Gluten recovery

A strict gluten-free regimen involves the exclusion of many articles of the diet, in addition to the obvious ones such as bread, biscuits, and cakes it is important that the gluten-free diet should be acceptable to the patient and nutritionally adequate. If a strict gluten-free regimen is instituted, 3 responses are possible complete recovery, partial recovery, or no effect. 

The effect of reintroduction of gluten is readily demonstrated in patients who show complete recovery it is difficult to study, however, in those that do not return to normal. In the first group the reintroduction of wheat gluten or appropriate fractions has been shown to cause many effects including steatorrhea. The other effects of reintroduction of gluten will be discussed in detail later. 

Corn germ meal (21% protein) is the dried residue left from oil recovery from germ. It has high absorbency for liquids, such as molasses and tallow, but the primary use is as an ingredient in com gluten feed. 

Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet leads to mucosal recovery in celiac disease and reduces the risks of bowel malignancy. TGA can be used as a marker for monitoring dietary compliance in addition to its diagnostic role. ... 

In the present work the effect of temperature on the rheological behaviour of wheat gluten in D20 is compared to that in water. The viscoelastic response was studied in shear by combining dynamical measurements and creep and recovery tests, in order to encompass a large timescale. 

Figure 2 Examples of creep and creep recovery curves of gluten (Olympic x Gabo cross line -/17 + 18/-) in water and in deuterium dioxide. Temperature 35°C creep stress was 40 Pa for the sample in water and 75 Pa for the sample in D20...

Figure 4 Variations with temperature of the steady state recoverable compliance Je° (a), and of the contribution (Jf — JN°) of slow retardation mechanisms to Je° (b). Gluten from Olympic x Gabo cross line -jl7 + 18/-) in water (filled symbols) and in deuterium dioxide (empty symbols). Je° was obtained from the recovery curves...
