Miscellaneous

Duhring Disease, also known as Dermatitis Herpetiformis, is a chronic skin condition caused by a reaction to gluten ingestion. We use the term Duhring's disease in our books for easier reading and pronunciation for young readers. However, we recognise some families may prefer to use the medical term and we encourage open discussion about this condition with children, including its alternative names.

Gluten cross-contact and gluten cross-contamination refer to the unintentional transfer of gluten from a food item containing gluten to a gluten-free food item. Historically, the two terms had slightly different meanings. Gluten cross-contact referred to the potential for a food item to come into contact with gluten during preparation, processing, or handling, which may result in trace amounts of gluten being transferred to the food item. Gluten cross-contamination referred to the actual transfer of gluten from a food item containing gluten to a gluten-free food item, resulting in the gluten-free item no longer being safe for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten-sensitivity.

Nowadays, the two terms are often used interchangeably depending on global location. We use the term "cross-contact" to cater to a wider international market.

Our books help gluten-free kids, families and educators understand the risks and educate them on the precautions they can take to prevent unintentional gluten exposure.

Gluten sensitivity and gluten intolerance are terms often used interchangeably around the globe.

Gluten sensitivity describes a condition in which a person experiences a range of symptoms after consuming gluten-containing foods, without demonstrating any damage to the lining of the small intestine or the antibodies typically associated with coeliac disease. Symptoms may include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, headache, fatigue, and other non-specific symptoms.

Gluten intolerance, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses any negative reaction to gluten. This includes coeliac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder causing damage to the lining of the small intestine, as well as non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, and other conditions.

It is worth noting that our books cater to kids living gluten-free lifestyles for various medical reasons, including gluten sensitivity, coeliac disease, duhring's disease (dermatitis herpetiformis), combined wheat allergy, and more.
