Screening for celiac disease in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus: worth it or not?
Abstract
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that immune factors might have a role in the pathophysiology of
insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Inappropriate glycemic control in patients with T2DM is an
important risk factor for the occurrence of diabetes complications. The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is high in
type 1 diabetes mellitus however, there are scarce data about its prevalence in T2DM. Our aim was to investigate
the prevalence of celiac disease ...

Reovirus infection triggers inflammatory responses to dietary antigens and development of celiac disease
Abstract
Viral infections have been proposed to elicit pathological processes leading to the initiation of T helper 1 (TH1) immunity against dietary gluten and celiac disease (CeD). To test this hypothesis and gain insights into mechanisms underlying virus-induced loss of tolerance to dietary antigens, we developed a viral infection model that makes use of two reovirus strains that infect the intestine but differ in their immunopathological outcomes. Reovirus is an avirulent ...

Refractory celiac disease and EATL patients show severe malnutrition and malabsorption at diagnosis
Summary Background & aims: Refractory celiac disease type II (RCDII) and EATL (Enteropathy Associated T-cell Lymphoma) are (pre)malignant complications of celiac disease (CD). Data on malnutrition and intestinal absorption is lacking in these patients. Therefore, the aim of the study is to comprehensively assess nutritional status and intestinal absorption capacity of patients with RCDII and EATL, compared with data of newly diagnosed CD patients.
Methods: Observational study in ...

Pediatric Celiac Disease: Follow-Up in the Spotlight 1,2
ABSTRACT
The follow-up of celiac disease (CD) is challenging due to the scarcity of published data and the lack of standardized evidence-based protocols. The worldwide frequency and methods of CD follow-up appear to be heavily influenced by expert opinions of the individual physicians who assess children with CD. The aim of this review was to summarize the available studies on CD follow-up in children. We conducted a literature search with the use of PubMed, Medline, and Embase (from 1900 to 15 December 2016) for terms relevant ...

Nutritional profile of adult patients with celiac disease
Abstract. – Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated gluten dependent enteropathy induced by ingestion of gluten, characterized by intestinal malabsorption and subtotals or total atrophy of intestinal villi. The predominant consequence of CD in untreated patients, is malnutrition as a result of malabsorption. Moreover,
several and increasing extra-intestinal clinical manifestations have been described in the CD patients. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) improves nutritional status, inducing an inc...

Maternal and neonatal vitamin D status, genotype and childhood celiac disease
Background
Low concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D during pregnancy may be associated with offspring autoimmune disorders. Little is known about environmental triggers except gluten for celiac disease, a common immune-mediated disorder where seasonality of birth has been reported as a risk factor. We therefore aimed to test whether low maternal and neonatal 25- hydroxyvitamin D predicted higher risk of childhood celiac disease.
Methods and Findings
In this Norwegian nationwide pregnancy cohort (n = ...

Intestinal Microbiota and Probiotics in Celiac Disease
SUMMARY
Celiac disease (CD) is a common chronic autoimmune enteropathy caused by gluten intake. To date, the only therapy for CD is the complete exclusion of dietary sources of grains and any food containing gluten. It has been hypothesized that the intestinal microbiota is somehow involved in CD. For this reason, probiotics are appearing as an interesting adjuvant in the dietetic management of CD. This review aims to discuss the characteristics of the microbiota in CD subjects and the use of probiotics as a novel therapy for ...

Indications and Use of the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet for Patients with Non-Responsive Celiac Disease
Abstract: For the majority of patients diagnosed with celiac disease, once a gluten-free diet is initiated, symptoms improve within weeks and may completely resolve in months. However, up to 30% of patients may show signs, symptoms or persistent small intestinal damage after one year on a gluten-free diet. These patients require evaluation for other common GI etiologies and assessment of their celiac disease status in order to make a diagnosis and suggest treatment. Here, ...
