Background and Objectives: As an autoimmune disease, celiac is triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to various gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms. The aim of the current study was to accurately investigate epidemiology of the celiac disease in Hamadan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out as a case s...

Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic, chronic autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals following dietary gluten exposure. CD can present with a wide range of gastrointestinal and extraintestinal manifestations and requires lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet [GFD]. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a presentation of celiac disease is unusual and rarely reported. We ...

In celiac disease (CD), the gut is the typical manifestation site but atypical neurological presentations are thought to occur in 6 to 10% with cerebellar ataxia being the most frequent symptom. Most studies in this field are focused on patients under primary neurological care. To exclude such an observation bias, patients with biopsy proven celiac disease were screened for neurological disease...

AIM To evaluate selected intestinal parameters of oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity in adult celiac disease patients with extraintestinal manifestations. METHODS The study involved 85 adult patients divided into the following subgroups: (1) patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease (CD) (n = 7); (2) celiac patients not adhering to a gluten-free diet (GFD) (n = 22); (3) patients wi...

â  â celiac disease (cd) was traditionally believed to be a chronic enteropathy, almost exclusively affecting people of european origin. celiac disease is the permanent intolerance to dietary gluten, the major protein component of wheat. the availability of new, simple, very sensitive and specific serological tests has shown that cd is as common in middle eastern countries as in europe, austral...

OBJECTIVE To describe the longitudinal growth characteristics and glycemic control in type 1 diabetic children diagnosed with celiac disease and started on a gluten-free diet (GFD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data on growth and glycemic control for 11 case subjects diagnosed with celiac disease (cd(+) group) and started on a GFD were collected prospectively, and two control subjects without ...

We are presenting a rare case of overlap Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and Celiac disease (CD). It is necessary to evaluate diagnose timely the possible presence other autoimmune diseases in any disease, because they have about 25% risk developing several them at same time, which called syndrome. very important do screening, follow up regular GI care patients identify CD help avoid severe malnutritio...

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune systemic condition caused by sensitivity to gluten in genetically predisposed patients. The clinical signs of CD are extremely diverse, ranging from the typical intestinal malabsorption syndrome (characterized by chronic diarrhea, abdominal distension and malnutrition) to atypical symptoms that may involve any system or organ: chronic constipation, increased...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Two out of three patients with Coeliac Disease (CD) in Australia are undiagnosed. This prospective clinical audit aimed to determine how many CD patients would be undiagnosed if duodenal biopsy had only been performed if the mucosa looked abnormal or the patient presented with typical CD symptoms. METHODS All eligible patients presenting for upper gastrointestinal endoscop...

Celiac disease (CD) and nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) are two distinct conditions triggered by the ingestion of gliadin. Although symptoms of nonceliac gluten sensitivity may resemble those of celiac disease, due to the lack of objective diagnostic tests, NCGS is associated with overlapping symptomatologies of autoimmunities and Crohn's disease. Furthermore, a gluten-free diet is only rec...
