	Coeliac disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coeliac disease (also called celiac disease, non-tropical sprue, c(o)eliac sprue and gluten intolerance) is an autoimmune disorder.
		Coeliac disease may lead to digestive problems, such as indigestion, heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome, unexplained weight loss or other signs of nutritional deficiency due to malabsorption, and a wide range of other problems in different bodily systems, including the nervous system, the heart, and the teeth and bones.
		In adults, the symptoms of coeliac disease may be mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or an inflammatory bowel syndrome such as Crohn's disease.

	Celiac Disease
		Systematic follow-up of patients with celiac disease and the malabsorption syndrome and secondary complications is needed.
		Celiac disease was diagnosed in 6 (0.92%) of 653 patients with lymphoma.
		Celiac disease is associated with an increased risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially of T-cell type and primarily localized in the gut.

	Celiac disease
		Celiac disease is a digestive condition triggered by consumption of the protein gluten, which is found in bread, pasta, cookies, pizza crust and other foods containing wheat, barley or rye.
		Celiac disease may also present itself in less obvious ways, including irritability or depression, stomach upset, joint pain, muscle cramps, skin rash, mouth sores, dental and bone disorders, and tingling in the legs and feet (neuropathy).
		In people with celiac disease, their immune systems may be recognizing gluten as a foreign substance and producing elevated levels of antibodies to get rid of it.

	Facts about Celiac disease
		Celiac disease is a genetic disorder affecting children and adults.
		Celiac sufferers produce antibodies to attack the gluten, but the same antibodies also attack the intestine, causing damage and illness.
		Celiacs are more likely to be afflicted with problems relating to malabsorption, including osteoporosis, tooth enamel defects, central and peripheral nervous system disease, pancreatic disease, internal hemorrhaging, organ disorders (gall bladder, liver, and spleen), and gynecological disorders.

	CELIAC (Celiac/Coeliac Wheat/Gluten-Free List)
		Celiac disease (CD) is used to reference the general requirement to avoid gluten in the diet.
		Diseases that can be associated with celiac disease include lactose intolerance, dermatitis herpetiformis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, and autoimmune disorders.
		Sometimes, a viral illness appears to be that "trigger." Celiac disease causes the intestine's villi to become flattened and lose the ability to absorb nutrients.

		Celiac Disease (CD) is a life-long autoimmune disorder of the intestinal tract, which may have its onset in childhood or adulthood.
		(Celiac disease occurs with greater incidence in persons with other autoimmune disorders.) The disorder is characterized by sensitivity to the predominant wheat protein, gluten (or more specifically, the gliadin portion of the molecule).
		The ability to develop an autoimmune disease is determined by a dominant genetic trait that is very common and may present in families as different autoimmune diseases within the same family.

	Gluten & Disease
		In celiac disease the gastrointestinal tract is the primary target organ; however systemic disease is an important consequence of cereal grain ingestion in many patients.
		Proteins in the cereal grains, wheat, rye and barley are responsible for the disease.
		Splenic atrophy occurs frequently in patients with celiac disease and is related to the severity of the disease and degree of dietary control.

		The investigators tested 90 children with celiac disease for serum antibodies to islet cells, glutamic acid decarboxylase, insulin, and thyroperoxidase.
		The serum prolactin levels in healthy controls and in coeliac patients on the diet were within normal limits, whereas in children with coeliac disease taking gluten in their meals, a significant hyperprolactinaemia was found.

	Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity
		By Carol E. Semrad, M. Celiac disease, also referred to as celiac sprue, is an inflammatory condition of the small intestine precipitated by the ingestion of wheat in individuals with certain genetic makeups.
		Recently, with the discovery of antibodies which are specific for celiac disease, screening of families of celiacs and select populations have identified a growing number of asymptomatic individuals who have circulating antibodies and changes on intestinal biopsies characteristic of celiac disease.
		Antibody testing is important in screening individuals who are at risk for having celiac disease but have no symptomatology, in individuals with atypical symptoms or extraintestinal manifestations of celiac disease, and in individuals with presumed celiac disease who fail to respond to a gluten-free diet.

		Celiac disease may cause short stature, infertility, or recurrent aphthous stomatitis or be associated with dermatitis herpetiformis, sometimes without diarrhea.
		Celiac disease is strongly suspected in a pale, querulous child, with wasting of the buttocks and a potbelly, who has an adequate diet (thus ruling out protein-calorie malnutrition or kwashiorkor).
		Also, an adult patient may not recollect childhood disease, although GI disease may have led to smaller stature compared with siblings and mild bowing deformities of the long bones.
