Digestive system organs Alternative names Return to top Sprue; Nontropical sprue; Gluten intolerance Definition Return to top This is a common disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged in response to ingestion of gluten and similar proteins , which are found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains (including hybrid grains, such as triticale). Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown. There is evidence that the disorder is inherited since it tends to run in families. The disorder may be caused by an abnormal immune response to proteins found in grains, particularly gluten and the related protein gliadin. The intestines contain projections (called villi) that normally absorb nutrients. Celiac disease causes these villi to become flattened and lose the ability to absorb nutrients.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> 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 malnourished regardless 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 triggered or becomes active for the first time after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> As a result of their recent study, published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology in October, a group of Medical College of Wisconsin researchers are recommending that children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) be tested for celiac disease (CD). In their report on young patients with diabetes, P.C. Lee, PhD, Elaine Parton, RN, CPNP, Steven Werlin, MD and David T. Wyatt, MD concluded that the incidence of celiac disease among American children with IDDM is likely higher than previously thought. The researchers tested diabetic patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for signs and symptoms of celiac disease and found that at least 4.6% of the children who participated in the study suffered from CD, while even more had indicators that could be early signs of the disease. (Atiye N. Aktay, MD, currently practicing in Turkey, and Vijay Kumar, PhD, of the State University of New York, were also members of the research team.) Celiac disease is a genetic digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have CD cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats. When they do eat gluten-containing foods, their immune system responds and damages the lining of the small intestine. The damaged areas cant absorb nutrients properly, and CD sufferers become malnourished no matter how much they eat.
Extractions: A gastrointestinal disease resulting from defective fat and calcium absorption, with deficient capacity for metabolising the gluten fraction gliadin. Main symptoms are intestinal infantilism with abdominal distension, fatty diarrhoea, anorexia, extreme wasting, fatigue, and stunting of growth sometimes to the point of dwarfism. Intake of gluten-free food improves the condition markedly. Most commonly seen in children, with onset between 6 and 9 months, but also occurs in adults. Autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance has been suggested.

Extractions: Gluten Induced Enteropathy, Nontropical Sprue or Celiac Disease It is thought that Gluten Induced Enteropathy is caused by an inborn error of metabolism or immunologic sensitivity to gliadin by the small intestines. A patient may show only one or more of the following symptoms: frequent, foul-smelling stools that are pale and foamy; easy fatigue; anemia; pallor; weight loss; vomiting; cramps; irritability; a distended abdomen and/or constipation. The mucosa of the jejunum of the untreated patient with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitive enteropathy has a characteristic appearance which is described as flat. The only definitive diagnostic tool for celiac disease at the present time is a small bowel biopsy, before the patient starts on a gluten free diet. Antigliadin and AntiEndomysial Antibody blood screening tests are being done in some centers in Canada. These blood screening tests are still in the testing stages, and so while helpful in screening family members of celiacs, they currently cannot be used for a final diagnosis. Once the offending protein gluten (gliadin fraction) has been removed from the diet, the individual will begin to feel better very quickly, often within days. In time the jejunal mucosa will return to normal or near normal.
