Resumen
Introducción: la enfermedad celiaca (EC) es un trastorno sistemico,mediado inmunologicamente y desencadenado por la ingestion de gluten en individuos geneticamente susceptibles. El unico tratamiento es una dieta libre de gluten estricta y de por vida, que requiere cambiar un habito tan cotidiano y consolidado como la alimentación.Objetivos: conocer los servicios gastronomicos comerciales del distrito centro de la ciudad de Santa Fe que brindan alimentos libres de gluten, la variedad de preparaciones aptas y el conocimiento de los manipuladores sobre la enfermedad y la manipulación segura de estos alimentos.Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal, aplicado a una muestra de 80 servicios gastronomicos. Se realizaron dos encuestas (una al manipulador de alimentos y otra al encargado del establecimiento) y una observación directa de la lista de menus. Resultados: el 90% de los manipuladores informo conocer que es la EC. El 10% (n=8) de los establecimientos contaba con al menos un menu libre de gluten, y de estos, solo el 12,5% (1) cumplia con todas las pautas para la elaboracion de alimentos libres de gluten. El 50% (4) contaba con cinco o mas platos sin gluten, limitandose la variedad a farinaceos, carnes con guarnicion y ensaladas. Conclusiones: los manipuladores de alimentos conocen algunos aspectos de la EC, sin embargo, son escasos los establecimientos que brindan preparaciones seguras libres de gluten. Es necesario dar mayores oportunidades sociales a las personas con EC a fin de reducir el riesgo de transgresiones alimentarias.
Introduction: celiac disease (CD) is a systemic disorder, mediated immunologically and triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The only treatment is a strict gluten-free diet for life, which requires changed a habit as daily and consolidated as food. Objectives: to know the commercial gastronomic services of the downtown district of the city of Santa Fe that offer gluten-free foods, the variety of suitable preparations and the knowledge of the manipulators about the disease and the safe handling of these foods. Materials and methods: descriptive, observational and transversal study, applied to a sample of 80 gastronomic services. Two surveys were carried out (one to the food handler and another to the establishment manager) and a direct observation of the menu list. Results: the 90% of the food handlers were informed about the disease. 10% of the facilities (n=8) had at least one glutenfree menu, of which just only a 12.5% (1) fulfilled all the requirements for the processing of gluten-free foodstuffs. Only a 50% (4) had five or more gluten-free dishes which were mainly prepared with starchy products, garnished meat and vegetables. Conclusions: while many food handlers know certain aspects of CD, only a few food facilities provide safe glutenfree preparations. It is necessary to promote greater social opportunities to those suffering from CD in order to reduce the risk of dietary infringements.
