Economic burden of a gluten‐free diet
Abstract
Background Coeliac disease is a common, autoimmune disorder, for which the only treatment is lifelong adherence to a gluten‐free diet. This study evaluates the economic burden of adhering to a gluten‐free diet. Methods A market basket of products identified by name brand, weight or package size for both regular wheat‐based products and gluten‐free counterparts was developed. The differences in price between purchase venues, both type of store (general grocery store, an upscale grocery store and a health food store and four internet‐based grocery sites) and region was also analysed. Results Availability of gluten‐free products varied between the different venues, regular grocery stores carried 36%, while upscale markets carried 41%, and health food stores 94%, compared with 100% availability on the internet. Overall, every gluten‐free product was more expensive than their wheat‐based counterpart (P ≤ 0.05). Bread and pasta was twice as expensive as their wheat‐based counterparts. Cost was affected more by shopping venue than geographic location. Conclusions This study demonstrated that gluten‐free foods have poor availability and are more expensive than their gluten‐containing counterparts. The impact of these findings on dietary compliance and the quality of life needs to be addressed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
