ABSTRACT
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of Native-complex functional food to correct nutritional disorders and to normalize gastrointestinal motor activity in celiac disease (CD). METHODS: 20 CD patients with constipation and metabolic disorders were included in the study (age 31.8?9.5 years, male to female ratio 1:5.3). The diagnosis of CD was confirmed by clinical and anamnestic data, endoscopy, histopathology of duodenal biopsy specimens, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQS typing. All patients received Native-complex Fucus jelly (Kelp jelly) within 2 months. RESULTS: At the beginning of the study45% of patients had stools corresponding to the Bristol Stool Form ScaleType 1,40% of patients had Type 2 stools and 15% of patient had Type 3 stools. 15 patients (75%) showed a decrease in fat mass and 13 patients (65%) showed a decrease in fat-free mass indicated by bloimpedance measurement. All patients had low values of total bacterial counts and increased abundance of pathobionts including fungi and viruses in fecal microbiota. Supple- mentary nutrition significantly improved symptoms, intestinal circadian rhythms and stool consistency in CD patients. At the end of the study 70% of patients had daily bowel movements, 30% of patients had stools every other day. The average stool frequency was 5,95 ? 1,80 per week. 80% of patients had Type 4 or Type 5 stools,20% of patients had Type 3 stools according to the Bristol Scale. Supplementary nutrition significantly improved gut microbiota profile. CONCLUSION: Long-term gluten-free diet in celiac disease leads to a decrease in dietary fiber and polysaccharides consumption and promotes intestinal dysbiosis. Functional foods improve symptoms; stool consistency and gut microbiota profile in adult celiac patients on gluten-free diet.

Based on the results of a comprehensive study of 35 people aged from 19 to 52 years, among them 20 women and 15 men with celiac disease features of their physiological status were studied, reflecting the severity of the disease and quality of life. The diagnosis was based on the clinical and anamnestic data, endoscopy, histomorphological, immunological and genetic exams. Psychophysiological analysis showed that in celiac disease is characterized by the formation reactions with anxiety, anxiety-phobic, neurotic, affective, and hypochondriacal symptoms. The results of the study emphasized the importance of adaptive physiological capacity of the body to build tolerance to the development of psycho-vegetative, hypochondriacaldepressive and other disorders.

Clinically significant dysplasia of connective tissue in patients with celiac disease is often responsible for various visceral disorders. Different disturbances of motor and evacuation functions are often determined in this patients (gastroesophageal reflux, duodenogastral reflux, spastic and hyperkinetic dyskinesia). The clinical course of the celiac disease, associated with connective tissue dysplasia, is characterized by asthenovegetative syndrome, reduced tolerance to physical activity, general weakness, fatigue and emotional instability. These data should be considered in choosing a treatment.
