For people living with celiac disease, this is something they face every day. Celiac disease is an immunologic disorder in which people are allergic to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. While some people are not allergic to gluten and can eat whatever grains they want, some people are and gluten acts like poison ivy to the intestine. In people with celiac disease, gluten sets off an immune reaction that causes the destruction of the lining in the small intestine. People with celiac disease often produce antibodies that can be detected by blood tests. According to David Elliott, M.D., associate professor and director of the Celiac Clinic at the James A. Clifton Center for Digestive Diseases at UI Hospitals and Clinics, nearly one in 200-250 people suffers from celiac disease. The disease affects adults and children.

The body is reacting to a protein called gluten, which is present in grains. Celiac is relatively common in people who have a relative with another autoimmune disorder, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus. If you have a relative with type 1 diabetes, or you have diabetes or other autoimmune disorders in your family, you may want to ask your doctor about being tested for celiac sprue.

Extractions: Celiac Sprue, Coeliac Disease, Gluten Enteropathy, Gluten Intolerance, Gluten Intolerant Enteropathy, Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy, Nontropical Sprue, Wheat Allergy Celiac disease or Celiac Sprue is a malabsorption disorder characterized by a permanent gluten -sensitive enteropathy resulting in malabsorption , failure to thrive and other gastrointestinal manifestations. However, it should not be confused with a food allergy or hypersensitivity to food products. Celiac Sprue is an inherited cell-mediated hypersensitivity involving a tissue-bound immune cell , often delayed, reaction to a food allergen such as wheat, rye, oats, or barley. Gluten , a protein in these grains, is thought to be the offending agent. The onset of the disease has no age restriction but there are many hypotheses related to possible causative factors. In some adults, symptoms leading to a diagnosis of Celiac Sprue have been observed to appear following severe emotional stress, pregnancy, an operation or a viral infection.

HerbClip x Home Health Info Reference Library Gluten-Free : Celiac Disease Printer Friendly Version Celiac disease, also known as coeliac disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, non-tropical sprue, celiac sprue, and gluten intolerant enteropathy, is a chronic digestive disorder found in individuals who experience a toxic immune response when they ingest gluten. Dermatitis herpetiformis is a related skin condition experienced by some celiacs. There is no cure for celiac disease. The only known treatment is lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Ingesting gluten affects the function of the small intestine of celiacs by damaging and/or destroying the absorptive villi. The body then becomes unable to properly absorb nutrients, resulting in potentially life-threatening nutritional deficiencies and even intestinal lymphoma. Celiac disease is thought to have a strong genetic component. The onset of celiac disease has been associated with genes on Chromosome 6 called Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) class II. HLA II genes affect an individual's susceptibility to disease by mediating the interactions between cells of the immune system. An individual may be genetically predisposed to celiac disease, but the actual mechanism of onset is not fully understood. Emotional stress, physical trauma, viral infection, pregnancy, and surgery are some of the factors implicated in the onset of celiac disease.

Extractions: American College of Gastroenterology ORLANDO (November 1, 2004)Patients are receiving initial diagnosis of celiac disease at an older age and with a shorter duration of symptoms, according to a retrospective study presented today at the 69th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology. Findings are based on evaluations of patients from 1952 to 2004 who had celiac disease, a condition where patients cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in foods containing wheat, rye and barley. This study looked at a large group of 590 patients with a diagnosis of celiac disease established by biopsy. Researchers grouped patients based on year of diagnosis and compared over time trends in age at diagnosis, duration of symptoms, mode of presentation including whether they presented with symptoms such as diarrhea, anemia or bone disease or whether the condition was diagnosed through screening. Researchers also looked for presence of malignancy. There was a highly significant negative linear trend in presentation with diarrhea over time and a positive linear trend in patients detected by screening. Trends show patients were diagnosed at an older age since 1980, and there was a significant downward trend in those diagnosed as children or with malignancy. Over the 52 years, there was a markedly significant negative trend in the duration of symptoms.

