Children who most likely would not have been diagnosed with celiac disease had they not been randomly screened for the condition showed important health-related improvements after diagnosis and one year on the gluten-free diet.
If a child at risk for celiac disease is prescribed antibiotics multiple times, it may increase the chance that celiac disease will develop, according to a new study. Antibiotics were tied to an increase in a protein that loosens the connection between cells in the intestine. In the future, tests for that protein might be used to determine who is likely to develop celiac disease.
A recent study found that children who had detectable gluten in urine and stool samples did not have symptoms, backing up earlier evidence that symptoms are not reliable indicators of gluten getting into the gluten-free diet.
Children who were diagnosed with celiac disease as part of a mass screening program had improved symptoms, quality of life and iron levels one year later, according to research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).
The incidence rate of celiac disease has increased over the past two decades, largely driven by diagnosis of children from six to ten years old, according to a study based on Minnesota electronic health records and presented at Digestive Disease Week.
Children and adults with celiac disease have an increased risk of autoimmune arthritis and early diagnosis is important for effective treatment
In children on the gluten-free diet who had no symptoms but whose celiac disease blood tests and biopsies showed active celiac disease a cow's milk protein allergy might be to blame, researchers at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease report in the findings from four case studies.
Genetic tests can reveal more than a simple “yes” or “no” regarding whether an at-risk child has the genes associated with celiac disease.
The vaccine for rotavirus does not increase or decrease the risk that a child will develop celiac disease, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Michigan.
Young adults who had been diagnosed with celiac disease as part of a broad screening program when they were kids have often abandoned the gluten-free diet, according to an 20-year follow-up Italian study.
