Intestinal Conditions Nontropical sprue (medical condition): Digestive intolerance to gluten in the diet. Nontropical sprue (medical condition): A genetic digestive intolerance to gluten in the diet caused by damage to the intestinal villi with an underlying autoimmune cause. Celiac is believed to be one of the most under-diagnosed and thus misdiagnosed conditions in America. Although the diagnosis rate is about 1 in 5000, the actual estimated prevalence may be as high as 1 in 250. Celiac disease is poorly understood by many American doctors, and may be misdiagnosed as various other digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Nontropical sprue : Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. Specifically, tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, on the lining of the small intestine are lost. Nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream through these villi. Without villi, a person becomes malnourishedregardless of the quantity of food eaten.

The lining of the small intestine is damaged in response to ingestion of gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, possibly oats, and their derivatives. The intestines contain projections (called villi) that normally absorb nutrients. In undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease, these villi become flattened and the ability to absorb nutrients properly is altered. As a result, several other organ systems may also be affected. The disease can first develop at any point in life from infancy to late adulthood. Digestive System Celiac Sprue - Foods to Avoid Dermatitis, Herpetiformis on the Knee

You should NOT begin the gluten-free diet before a diagnosis is made. Doing so will alter future testing for the disease.

Alternative Names: Sprue; Nontropical sprue; Gluten intolerance; Gluten-sensitive enteropathy Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown. Once thought rare, recent research suggests that an estimated 1 of every 133 Americans has celiac disease. However, only a small fraction of people living with it have been diagnosed in the United States at this time. Those with a family member with celiac disease are at greater risk for developing the disease. The disorder is most common in Caucasians and those of European ancestry. Women are affected more commonly than men.

You should NOT begin the gluten-free diet before a diagnosis is made. Doing so will alter future testing for the disease. Vitamin and mineral supplements may be prescribed to correct nutritional deficiencies. Occasionally, corticosteroids (such as prednisone) may also be prescribed for short-term use or if you have refractory sprue. Following a well-balanced, gluten-free diet is generally the only treatment required for achieving wellness and eliminating symptoms. Upon diagnosis, seek consultation from a registered dietitian with a specialty in celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Joining a local and national support group can also be invaluable in helping one to cope with the disease and diet.

nontropical sprue Coeliac disease is clinically very variable and so is defined pathologically as a permanent gluten-sensitive enteropathy. The mucosal lesions seen on upper GI biopsy are the result of an abnormal, genetically determined, cell-mediated immune response to gliadin, a constituent of the gluten found in wheat. A similar response occurs to comparable proteins found in rye and barley. Gluten is not found in oats, rice and maize. Coeliac disease was first identifed by Samuel Gee in 1888. However, it was W. Dicke in the 1950s who identified the dietary link, noting that patients with this condition were apparently cured by the deprivations of World War II, but relapsed when rationing was abolished.
