Dr. Schär Institute

The topics addressed in this edition of the Forum – birth complications and osteoporosis linked to coeliac disease, combined with the more frequent occurrence of this condition in women – make coeliac disease one of the topics which are of primary interest for women, especially those of childbearing age.

This edition is on the field of the microbiome and it relationship to gluten-induced diseases and celiac disease. We have been able to find well-known authors who will shed light on the current state of science and share useful information for your everyday practice.

Celiac disease is a clinical chameleon – it appears in many different forms and is often missed. However, it is of worldwide importance. Recent studies have redrawn the global map of celiac disease and revealed surprising results.

In this issue of the Forum we focus on the low FODMAP diet for the management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

For ten years now, Dr. Schär has been collaborating with its own Research and Development department, the R&D Center  in the AREA Science Park in Trieste. To mark its anniversary, Dr. Schär invited international scientists to a symposium at the end of 2013, in order to discuss the current state of research and the gluten-free future. Today's edition of our Forum is devoted to this exciting topic, and allows you to take part in this special event with abstracts of the presentations.Through  direct links in the summaries, you have the ability to access the lectures.
