However, people without symptoms are still at risk forthe complications of celiac disease. How Is celiac disease Diagnosed?  
   http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/celiac/
   
   Extractions: Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. Specifically, tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, on the lining of the small intestine are lost. Nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream through these villi. Without villi, a person becomes malnourishedregardless of the quantity of food eaten. Because the body's own immune system causes the damage, celiac disease is considered an autoimmune disorder. However, it is also classified as a disease of malabsorption because nutrients are not absorbed. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease is a genetic disease, meaning that it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggeredor becomes active for the first timeafter surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

   Extractions: The Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet Online Resource Center is an Internet-based support organization that provides important resources and information for people on gluten-free diets due to celiac disease, gluten intolerance or wheat allergy. Celiac.com offers key gluten and wheat-free resources that are helpful to anyone with special dietary needs. Our purpose is to raise the awareness of the disease, and to provide people who have it with enough information to get diagnosed and treated so that they can begin to lead more comfortable and healthy lives. Celiac disease , also known as gluten intolerance, is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133 Americans. Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms. The disease mostly affects people of European descent, and may occur more rarely in black and Asian populations . Those affected suffer damage to the villi (shortening and villous flattening) in the lamina propria and crypt regions of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences) that are found in wheat, rye, and barley

   Extractions: There are two important factors that contribute to the development of celiac disease: The ingestion of wheat The "Coeliac Affection" was first reported by Gee in 1888, however it was not until 1950 that wheat was proposed to be the cause of celiac disease. The evidence was based on the observation of a Dutch physician named Dicke who noted during World War II, a time when wheat grains were scarce in Holland, that children with celiac disease who had otherwise failed to thrive improved on a wheat-poor diet. Since then the large water-insoluble protein, gluten, present in wheat has been identified as the offending substance. Extraction of gluten with alcohol has further narrowed activity to smaller proline-rich proteins called gliadins which are capable of precipitating disease in previously asymptomatic celiacs. Analogous proteins exist in other grains such as rye, barley and oats and therefore these grains are also capable of exacerbating celiac disease. The specific peptide sequence of the gliadins responsible for triggering intestinal inflammation has not yet been identified. The genetic background of the individual Celiac disease runs in families. First degree relatives of individuals with celiac disease may or may not manifest symptoms of the disease. Predisposition to gluten sensitivity has been mapped to the major histocompatibility (MHC) D region on chromosome 6. The most important HLA haplotype is DQw2 which is often in linkage with DR3. Other important HLA haplotypes identified are DR7 and DPB 1, 3, 4.1 and 4.2. The sites on these MHC class 2 expressed proteins responsible for interacting with gliadin and host T cell receptors thereby sensitizing the intestine to gluten have not been identified.

   Extractions: Celiac Disease Celiac disease is a disorder that causes problems in your intestines when you eat gluten, which is in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Gluten is like a poison to people with celiac disease, because it damages their intestines. Gluten damages the intestines. This damage keeps your body from taking in many of the nutrients in the food you eat. This includes vitamins, calcium, protein, carbohydrates, fats and other important nutrients. Your body can't work well without these nutrients. Celiac disease runs in the family. You inherited the tendency to get this disease from your parents. If 1 member of your family has celiac disease, about 1 out of 10 other members of your family is likely to have it. You may have this tendency for a while without getting sick. Then something like severe stress, physical injury, infection, childbirth or surgery can "turn on" your celiac disease. What happens to people with celiac disease?

C eliac disease is a gluten enteropathy occurring in both children and adults. The condition is characterized by a sensitivity to gluten that results in inflammation and atrophy of the mucosa of the small intestine. Clinical manifestations include malabsorption with symptoms of diarrhea, steatorrhea, and nutritional and vitamin deficiencies. Secondary immunologic illnesses, such as atopic dermatitis, dermatitis herpetiformis, alopecia and aphthous ulcers, may be the primary presentation. Prevalence The magnitude of the prevalence of celiac disease has only recently been recognized. A large multicenter study, promoted by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN) and involving 36 centers from 22 countries, has provided important information on the incidence of celiac disease. The average incidence was found to be one case in every 1,000 live births, with a range from one in 250 to one in 4,000. When the age of diagnosis was included in the incidence density of celiac disease, the predicted rate was one case in every 300 newborns. Among blood donors, the prevalence of asymptomatic celiac disease was found to be as high as one in 266.

A lthough celiac disease was formally described late in the 19th century, treatment remained empiric until the middle of the 20th century when patients were noted to improve dramatically after wheat was removed from their diet. With the development of small-bowel biopsy techniques, the small intestine was identified as the target organ. Disease causality was established when the characteristic features of villous flat tening, crypt hyperplasia, and increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (Figure 1) were shown to normalize after the institution of a gluten-free diet.

    Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Gastroenterology CELIAC DISEASE IN CHILDREN Celiac disease is an intolerance to certain cereal grains causing small bowel villous atrophy and thus malabsorption. Specifically, the gliadin component of wheat, and the prolamin component of rye and barley are implicated in causing disease. The disease is found at different frequencies in different countries, and at different times within a given country. For example in Ireland in the 1960's and early 1970's, incidence was found to be 1:300; later studies in the same population showed an incidence of 1:1370. Incidence in Sweden has ranged from 1:6500 to 1:1300. There is a definite association with certain HLA types, especially HLA B8, DR3, DR7, and DQ2. Familial risk is approximately 2-3% in first degree relatives; 70% concordance is reported in monozygotic twins. Patients with Down's syndrome, known to be at higher risk for many autoimmune diseases, have also been reported to have a higher incidence of celiac disease (5% according to Castro et al, 1993) Symptoms suggesting celiac disease are: Apathy, irritability, pain, vomiting, chronic diarrhea, steatorrhea, abdominal distension, and failure to thrive.

(ii) It can be called celiac sprue, gluten sensitive enteropathy, coeliac disease, or celiac disease. Previously it was considered a children disease, while the similar disorder in adults was called non tropical sprue. For celiac disease to be active, the celiac must have the genetic potential to develop the disorder, there must be a source of gliadin in the diet, and there must have been a trigger factor. Exploring the genetic background, celiac disease may not be found, but disorders that are related to celiac disease through the immune system may be found. The associated diseases include a skin disorder, Dermatitis Herpetiformis; Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (type I); Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; Sjogren's Syndrome; Scleroderma, Grave's Disease; Addison Disease; Myasthenia Gravis; Autoimmune Chronic Active Hepatitis; and Erythematosus.
