background celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder which causes malabsorption in genetically susceptible patients who consume gluten. celiac disease is not limited to the gastrointestinal system, and exhibits different signs and symptoms in other organs. malabsorption of calcium and vitamin d can cause osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. celiac disease is no longer a rare disease a...

BACKGROUND Celiac disease is one of the most common dietary-mediated inflammatory enteropathies that occur in genetically predisposed individuals in response to gluten intolerance. This disorder has become more common than in the past, even if it frequently remains undetected for long periods of time. The screening of patients with dyspepsia, a symptom that can be a manifestation of celiac dise...

BACKGROUND Celiac disease is more common in patients with hypothyroidism. Malabsorption of levothyroxine has not been studied in this population. We sought to determine if levothyroxine dosing was influenced by the presence and treatment of celiac disease. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at an academic medical center. Cases had hypothyroidism and celiac disease. Controls had hy...

Celiac crisis presents as severe acute diarrhea with life-threatening metabolic derangement in a patient with celiac disease. We report a 30-year-old lady who was admitted with one-month history of worsening small bowel-type diarrhea. She developed acute quadriparesis due to refractory hypokalemia. Celiac disease was diagnosed on the basis of positive serology and histological features. She imp...

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. It is triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Gluten is a storage protein in wheat, rye, and barley, which are staples in many American diets. Celiac disease is characterized by chronic inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa, which leads to atrophy of the small intestinal villi a...

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated intestinal disorder that may be associated with other immunemediated extra-intestinal disorders, including immune-mediated endocrine diseases, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, most often with hypothyroidism. Other monoglandular autoimmune endocrine disorders may also occur, including autoimmune adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease). In celiac disease, cli...

CONTEXT The association between celiac disease and pancreatitis is sparsely reported. Celiac disease may remain asymptomatic or may have atypical features, and its diagnosis in pancreatitis may not be obvious. It is more than mere chance association that explains the occurrence of pancreatitis in celiac disease. Malnutrition, papillary stenosis and immunopathogenetic mechanisms contribute to th...

Background: The togetherness of invagination with celiac disease is an extremely rare condition especially in children. However, invagination may be the presenting symptom of celiac disease. Moreover, recurrent invaginations have been also reported in patients with celiac disease. Aim: To increase the awareness of clinicians about togetherness of these conditions. Case Presentation: Herein, we ...

Celiac disease (gluten sensitive enteropathy) is a common disorder affecting both children and adults. As many people with celiac disease do not present with the classic malabsorptive syndrome, delays in diagnosis are common. Dental enamel defects and recurrent aphthous ulcers, which may occur in patients with celiac disease, may be the only manifestation of this disorder. When dentists encount...
