Study showed patients with celiac disease had almost one-and-a-half to two times the risk of coronary artery disease

People often look to natural therapies for migraine, they try giving up red wine and chocolate. Why not try giving up gluten?

Blood tests for the diagnosis of celiac disease in people with IgA deficiency are not as accurate as those for people who have normal IgA

It was believed for a long time that children with celiac disease are always extremely and obviously sick – but sometimes this is not the case

Fructons (FODMAPs) are found in wheat, as well as many other foods like fruits, vegetables and milk. Removing all sources of fructons from your diet may help those with NCGS

It improved her fatigue and joint pain as well as her stomatitis, suggesting that these symptoms were all related

Like Celiac Disesase, NCGS is a disorder in which gluten cause a variety of intestinal and other physical symptoms, however it does not cause intestinal damage

There have been small studies suggesting the possibility of a link between eating disorders and untreated celiac disease

Regenerative Medicine Solutions is claiming to treat both inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease

An association between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease has been known for quite some time

Between 1984 and 1996, four times the average number of children under the age of two years in Sweden were diagnosed with CD – here’s why…

A tiny camera is swallowed, and records thousands of pictures as it passes through the intestinal tract

This is a question about screening people with no specific reason for screening

The history or origin of certain diseases is sometimes how they get their names

While there is no one definitive answer, there are a number of possibilities

Multiple tiny pieces need to be removed and analyzed from this area

Better tests provide quicker diagnosis, and look for specific antibodies

Reports are now coming in from all over the globe indicating that celiac disease is not confined to people of European ancestry, as once previously thought

The new tests look for two kinds of antibodies – IgA and IgG

Ataxia, dementia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures are some of the most common neurologic problems associated with celiac disease

In a unique case, doctors recognized the epidemic as it was occurring and were able to start a surveillance system to register patients diagnosed with celiac disease so that the epidemic could be followed and studied

Are you troubled by recurrent, painful mouth sores?

People with intestinal parasites make more of an immune response to the parasite and less to potential causes of allergy

It took a long time for doctors to figure out the connection between what we now call celiac disease and wheat

One indicator is the amount of antibodies in the blood to human tissue transglutaminase (tTG) – which is a key enzyme in the sequence of events leading to small intestinal damage as a result of gluten intolerance

Here are some of the classic symptoms associated with celiac disease, as well as some atypical symptoms that you might not have been aware of

It might even seem logical to think that some people with celiac disease would be at lower risk of heart disease, especially those who have lost weight, but that’s not always the case

Between a colonoscopy and a biopsy, swallowing this little capsule is less invasive and a lot more comfortable

If you have had significant symptoms and weight loss from untreated celiac disease, your vitamin deficiencies may be obvious

It is possible to confuse the symptoms of these diseases, as there is an overlap in symptoms

A number of studies have shown that people with IBS may have an improvement in symptoms when they go on a gluten-free diet

IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE, tTG and EMA – learn what these are, and what they mean on your blood test results

Dermatitis herpetiformis is a very serious skin disorder that is related to celiac disease

Some researchers have noted that as many as 36% of adults with celiac disease may have one or more types of neurological problems

There is more than one way to perform each test, and more than one company making the kits used to do the tests

Patients do not always need to be eating gluten to take this test, because the test stays positive for three to 12 months after initiation of a gluten-free diet

Do you have a biopsy scheduled? Knowing what to expect might make things a bit easier

There are a number of reasons why celiac disease is being diagnosed more frequently…

Autoimmune disease’s (like celiac disease) are when the body attacks itself
