DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Michaela
The theme of this bachelor thesis is a gluten-free diet not only in the medical treatment of the patients withceliac disease. The particular subject of the theoretic part is a description of the gluten-free diet and all other diseases for which treatment this diet therapy is necessary.It also outlines the contemporary trend of eating gluten-free diet. For the practical part, a qualitative research method was chosen. The research group was comprised of 15 respondents who enrolled in record all consumed food within two weeks. Using the program "Nutriservis", the diets were evaluated according to the average values of energy, proteins and dietary fiber, and, subsequently, compared tothe recommended daily figures. The respondents were divided into three groups according to alimentation. The first group was made up of people with a diet without restrictions, the second group of the patients who suffered from celiac disease andthe last group included people observing a gluten-free diet, without them being proven celiac disease or gluten allergy. The groups were also compared to each other. Next, it was analyzed through interviews why the respondents were holding the gluten-free diet, and whether during that timetheir healthwas changed or improved. The research part of the thesis was to chart the quality menu of the gluten-free diet. Comparing to the non-restricted diet, research has not reached large differences between the particular groups of respondents. The biggest problem of all groups was low fiber intake. From the interviews, investigating why the respondents observed the gluten-free diet and whether it had any positive effect, emerged different responses. For the problem of atopic eczema and migraine compliance, the gluten-free diet has proven a good effect. On the contrary, it is the problem with constipation or digestive problems. In one case, the respondent was convinced about the harmful effect of gluten and therefore had 15 months consumed only gluten-free food. Afterwards he felt less tired than before and, moreover, he should have reduced his weight by 4 kg.
