Celiac disease requires a strict gluten free diet for life for proper recovery. This results in higher feeding costs.
To analyze the cost of basic food basket (BFB) compared to a basket especially designed for celiac patients in Chile and to estimate the increment in food spending that these patients experience.
The cost of a daily BFB was calculated using the National Socioeconomic Characterization Enquiry (CASEN) methodology of the Ministry of Planning and the food prices delivered by the National Institute of Statistics for consumers, adjusted according to consumer prices at june 2007. To calculate the cost of the basket for celiac disease, equivalent foods without gluten were considered. Their daily and monthly values and the percentage difference between them were analyzed, by food groups and type of basket.
The monthly value of BFB and a basket for a celiac is, at June 2007, Ch $ 30.251 and Ch $ 57.250, respectively. This represents an increase in feeding costs for celiac patients of 89%.
The greater cost of food without gluten represents limitation in the budget of celiac patients.
乳糜泻患者需要终身严格遵循无麸质饮食以实现良好康复。这导致了更高的饮食成本。
分析智利基本食物篮（BFB）与专门为乳糜泻患者设计的食物篮的成本，并估算这些患者食品支出的增量。
使用规划部的国家社会经济特征调查（CASEN）方法以及国家统计局提供的消费者食品价格来计算每日基本食物篮的成本，并根据2007年6月的消费者价格进行调整。为计算乳糜泻患者食物篮的成本，考虑了无麸质的等效食物。按食物类别和食物篮类型分析了它们的每日和每月价值以及两者之间的百分比差异。
在2007年6月，基本食物篮和乳糜泻患者食物篮的每月价值分别为30251智利比索和57250智利比索。这表明乳糜泻患者的饮食成本增加了89%。
无麸质食品成本更高，这限制了乳糜泻患者的预算。
