Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Bowels
DEF

[The disorders] resulting from the ingestion of gluten including: gluten ataxia, dermatitis herpetiformis, non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease.

OBS

The term gluten intolerance has been used as a synonym of [celiac disease] and to indicate that a patient experiences a clinical improvement after starting a [gluten-free diet], even when they do not have [celiac disease].... However,... the term gluten intolerance is non-specific and carries inherent weaknesses and contradictions. Because of these contradictions,... the term "gluten intolerance" should not be used and [the term] "gluten-related disorders" [should] be used instead.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines diverses
  • Intestins
DEF

Troubles causés par l'ingestion de gluten tels que l'ataxie liée au gluten, la dermatite herpétiforme, la sensibilité au gluten non cœliaque et la maladie cœliaque.

OBS

Le terme «intolérance au gluten» a été utilisé comme synonyme de «maladie cœliaque» et pour indiquer qu'un patient subit une amélioration clinique après avoir commencé un régime sans gluten, même lorsqu'il n'a pas de maladie cœliaque. Cependant, le terme «intolérance au gluten» est non spécifique et comporte des faiblesses et des contradictions inhérentes. En raison de ces contradictions, il faut plutôt employer le terme «troubles liés au gluten».

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Food Industries
CONT

The consistency of "sticky" rice is determined by two kinds of starch in the kernels, amylose and amylopectin. The more amylopectin, the stickier the texture. Glutinous rice is easily distinguished from other varieties by its milky colour. Most widely consumed where it is grown - mainly in dry areas of northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia - it is often used as an ingredient in sweet dishes and snacks, and for brewing beer.

OBS

Despite its name [glutinous rice], this rice, widely used in Chinese cooking, is completely gluten-free. When boiled it becomes sweet and sticky and is thus used mainly in baking and confectionery, and also for making beer.(There are two varieties, black and white).

French

Domaine(s)

El arroz glutinoso (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa o Oryza glutinosa; también denominado arroz pegajoso y arroz dulce) es un tipo de arroz de grano corto que se vuelve pegajoso cuando se cocina. Se denomina glutinoso (del latín glūtinōsus) por lo pegajoso que es y no porque contenga gluten. No debe confundirse con otros arroces asiáticos que poseen este efecto pegajoso, el arroz glutinoso es más pegajoso que estos arroces.
