Celiac disease also known as Celiac Sprue dermatitis, and celiac sprue is an autoimmune disease<\/a> of the digestive system that prevents the absorption of nutrients from food. The disease is related to an allergic reaction to gluten, a protein in many grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and some oats. In the United States, celiac disease affects about 1 in every 5,000 people. The condition is very rare in Africa and Asia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"CeliacIn celiac disease, the lining of the small intestine is damaged so that food cannot be absorbed properly. This occurs as the result of an abnormal immune response in which antibodies against gluten are produced. The resulting malabsorption leads to a deficiency of many nutrients, including vitamins and minerals that are vital for good health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCeliac disease has a strong hereditary component. When one identical twin has the condition, there is a 70 percent chance that the other twin will develop it. When foods containing gluten are avoided, the normal intestine \n\nfunction is restored.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Celiac disease may begin at any age. In infants, no symptoms appear until foods containing gluten are first consumed. Celiac disease often doesn\u2019t cause diarrhea or fatty stools, and a child may have only mild symptoms, which may be interpreted simply as an upset stomach. Anemia can develop from iron deficiency and if the level of protein in the blood falls low enough, the child will retain fluid and tissues may swell.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Symptoms don\u2019t appear until adulthood in many sufferers. These symptoms include weight loss, bone pain, and \u201cpins and needles\u201d sensations in the arms and legs. Some people who develop the disease in childhood may have bowed long bones. Depending on the severity of the disorder, the person may have low blood levels of protein, calcium, potassium, or sodium.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Conventional treatment for celiac disease may help relieve the symptoms of celiac disease but they do not address the root of the problem. Generally, by undergoing comprehensive natural medicine testing, the root cause for the body’s production of antibodies against itself can be found. Some of these reasons include sensitivities or allergies to foods<\/a>, environmental toxicity<\/a>, and various infections<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFarrell, R.J. and Kelly, C.P., 2001. Diagnosis of celiac sprue. The American journal of gastroenterology, Celiac sprue is a common lifelong disorder affecting 0.3\u20131% of the Western world and causing considerable ill health and increased mortality, particularly from lymphoma and other malignancies. Although high prevalence rates have been reported in Western Europe, celiac sprue remains a rare diagnosis in North America. Whether celiac sprue is truly rare among North Americans or is simply underdiagnosed is unclear, although serological screening of healthy American blood donors suggests that a large number of American celiacs go undiagnosed. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Celiac sprue is an elusive diagnosis, and often its only clue is the presence of iron or\u00a0folate deficiency\u00a0anemia or extraintestinal manifestations, such as\u00a0osteoporosis<\/a>,\u00a0infertility, and\u00a0neurological disturbances. The challenge for gastroenterologists and other physicians is to identify the large population of undiagnosed patients that probably exists in the community and offer them treatment with a\u00a0gluten-free diet\u00a0that will restore the great majority to full health and prevent the development of complications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe advent of highly sensitive and specific antiendomysium and tissue\u00a0transglutaminase\u00a0serological tests has modified our current approach to diagnosis and made\u00a0fecal fat\u00a0and\u00a0d-xylose absorption testing obsolete. A single\u00a0small bowel biopsy\u00a0that demonstrates histological findings compatible with celiac sprue followed by a favorable clinical and serological response to gluten-free diet is now considered sufficient to definitely confirm the diagnosis. We review the wide spectrum of celiac sprue, its variable clinical manifestations, and the current approach to diagnosis.\u00a096<\/i>(12), pp.3237-3246.\u00a0https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/11774931\/<\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
