Gluten Enteropathy Appearing After Gastric Surgery

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy: Synthesis

The intestinal mucosa of patients with gluten-sensitive enteropathy responds to gluten challenge in vivo with a striking increase in IgA and IgM synthesis. Whether this increase in immunoglobulin synthesis is due in some part to the production of antigliadin antibodies is examined. Using an affinity chromatography technique it has been demonstrated that in six of seven patients with gluten-sens...

Gluten intolerance, gluten enteropathy, and coeliac disease.

Emergence of classic enteropathy after longstanding gluten sensitive oral ulceration.

Gliadin antibody detection in gluten enteropathy

Circulating antigliadin antibody has been described in patients with gluten enteropathy although the prevalence varies in different studies. It has been suggested that the investigation for antigliadin antibody might be useful as a screening test. The object of the present study was to evaluate two different techniques for assaying these antibodies - an indirect immunofluorescent method and an ...

pre-coeliac mucosa: development of gluten enteropathy

Duodenal mucosa showed normal morphology, interepithelial lymphocytes, alkaline phosphatase, and sucrase in a girl with growth retardation and iron deficiency, but normal absorption of lactose and xylose after two years of abnormal stools. Mucosal lactase was low. Fourteen months later mucosal damage consistent with coeliac disease was evident, and gluten intolerance was subsequently confirmed ...
