    disease or dermatitis herpetiformis (a gluten
    induced skin sensitivity).
  • gluten is a mixture of proteins (glutenin and
    gliadin) found in some cereals, particularly
    wheat
  • gliadin component of gluten is responsible for
    coeliac disease.

10
Gluten Free Requirements - coeliac disease
  • gluten-free special dietary requirements diet is
    not the same as a wheat-free diet,
  • some gluten-free foods are not wheat free.
  • it is still unknown how or exactly why gluten

13
Egg Free special dietary requirements
  • allergy to eggs can cause a variety of symptoms
    such as gastrointestinal discomfort, skin rash,
    hives, and breathing difficulties.
  • in serious cases, life threatening reactions
    called anaphylaxis.
  • must ensure that food labels are carefully read
    to ensure that the individual knows what products
    may contain eggs or egg byproducts, such as
    globulin, livetin, mayonnaise, meringue,
    lysozyme,ovalbumin, ovomucin, ovomucoid and
    ovovitellinor.

14
Lactose Intolerant
  • a type of food intolerance - inadequate amounts
    of the lactase enzyme available to break down
    lactose- the disaccharide in milk into glucose
    and galactose
  • Management involves firstly finding the lactose
    dose that the person can tolerate without
    symptoms,
  • Secondly maintaining a balanced diet which
    provides adequate amounts of calcium and other
    nutrients provided by dairy foods.

15
Dairy Free Diet
  • The aim of the Dairy-Free Diet is to eliminate
    major and minor sources of dairy foods and their
    derivatives in order to prevent symptoms of the
    food intolerance or allergy from occurring
  • A dairy intolerance or allergy is often
    implicated in eczema, sinusitis, rhinitis,
    headache, migraine, asthma and digestive
    disturbances.

16
DIET SHOULD BE ADEQUATE IN CALCIUM
  • The following non-dairy foods are good sources of
    calcium1. Soy products. Use soy milk (fortified
    with calcium), soy-based yoghurts and tofu
    ice-cream.2. Fish with soft, edible bones such
    as sardines, herrings and tinned salmon.3. Green
    vegetables such as Chinese greens, kale and
    broccoli. 4. Almonds, brazil nuts, sunflower and
    sesame seeds.5. Baked beans.6.
    Calcium-fortified cereals and bread (check
    labels).

17
DIET SHOULD ELIMINATE
  • 1. Dairy (animal) milk in all forms - whole,
    skim/skimmed, modified milk, evaporated and
    condensed milk, milk powder, non-fat milk solids,
    whey, buttermilk.2. Cream, ice-cream, yoghurt,
    custard, dairy desserts, mousses, cheesecakes,
    milk chocolate.3. Cheese, cottage cheese,
    ricotta cheese, cream cheese, cheese spreads,
    cheese slices, cheese-flavoured snack foods,
    milk-based sauces, mornays.4. Butter and
    margarine (small amounts of milk protein).NOTE
    Check all food labels for ingredients derived
    from animals milk such as whey, non-fat milk
    solids, casein, caseinate. Some people may be
    able to tolerate goats milk but often this
    contains the same allergenic proteins as cows
    milk.

Nut Allergy
  • Allergic reaction to nuts can progress rapidly to
    anaphylaxis. Peanut allergy is responsible for
    more deaths than any other type of allergy.
  • strictly avoiding nuts, including peanuts and
    tree nuts like cashews and walnuts, and food
    containing nuts is the only way to prevent a
    reaction
  • it is not always easy to avoid these foods since
    many unsuspecting products contain nuts.

Common Food Allergens
  • A food allergy is an immune system response to a
    food that the body mistakenly believes is
    harmful.
  • Although an individual could be allergic to any
    food, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats,
    there are eight foods that account for 90 of all
    food-allergic reactions. These are milk, egg,
    peanut, tree nut (walnut, cashew, etc.), fish,
    shellfish, soy, and wheat.
  • Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that
    is rapid in onset and may cause death.
