It is an unfortunate reality that the majority of patients with eating disorders will experience gastrointestinal discomfort and are at greater risk for development of gastrointestinal disease.

Helping patients attain long-term success on a delicious, nutritious low FODMAP diet means supporting them as they learn the foods and portions they tolerate. Label and menu reading, determining appropriate portion sizes, communicating dietary needs to others and finding delicious low FODMAP substitutes can all be challenging.

Despite the increasing incidence of celiac disease among women, few studies have addressed the association between celiac disease in pregnancy and birth defects. A study by Nathalie Auger et al. examines the risk for complications during fetal development among mothers with celiac disease.

A new study examines the long-term effects celiac disease has on mothers’ children and highlights their increased infectious morbidity compared to children of mothers without celiac disease.

Gluten-free but not symptom-free? A low-FODMAP diet may help resolve symptoms in individuals with celiac disease who report strict adherence to the gluten-free diet.

In the absence of any pragmatic head-to-head trials comparing the LFD, GFD and TDA for the management of IBS, this randomised trial sought to investigate the efficacy, acceptability, nutritional and stool microbial changes associated with these diets.

2022 is a special year at Dr. Schär as we celebrate our 100th year of commitment to providing high quality food for people with special nutritional needs. Since our founding in 1922 in the beautiful Alps, we have remained committed to making nutrition inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.

A gluten-free diet can provide relief for a variety of GI conditions. However, for patients with SIBO or IBS, determining whether a gluten-free diet is appropriate can be particularly tricky.

The Dr. Schär Institute Award grants $10,000 to a registered dietitian (or group of registered dietitians) to develop a project designed to bring their local community together through food and nutrition education. This year, we’re excited to announce the grant will support Boston Children’s: A Cooking-Based Intervention for Food Insecure Families with Celiac Disease to Improve Access to Food, Quality of Life, and Gluten-Free Dietary Adherence.
