two-way relationship between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract (i.e. gut-brain axis) is well established, whereby changes in the gut impact psychological well-being and vice versa. Coeliac disease can cause the composition of microorganisms in the gut (i.e. gut microbiome) to become unbalanced (i.e., dysbiosis). Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome has been linked to mental health issues such as depression, which itself is associated with poorer health management, both generally and in coeliac disease specifically (e.g. poorer adherence to the gluten-free diet).

This is the last chance to contribute to the health survey in 2024, which closes on the 16th of July.

It is important that as many people as possible, living with coeliac disease contribute to this data so that an accurate assessment of the needs of all New Zealanders with the condition and their families are included. Have your say today!

Access the study information and the survey using the following link HERE. https://otago.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXuEpvBfUjswAB0?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR25LV7pS5tep-t33NBamT3yNlcmwKyz0t_buvsuXiQn6fwVjrv_XU8QuGs_aem_eKss9Hqywwdqg4KsMxS4xg

You or any family members with diagnosed or suspected coeliac disease are invited to complete the 15-20 minute survey asking New Zealanders about their health and well-being. You can complete the survey for yourself if you have coeliac disease, or on behalf of a child with coeliac disease, but we would like a separate survey completed for each person in your household that has coeliac disease. The study is being run by researchers at Otago University (HD24/023).

Thank you to all of you who have already completed this survey, we really value your insight. The November issue of Coeliac Link will include a summary of the findings.

Thanks to Lifetime - Advice For Life for providing Coeliac NZ volunteer Sam Wemyss (Hawkes Bay Kids Club) and her daughter Evie with an awesome Dream Days experience.

Sam says "I love being part of Coeliac NZ as it allows Evie to feel 'normal' as she put it and I enjoy offering support to other families. Since my daughter was introduced to solids she had tummy problems, and refused to eat due to the association between eating and pain, It took her to the age of 4 to get a confirmed diagnosis of coeliac disease.

Thanks, Sam and Evie for helping raise awareness about the challenges of getting a proper diagnosis. If you are concerned you react to dietary gluten take the online self-assessment (coeliac.org.nz) or talk to a health professional.

Friday the 28th of June is a public holiday it is the day that New Zealand recognises Matariki this year. Each year it occurs on a different day because it is the beginning of the Maori New Year. The new year begins with the first new moon following the appearance of the Matariki cluster.

It is a time of:
• Remembrance – honouring those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki
• Celebrating the present – gathering together to give thanks for what we have
• Looking to the future – looking forward to the promise of a new year.

We hope the additional public holiday provides you with time to gather with your whanau and celebrate being together. And if you are thinking about travel plans in the future you might like to read the article below.

A quick message from Wendy Bremner our General Manager.
Thanks to our dedicated team of staff who work hard to deliver against the key priorities of the organisation. This photo was taken at our 50th anniversary AGM on Saturday 22 June 2024. From left to right: Suzanne Aitken joined the team last year as our dietary education manager and has been working towards getting more consistency for safer eating options outside the home and providing valuable dietetic input to the organisation. Fred Tan our administration and membership manager is the glue that holds us all together, he manages all the administration and membership functions of the organisation, and is often the person you talk to as members. Me, Wendy Bremner General Manager, next to Fred and then Dana Alexander our Sales and Marketing manager who has been on staff the longest and has worked tirelessly this year building on the strong stakeholder relationships she has developed to ensure we have had excellent support for the conference and awareness campaigns as well as building trust and industry credibility of our crossed grain logo. On the right Karina Ledwos recently taking over the mantel from Lisa in the Health Promotion Manager role and she will work closely with our volunteers to raise awareness about coeliac disease.

A huge thank you to Coeliac New Zealand Brooke Jordan for using her voice to raise awareness about coeliac disease so others might get an earlier diagnosis in their journey to recovery. Her story was first published in Woman's Day to support Coeliac Awareness Week.

Coeliac disease is a genetic condition, but not everyone who has a coeliac gene will get coeliac disease; environmental factors and other genes also play a role in the development of the condition. Why coeliac disease is ‘triggered’ in only some people who carry a coeliac gene is not known. Because of the genetic basis of coeliac disease, first-degree relatives (parents, brothers, sisters or children) of a person with coeliac disease have a 10% chance of also having coeliac disease.

GF WRAPS

I’m celebrating Coeliac Awareness Week with these homemade GF wraps, made using Freshlife Chickpea Flour. They’re super simple to make and can be used to make tacos, wraps, stuffed savoury crepes and more.

Makes 6 wraps

2 tsp cumin seeds

1 cup FreshLife chickpea flour

1 cup water

1 tablespoon oil

½ tsp sea salt

Oil to grease pan

Toast the cumin seeds in a pan, without oil, until they’re fragrant – about 1 minute on medium.

In a bowl mix all the ingredients and whisk to a smooth batter. Leave to sit for 30 minutes or until thickened.

Brush a pan lightly with oil and heat to medium. Pour enough batter (about ¼ cup) into the pan and swirl it to spread the batter out in a large thin circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Thanks, Nici Wickes for providing inspirational gluten-free recipes to encourage those who medically need to follow the diet following a diagnosis of coeliac disease to be a bit more creative in the kitchen!
