Dietary compliance in celiac disease

نویسنده

چکیده

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder that causes severe architectural disturbance in the small intestinal mucosa of genetically-predisposed individuals. Impaired absorption of multiple nutrients results and diarrhea and weight loss develop. Evidence has accumulated that a strict gluten-free diet can result in resolution of diarrhea, weight gain and normalization of nutrient malabsorption. In addition, histopathological changes also normalize, but this histopathological response appears to be time-dependent, sex-dependent and age-dependent. Compliance to a gluten-free diet is difficult and costly resulting in poor compliance and only a limited clinical response. This poses a risk for later long-term complications, including malignancy. A major practical clinical problem is the assessment of compliance to the gluten-free diet. Although symptoms may resolve and serological antibody markers may improve, multiple studies have documented ongoing architectural disturbance and inflammatory change, and with these continued inflammatory changes, a persistent risk for long-term complications. Recent immunological studies have suggested that peptides can be detected in both urine and fecal specimens that may be indicative of limited compliance. At the same time, multiple biopsy studies have demonstrated that complete normalization of the mucosa may occur in some patients within 6 mo of initiation of a gluten-free diet, but more often, up to 2 years or more may be required before repeated biopsies eventually show mucosal recovery and mucosal healing.

Parents' understanding of coeliac disease and diet.

Parents of 50 children with coeliac disease were questioned about their knowledge of the disorder and the child's dietary compliance. Twenty of 50 parents admitted that compliance was less than strict. This correlated with poor knowledge of the disease which in turn was related to the family's social status. Membership of the Coeliac Society (23 of 50) correlated with both parental understandin...

IgA anti-gliadin antibodies in adult celiac disease.

We have improved the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for IgA-class antibodies to gliadin in serum by evaluating earlier publications. We also assess the value of measuring these antibodies when screening for adult celiac disease and monitoring dietary compliance. Of 61 adults with untreated celiac disease, 57 had abnormal results, giving a sensitivity for the test of 0.93. Patients (n = 283) ...
