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 ...

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...

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...
