    Case Details Clinical Celiac Disease Following Duodenal Switch Surgery

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 06/15/2016 - Every so often, a medical case comes along that puzzles or interests clinicians. One recent case of celiac disease fits that bill.

    The patient in this case is a 61-year-old obese woman who developed severe diarrhea that started soon after bariatric surgery and did not respond to standard medical treatment. The team treating the woman reports that, to their knowledge, this is the first reported case of clinical onset of celiac disease (celiac disease) following duodenal switch surgery.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The research team included A Pané, A Orois, M Careaga, A Saco, E Ortega, J Vidal, P Leyes, and AJ Amor. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, and the Department of Anatomic Pathology at the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, Spain.

    After the team ruled out the most common post-operative causes of diarrhea, they ran some blood tests, and made a final diagnosis based on positive results for anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody.

    In light of this case report, the team proposes that celiac disease should be ruled out in any patient presenting with typical or atypical symptoms after bariatric surgery, regardless of the latency of onset.

    Celiac.com 06/13/2016 - Researchers Umberto Volta, Giacomo Caio, and Roberto De Giorgio, of the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy, recently submitted a letter to the medical journal Gastroenterology.
    In their letter, the researchers respond to a recent paper, published by Carroccio et al, reporting on the prevalence of autoimmunity (as identified by positivity of antinuclear antibodies [ANA] and associated autoimmune disorders) in non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) compared with celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). They note that the study results, based on retrospective and prospective data, showed that the prevalence of ANA in NCWS was significantly higher than in celiac disease and IBS (46% in NCWS vs 24% in...
