    Dr. Ivor D. Hill on Celiac Disease

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac disease is a permanent (lifelong) condition which affects genetically predisposed individuals who are exposed to gluten and related products from rye, barley and oats. Once the diagnosis has been confirmed there is absolutely no indication for periodically undertaking a gluten challenge. It is well known that patients with celiac disease who start ingesting gluten again after having been on a gluten free diet may go for years without apparently having any symptoms. Despite this there will be ongoing histological damage to the intestines. It was this apparent prolonged symptom free state that led doctors in the past to believe that people could grow out out of the condition. This is no longer accepted as correct.

    Dr. Ivor Dennis Hill left the University of Baltimore and is now in North Carolina. He is the Chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem. His new phone number is (910) 716 4431. As such he will be very involved in all aspects of Clinical Pediatric Gastroenterology. Dr. Hill has every intention of continuing his work with celiac disease and sees this as an opportunity to open another center of interest. Colleagues at Duke and Chapel Hill are keen to join Dr. Hill in a Pediatric Gastroenterology Group.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Celiac.com 02/12/2007 - Before they are diagnosed, people with celiac disease often find themselves in an unenviable position. They may go out of their way to eat a wholesome, balanced diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables, a good variety of whole-grain foods, and a modest amount of meat and dairy, yet still find themselves suffering a whole range of bothersome stomach and digestive complaints including indigestion, gas, stomach cramps and diarrhea, alternating with constipation. Thats because people with celiac disease are intolerant of the protein gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, and barley (oats contain a type of gluten that may be safe for most celiacs), and is found in the soft, white inside of the grain, its what makes dough, and flour and water paste, sticky and...

    Celiac.com 08/17/2008 - Are you confused about genetic testing for celiac disease? Do you want to know what tests you should request and which laboratory to use?  Have you already had celiac DQ genetic testing but are not sure what the results mean or what your risk is of developing celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? These are the questions I will answer in the next few pages. 
    What is HLA DQ celiac genetic testing?
    To understand celiac DQ genetics and the risk estimates you must also understand how the DQ types are determined and some basic terminology.  Each of us has 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs received from our parents.  We all have two copies of chromosome 6, one from each parent.  Homozygous is w...

    Celiac.com 08/28/2012 - What's In A Name and When Does Celiac Predisposition Become A Disease?
    No doubt that global awareness about celiac disease and its possible involvement in a myriad of other (mostly autoimmune response related) conditions is growing. Growing, unfortunately, is confusion about terminologies and medical implications.


    The “Common” Understanding
    "Celiac disease" has become a generic blanket term not unlike how "Kleenex" today signifies no more than a box of tissue paper of any brand. So, in the public mind, "celiac disease" today stands for everything connected to a reaction to gluten.[1]
    Such an approach is highly imprecise and misses
    the need for distinction between non-celiac and/or celiac gluten sensitivity and the fact that a predisposition doe...
