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

Do you have non-itchy, round, raised and reddish circular areas on your body?

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

A 2001 study in the journal Neurology found that eliminating gluten from the diet halted migraines for 9 out of 10 patients

A new supplement has come onto the market that claims to help break down gluten

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

Learn the difference between the two, and discover some theories as to why they are on the rise in our population

Recent research has shown that gluten is not just a problem for our digestive systems, all of our body systems can be affected

Sjogren’s Syndrome, psoriasis, and osteoporosis are just a few of the disorders that can affect celiacs

Approximately 85% of children diagnosed as autistic also have a range of gastrointestinal disorders and symptoms including diarrhea, constipation, bloating and abdominal pain

Did you know that these bacteria also help stimulate antibody production and synthesize essential nutrients

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

Deficiencies in vitamin D are associated with colon and other cancers, autoimmune disease, depression, heart disease, as well as being linked to food sensitivities

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