Extractions: University of Maryland Medical Center Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found that the human protein zonulin, which regulates the permeability of the intestine, is at increased levels during the acute phase of celiac disease. The discovery suggests that increased levels of zonulin are a contributing factor to the development of celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as insulin dependent diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The findings are published in the April 29 issue of the journal Lancet. "Zonulin works like the traffic conductor or the gatekeeper of our body's tissues," says lead author Alessio Fasano, M.D., professor of pediatrics and physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and director of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children. "Our largest gateway is the intestine with its billions of cells. Zonulin opens the spaces between cells allowing some substances to pass through while keeping harmful bacteria and toxins out," explains Dr. Fasano. Earlier research conducted by Dr. Fasano discovered that zonulin is also involved in the regulation of the impenetrable barrier between the blood stream and the brain, known as the blood-brain barrier. Celiac disease offered Dr. Fasano and his team a unique model for understanding the dynamic interaction between zonulin and the immune system. Celiac disease is a genetic disorder that affects one out of every 300 people in Europe, but its prevalence in the United States is not fully known. People who suffer from the disorder are unable to eat foods that contain the protein gluten, which is found in wheat and other grains. The gluten sets off a reaction that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption of nutrients, and other gastrointestinal problems. Celiac disease can be easily treated by avoiding foods with gluten.

Extractions: Last Revised: August 2003 History Celiac disease (CD) is a common and clinically important food allergy with variable manifestations; it is rare in African-Americans and Asian-Americans as compared with the rest of the U.S. population. Since CD can present without gastrointestinal symptoms, the diagnosis is easily overlooked. The estimated prevalence of CD is 1:133 to 1:400 of the U.S. population. There is increased prevalence of CD coexisting with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (~10%), Sjogren's syndrome (~10%), and Down syndrome (~10%). Most of these patients remain undiagnosed. Patients with undiagnosed or untreated CD are at risk for malabsorption, mineral or vitamin deficiency, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and intestinal lymphoma. Celiac disease is an allergy to proteins present in wheat, rye, and barley. It was first described in 1888 as a progressive wasting illness with malabsorption. William Dicke identified the etiologic role of wheat for CD in 1953. The classic intestinal pathology was described in 1954 as villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, and inflammation ( Fig. 1

Extractions: WeNews correspondent Celiac disease affects millions of women, but often goes undiagnosed for years because doctors are unable to detect it. Now, with more studies and women speaking out, the disease is falling under the national spotlight. (WOMENSENEWS)Alice Bast was 29 back in 1990 and excited about becoming a mother for a second time. During the pregnancy she suffered bouts of severe diarrhea, but her doctor said not to worry. The pregnancy went smoothly until two weeks before her due date when she felt the baby had stopped moving. She was soon in the hospital delivering a full-term stillborn girl. It wasn't until after several more miscarriages when she would learn that the whole nightmare could have been prevented if she had followed a gluten-free diet or a diet free of wheat, barley and rye. The cure seemed so simple, but the disease experts call a "clinical chameleon" was complex. Bast suffered from an autoimmune disorder called celiac disease or celiac sprue. The condition occurs when the body attacks itself after the intestine is exposed to the protein gluten. This exposure can lead to a variety of symptoms both mild and traumatic, from indigestion to severe diarrhea to intrauterine growth retardation, which could affect babies born to untreated mothers, as it did in Bast's case. It also causes mal-absorption of other nutrients, such as iron and calcium, leaving patients, particularly women, vulnerable to other serious chronic conditions like osteoporosis and anemia.

Additional Resources 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. Because the body's own immune system causes the damage, celiac disease is considered an autoimmune disorder. However, it is also classified as a disease of malabsorption because nutrients are not absorbed. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy.

E-Mail Celiac disease Celiac disease - common sprue This 60 year old patient presented with a history of diarrhea over several years with recent weight loss (12 kg) for several months. Malabsorption was evident from serologic testing. The patient showed vitamine B -hypovitaminosis, hypocalcemia, hypoproteinema and a deficiency in folic acid. Makroscopically a rough mucosal pattern is seen in the pictures, in severe cases mucosal atrophy may develop. The diagnostic test of choice is histology (minimal 5-7 biopsies), which will show villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia and lymphocytic infiltration. Immunologic testing (endomysium-AB, gliadine- AB, reticulin-Ab,and most recently with the highest specifity AB against tissue glutaminase) prooves the diagnosis and will give valuable information on disease activity during treatment. Therapeutically a glutene- free diet is indicated and might be used diagnostically in cases of inconclusive diagnosis. Celiac disease without mucosal changes After 6 months treatment with a gluten-free diet the mucosa shows a normal appearance. The diarrhea subsides, the patient gains 5 kg in weight. In case of the above discribed symptoms a duodenal biopsy has to be performed even in a normal duodenal mucosa.
