Answer 28

Harms sm. intestine: Celiac disease leads to inflammation and damage of the lining of the small intestine, which causes decreased absorption of nutrients, vitamins, iron, etc... The intestinal lining loses its microscopic "villi", which are tiny protrusions that maximize the absorptive surface area needed to absorb nutrients. A patient gets diarrhea, anemia, lactose intolerance, tummy aches, irritable bowels, etc...

Answer 29

Celiac: You mean malabsorption. Basically the IgA antibodies in your system attack the cells that produce the enzymes necessary to break down gluten products. You are unable to absorb effectively and have the GI symptoms.

Answer 30

Many: Celiac disease is characterized by the inability to digest foods with gluten, resulting in abdominal pain, gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Complications include anemia, osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, infertility, liver disease, intestinal cancers, or hypoglycemia. Early diagnosis and proper treatment with diet control can help you avoid these complications.

Answer 31

Answer 32

Compliance is key: The first step is to make sure you are truly following a gluten-free diet. Gluten can hide in substances like beer and some pills. Consult with a dietician to make sure. If this is still a problem, consult with a gastroenterologist to perform other tests to make sure there's no other inflammatory process going on or other causes. There's a medicine called "budesonide" they may try.

Answer 33

Celiac Disease: The best qualified is a gastroenterologist. If you have seen one, or two, and are not satisfied, the next step is to locate a nationally known institution to find someone who specializes in celiac disease for alternative treatment options.

Answer 34

Degrees of abnormal: Latent: abnormal blood test/antibody tests, but normal biopsy and no symptoms or signs.Children diagnosed with celiac sprue as children; tolerated introduction of gluten. Can develop signs and symptoms later in life. Silent:: abnormal antibody tests, abnormal intestinal biopsy nut no signs or symptoms even on gluten diet. Can develop signs/symptoms later in life.

Answer 35

Celiac: Basically means you test positive for the antibodies known to cause the disease but you do not manifest any of the classic symptoms of celiac disease.

Answer 36

If family has celiac: Persons who have relatives with celiac disease are more likely to get celiac disease (it's hereditary). The disease occurs more often in certain ethnic/racial groups because more people in those groups carry the hla-dq2 and hla-dq8 genes that "cause" celiac disease. The genes are more common in persons from northern/western europe, but are uncommon in western pacific rim populations (china/japan).
