	Celiac Sprue: Malabsorption Syndromes: Merck Manual Professional
		Diagnosis is by small-bowel biopsies demonstrating characteristic though not specific pathologic changes of villous atrophy that improve with a strict gluten-free diet.
		Mild and intermittent diarrhea is sometimes the presenting symptom.
		Improvement of symptoms and small-bowel morphology is accompanied by a decrease in AGA and EMA titers.

		The first description of TS is attributed to William Hillary’s 1759 account of his observations of chronic diarrhea while in Barbados.
		Villous destruction and demonstrable nutrient malabsorption occur in varying degrees.
		Chronic illness with severe malabsorption and anemia can also lead to death, but this usually occurs in patients with comorbid conditions.

	Diarrhea in Neonatal Ruminants - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Diarrhea in calves and lambs also has been associated with enteropathogenic E coli that adhere to the intestine to produce an attaching and effacing lesion, with dissolution of the brush border and loss of microvillous structure at the site of attachment, a decrease in enzyme activity, and changes in ion transport in the intestine.
		This is usually the result of villous atrophy, in which the loss of mature enterocytes at the tips of the villi results both in a decrease in villous height (with a consequent decrease in the surface area for absorption) and in loss of the brush border digestive enzymes.
		Diarrhea due solely to Cryptosporidium spp is often mild and self-limiting, although the severity may be related to the general strength of the calf and to the intensity of challenge with the organism.

		When this immunologic reaction damages the finger-like surface projections, the villi, in the small intestine (a process called villous atrophy), it is called celiac disease (or sometimes celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy).
		However, several studies have now revealed that it is only those with significant villous atrophy of the small intestine who regularly show a positive antiendomysial or antitissue transglutaminase antibody, the specific tests relied upon most heavily for diagnosis of gluten-induced disease.
		Microscopic colitis is a very common chronic diarrheal syndrome, accounting for 10% of all causes of chronic diarrhea in all patients, and is the most common cause of ongoing chronic diarrhea in a treated celiac, affecting 4% of all celiac patients.

	Gastroenterology Chapter 7 Chronic Diarrhea
		The four basic mechanisms that cause chronic diarrhea are osmotic, secretory and exudative factors, and abnormal intestinal transit (Table 11).
		Exudative diarrhea results from mucosal damage to the small or large bowel, which interferes with absorption of salt and water, and may be associated with the exudation of serum proteins, blood, and mucus and sloughed cells.
		The possibility that the diarrhea is self-induced must be considered when a patient complains of chronic diarrhea and when the routine investigations are negative.

		Serum concentration of Vitamin A and E. After 10d of diarrhea, the serum levels of vitamins-A and E did not differ significantly from the levels measured either in the control or the pair-fed groups (Table 3).
		However, the lactose-fed group, which had diarrhea for 23d, had significantly lower levels of circulating vitamin E than the control or pair-fed groups, and serum vitamin A level, which were lower than the control but not different from the pair-fed rats.
		The observed effect of lactose-induced diarrhea on the circulating levels of these vitamins was not related to changes in hemodinamics because the hematocrit did not differ among groups.
