Background & aims: Many patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) perceive that their symptoms are triggered by wheat-containing foods. We assessed symptoms and gastrointestinal transit before and after a gluten-free diet (GFD) in
This study evaluated the various growth parameters among patients presenting with chronic diarrhea and highlight the most common causes of chronic diarrhea among a sample of Egyptian infants and children. This cross-sectional study included 146 patients with chronic diarrhea. They were 87 males and
Wheat gliadin is known mainly as the causative substance for enteropathy accompanied by diarrhea (celiac disease) and food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. However, little is known in regards to the allergenicity of gliadin in atopic dermatitis. In this study, the allergenicity of gliadin was
A 51-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of chronic diarrhea. She had spent a 14 day vacation in Sri Lanka three years ago. The clinical examination of the patient was unremarkable. Values for protein, iron, zinc, copper and folic acid were decreased and the Shilling- and D-xylose tests
IgA-class anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) and IgA-, IgG-, IgM-class anti-reticulin antibodies (ARA) were determined in 1461 persons, representing 84% of a population from the village of Karksi-Nuia. AGA were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and ARA by indirect immunofluorescence.
OBJECTIVE
To study prevalence of celiac disease (CD) among patients with chronic diarrhea (ChD).
METHODS
Serum levels of IgA-antibodies to gliadin, endomysium, reticulin and tissue transglutaminase were examined in 206 patients with CD. Biopsies were obtained from a distal portion of the duodenum or
The objective of this research was to study the frequency of celiac disease in patients with chronic diarrhea. The biopsy materials of the small intestine and levels of antibodies to alpha-gliadin of class A immunoglobulins (IgA) and tissue transglutaminase were studied in 206 patients with chronic
Villous atrophy of the terminal ileum is usually secondary to celiac disease or other diseases. Very few cases of primary ileal villous atrophy have been reported in the literature. We report here the case of a 37-year-old man with chronic diarrhea since childhood without features of malabsorption.
BACKGROUND
Based on clinical, histopathological and serological similarities to human celiac disease (CD), we recently established the rhesus macaque model of gluten sensitivity. In this study, we further characterized this condition based on presence of anti-tissue transglutaminase 2 (TG2)
BACKGROUND
Down syndrome is associated with disorders such as celiac disease, hypothyroidism, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In patients with mono- or oligosymptomatic celiac disease the time interval between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis often is unacceptably long.
METHODS
A female
OBJECTIVE
The use of immunoglobulin G and A anti-gliadin antibodies for celiac disease screening has decreased due to higher specificity and sensitivity of tissue transglutaminase and endomysial antibodies. Greater values of immunoglobulin-A anti-gliadin antibody have been associated with more
BACKGROUND Celiac disease is a hypersensitivity enteropathy that can have various presentations in adults. Rarely, patients can present with severe lab abnormalities, dehydration and weight loss caused by celiac disease - a celiac crisis. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old male with a past medical history
The aqueous alcohol-soluble fraction of wheat gluten is gliadin. This component has been implicated as the causative principle in celiac disease, which is a physiological condition experienced by some infants and adults. The outcome of the ingestion of whole wheat products by susceptible individuals
OBJECTIVE
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity has been increasingly recognized as a predisposing factor for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms in Western populations where celiac disease (CD) is relatively common. In Asia where CD is rare, we wish to de-termine the prevalence of gluten protein
Chronic diarrhea, defined by frequent bowel movements with decreased stool consistency lasting for longer than 3 weeks represents a major problem in gastroenterology. In addition to the very frequent functional disturbances of irritable bowel syndrome a wide variety of infectious, drug-induced,
