Abstract
AIM To compare the adherence to gluten-free diet between children with serology-based and biopsy-proven coeliac disease. METHODS Medical records were retrospectively reviewed in 257 Swedish children diagnosed with coeliac disease between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary hospital. Adherence to a gluten-free diet was systematically assessed by trained dietitians at follow-up. Mixed models were used to analyse the dietary adherence by mode of diagnosis (serology-based vs. biopsy-proven). RESULTS After mean 6.3 (SD 2.4) years, there was neither a difference in the dietary adherence over time depending on the mode of diagnosis (OR 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.26, 1.60], p = 0.342), nor if coeliac disease was detected in screening studies (OR 0.74 [95% CI 0.25, 2.17], p = 0.584) or in risk-groups (OR 1.01 [95% CI 0.26, 3.91], p = 0.991) compared to clinically detected diagnosis. Non-adherence to a gluten-free diet increased with age (OR 1.19 [95% CI 1.06, 1.33], p = 0.003). There was no difference in the proportion of patients improving their dietary adherence from non-adherent to adherent over time (p = 0.322). CONCLUSION Mode of diagnosis did not influence the dietary adherence in Swedish children with coeliac disease, although adherence to a gluten-free diet was inversely associated with increasing age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Considering the importance of underlying psychopathological mechanisms that mediate maladaptive eating behaviors in celiac disease (CD) in the determination of cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches, we investigated the impact of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology and disgust propensity on disordered eating attitudes (DEA) and poor gluten-free diet (GFD) compliance in adolescents with CD. METHOD Adolescents with biopsy-proven CD (n = 148, aged 12-18 years) were compared with age- and sex-matched controls (n = 104) in terms of eating attitudes/behaviors, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and disgust propensity, as well as depression and anxiety to rule out depression- and anxiety-related covariates. The clinical implications associated with poor GFD compliance were determined using between-subgroup analysis. Multivariate linear regression and multiple logistic regression were used to identify predictors of DEA and GFD noncompliance, respectively. RESULTS In adolescents with CD, DEA was remarkably associated with obsessive-compulsive symptom severity and disgust propensity, especially in contamination and core disgust sub-dimensions. Obsessionality and disgust propensity were independent predictors of DEA, of which the obsessive-compulsive symptom severity was the most decisive predictor of DEA. Higher DEA severity and lower body mass index were independent predictors of poor GFD compliance. CONCLUSION Higher obsessionality, accompanied by disgust-related evaluative conditioning processes, may contribute to constructing a cognitive network consisting of hypervigilance and catastrophic interpretations towards benign somatic stimulations, food-related preoccupations, and avoidant behaviors in the disordered eating of adolescents with CD. The reciprocal relationship between lifelong GFD and DEA, mediated by obsessionality and disgust propensity, was supported by current findings that could guide clinicians in the management of maladaptive eating behaviors in adolescents with CD.

Maladaptive Food Attitudes and Behaviors in Individuals with Celiac Disease and Their Association with Quality of Life. Dig Dis Sci 2023:10.1007/s10620-023-07912-6. [PMID: 37024737 PMCID: PMC10079145 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-07912-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The only treatment for celiac disease (CeD) is strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). In some individuals the demands of a GFD may contribute to maladaptive eating attitudes and behaviors that impair quality of life (QOL). The Celiac Disease Food Attitudes and Behaviors (CD-FAB) is an easily administered and scored 11-item tool querying potentially maladaptive food attitudes and behaviors resulting from beliefs around gluten exposures and food safety. OBJECTIVES To assess the usefulness of the CD-FAB in establishing the presence of maladaptive food attitudes and behaviors among adults with CeD and to explore the relationship between these attitudes and behaviors and other factors including QOL, anxiety, depression, CeD symptoms and personality traits. METHODS The study is a cross-sectional pilot of 50 adults (mean age 29.6 years) with biopsy-proven CeD who followed a GFD for at least one year and had no self-reported eating disorder diagnosis. High scores on the CD-FAB tool suggest higher disordered eating attitudes and beliefs. RESULTS Compared to lower scores (mean 20.2), higher (worse) CD-FAB scores (mean 54.5) were positively associated with recency of diagnosis, number of CeD-related gastrointestinal symptoms, and the personality trait of neuroticism. Higher CD-FAB scores were statistically and clinically significantly associated with diminished QOL (p < 0.001). The relationship with anxiety and depression was less clear but trended in the expected direction. CONCLUSION The CD-FAB may be a useful tool for dietitians who wish to monitor maladaptive food attitudes and behaviors among their CeD patients, especially in the first-year post-diagnosis.

Abstract
Several chronic digestive conditions are physiologically based on food intolerance, including celiac disease, nonceliac gluten sensitivity, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Patients are expected to follow medically prescribed diets to eliminate identified food triggers to control symptoms. However, the psychological impacts of these dietary approaches are largely unaddressed in clinical practice. Hypervigilance and anxiety regarding food and symptoms, and disordered eating, may emerge and negatively affect outcomes. Clinicians working with pediatric and adult populations with food intolerances should be aware of these psychological comorbidities, and equally emphasize effective ways to help patients manage the mental and physical aspects of their condition.
