    Follow-Up to the Catassi Study - Scandinavia

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Colin, et al, published a follow-up study to the Catassi (Ceeliac Disease in the Year 2000: Exploring the Iceberg - University of Ancona, Italy) in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology - 28(7):595-8, 1993, which demonstrated that approximately one third of the patients from the Catassi Study who had raised antibodies but no villous atrophy, did have villous atrophy when tested two years later. These results raise the amount of diagnosed celiacs from the Catassi, et al study to over 1 in 200.

    Scott Adams

    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 06/06/2002 - Results of a recent study conducted by Anneli Ivarsson and colleagues at Umea University in Sweden suggest that continuing to breast-feed infants while they are being introduced to new foods may reduce their risk of getting celiac disease. Dr. Ivarssons study suggests that the cause of celiac disease may include environmental factors, and not just be limited to genetic factors. Their study evaluated the breast-feeding habits of 627 children with celiac disease and 1,254 healthy children, and specifically looked at their responses to newly introduced foods. The results, published in the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, indicate that dietary patterns of infants may have a strong influence on the...

    Celiac.com 07/30/2003 - The following abstract paints a fairly bleak picture for those of us with celiac disease; however, after taking a closer look at it I believe that it has some serious limitations that should not be overlooked, and have likely produced skewed or irrelevant results. For example, the study does not indicate whether or not the patients in it followed a strict gluten-free diet. Other studies have shown that the mortality risk for celiacs decreases to that of the normal population when a gluten-free diet is followed for at least five years, and that it is also affected by how soon the diagnosis is made and how soon...

    Celiac.com 05/15/2009 - Certain proteins found in the gluten of wheat, rye and barley trigger adverse responses in people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease. This happens when the offending gluten proteins encounter the immune systems of susceptible individuals, triggering a CD4+ T-cell mediated immune response, together with inflammation of the small intestine. However, a number of gluten proteins contain no T-cell stimulatory epitopes, and so trigger no such adverse immune response. So, not all gluten is equally offensive to celiacs, and some may be both well tolerated and useful for making better bread.
    Gluten proteins are found in multiple gene sites on chromosomes 1 and 6 of the three different genomes of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) (AABBDD).

    Celiac.com 03/22/2013 - Enterocyte damage is one of the common features of celiac disease, and often results in malabsorption. Presently, doctors don't know very much about the recovery of enterocyte damage and its clinical consequences. Serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) is a marker that allows researchers to study enterocyte damage.
    A research team set out to determine the severity of enterocyte damage in adult-onset celiac disease, how it responds to a gluten-free diet, and the correlation among enterocyte damage, celiac disease autoantibodies and histological abnormalities during the course of disease.
    The research team included M. P. M. Adriaanse, G. J. Tack, V. Lima Passos, J. G. M. C. Damoiseaux, M. W. J. Schreurs, K. van Wijck, R. G. Riedl, A. A. M. Masclee...
