Every day, researchers are working to get a better understanding of celiac disease and its various presentations. Ongoing research is also exploring potential drug treatments for celiac disease. To view all information related to drug development and research, please visit our main celiac disease research page. Learn about the Beyond Celiac Science Department here.
Nearly one in three people who have positive blood tests for celiac disease don’t go on to get the endoscopy and biopsy that confirms a celiac disease diagnosis, according to new research by Beyond Celiac.
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.
Physicians' common view that celiac disease is rare in Black Americans can lead to disparity in testing for the condition, according to the study, published recently as a research letter in the journal, Gastro Hep Advances.
Recently, a group of researchers published their recommendations for standardizing celiac disease clinical trials. While on the whole we agree with the content, we were dismayed to learn that no patients or patient organizations had been consulted to develop these guidelines. We are proud to say that our response, a letter to the editor, was recently published in Gastroenterology.
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 higher income, living in an urban area and living close to a celiac disease center are all positively correlated with celiac disease prevalence, while being Black or Latino/Hispanic is negatively correlated, according to our research poster presented at Digestive Disease Week 2023.
This new phase 1 trial does not include a gluten challenge
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.
A group of international researchers has come up with a five-point scoring system for those with celiac disease to determine the risk of having persistent intestinal damage.
Results of research funded by Beyond Celiac point to a more precise way that gluten sets off damage to the intestine in those who have celiac disease and could help in the development of innovative approaches to finding a treatment.
Even celiac disease patients who were following a gluten-free diet and felt well were still unintentionally consuming some amount of gluten that was detected in stool tests, according to preliminary results of a study recently presented as a poster at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).
Two separate studies related to race and potential healthcare disparities in celiac disease were presented recently as posters at Digestive Disease Week (DDW). One investigated celiac disease associated genes and the other the frequency of celiac disease testing in Black people.
Women with celiac disease are at increased risk for pregnancy and delivery complications compared to women without celiac disease, according to study that looked at the hospital records about 12 million pregnant women.
While oats are safe for most people with celiac disease, some patients react to the protein in oats with acute symptoms and a wheat-like inflammatory response, a study presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) found.
Three companies developing celiac disease drugs gave updates on their treatments recently at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).
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).
Frustration and distress about symptoms lead most people with celiac disease to seek a diagnosis, according to a poster presented by Beyond Celiac at Digestive Disease Week.
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.
Beyond Celiac to present two original research projects at Digestive Disease Week this May
Children and adults with celiac disease have an increased risk of autoimmune arthritis and early diagnosis is important for effective treatment
The study is looking adults with celiac disease who are having problems controlling their celiac disease symptoms
Despite being less likely to be overweight, have high blood pressure or high cholesterol and other known risk factors, people who have celiac disease may be more likely to develop heart disease than people who don’t, according to a new UK study.
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.
As we approach the end of 2022, we are reflecting on the significant strides made this year toward finding treatments and a cure for celiac disease
Genetic tests can reveal more than a simple “yes” or “no” regarding whether an at-risk child has the genes associated with celiac disease.
