secale cereale/vomiting

The aims of this study were to analyze the peculiarities of allergies to food; to determine gastrointestinal disorders, endoscopic signs of mucosal damage and histological lesions of the mucosa and to establish their relation to the extent of atopic dermatitis and its degree of severity. METHODS A

BACKGROUND Cereals are among the major foods that account for food hypersensitivity reactions. Salt-soluble proteins appear to be the most important allergens contributing to the asthmatic response. In contrast, very limited information is available regarding cereal allergens responsible for

BACKGROUND The compliance to a gluten-free diet may prevent the development of both non-malignant and malignant complications. OBJECTIVE To evaluate compliance to a gluten-free diet and knowledge of the disease in celiac patients registered at the Brazilian Celiac Association (BCA). METHODS A

BACKGROUND Celiac disease and immediate type hypersensitivity to wheat are immune responses with different pathogenic mechanisms. Both diseases are well known entities but their coexistence in the same patient is rarely reported. This is a unique case presentation of a patient with celiac disease

Coeliac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy which results in a permanent malabsorption of nutrients in that portion of the small intestine (the jejunum) that is damaged. A genetic, inheritable disease, it is directly related to ingestion of certain wheat proteins especially found in rye

Celiac disease (CD) is an immunogenic disorder that affects the small intestine. It is caused by the ingestion of gluten, a protein network formed by prolamins and glutelins from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and, possibly, oats. For predisposed people, gluten presents epitopes able to
