Physiopathology and Management of Gluten-Induced Celiac Disease

Celiac Disease, Gluten-Free Diet, and Bone Mass Density

Background: Celiac disease (CD), as an autoimmune disease has initiated since ingestion of food containing gluten. Constant intolerance to gluten causes damages of the small intestinal mucosa. One reason of mal-absorption in children and infants is CD. Additionally, about 75% of newly identified patients with CD have low bone mineral density (BMD). Many factors have role in metabolic bone disea...

Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Gluten-related disorders include celiac disease (CD), wheat allergy, and nonceliac gluten sensitivity. CD is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by damage to small intestinal mucosa when gluten is ingested in genetically susceptible individuals. Currently, the only available treatment of CD is gluten-free diet. Several potential treatments are being researched. Wheat allergy is a hypersensitivity ...

Epidemiology of Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten-Related Disorders

Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity; Evidences and Differences

There are too many papers published regarding the definition, diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease (CD). All we know that CD is a major health care issue affecting people in any ages, and increased wheat consumption may have had an effect on CD prevalence, which was reported worldwide prevalence of approximately 1% [1]. Most of the celiac patients report long gastrointestinal symptoms such...

Subclinical celiac disease and gluten sensitivity

Atypical presentation is the most common form of celiac disease (CD). Although the terminologies like latent, silent and potential have expressed different aspects of clinical and pathological behaviour of CD, they also have contributed in some extent to confusion between clinicians and patients due to the multiple definitions and uncertainty around them. In the light of new advances and the di...
