IBD Patients Seem to Have Milder Effects from COVID-19
Celiac.com 04/30/2020 - Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) seem to suffer milder effects in the disease phase of COVID-19 than other patients, according to two new reports. That may be due to their treatment with immunosuppressant drugs, including salicylates. What's going on? Could people with celiac disease share a similar benefit?
Because many patients with IBD receive immunosuppressive drugs, doctors have wondered whether those patients might be more susceptible to COVID-19, or its effects. On the other hand, immunomodulatory therapies might also suppress the hyperinflammatory cytokine response associated with the most severe presentations of COVID-19.
Dr. Lorenzo Norsa and colleagues observed 522 IBD patients in their clinic at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital...

No Higher Risk of Severe Covid-19, Hospitalization, or Death in Celiac Disease Patients
Celiac.com 02/23/2021 - People with celiac disease face a higher risk for developing pneumococcal pneumonia, and certain types of viral infections. Because of this, many people with celiac disease have wondered if they may have a higher risk of developing Covid-19, or of developing complications or severe Covid-19-related outcomes, if they do get it. The question was serious enough for a team of researchers to take a close look at the data to see whether people with celiac disease face an increased risk of hospitalization for Covid-19, intensive care unit admission, and/or death from Covid-19.
The research team included Benjamin Lebwohl, Emma Larsson, Jonas Söderling, Bjorn Roelstraete, Joseph A Murray, Peter HR Green, and Jonas F Ludvigsson. They are variously affiliated with th...

COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk
Celiac.com 06/28/2021 - There is a growing body of data to suggest the intestinal action of SARS-CoV-2, with ciliated cells and intestinal enterocytes serving as target cells, due to high expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, could possibly trigger celiac disease in predisposed individuals.
Indeed, COVID-19 promotes a “cytokine storm” in the intestinal mucosa, triggering epithelial damage that increases barrier permeability, permitting gliadin to "leak" into the intestinal lamina. However, the possible impact of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the resulting disease, on celiac disease rates remains unknown, with no data currently available on the development of systemic disorder, or on long-term outcomes.
A team of researchers recently set out to highlight the potential risk of a r...

  @Scott Adams @knitty kitty @cristiana @trents Thank you everyone, I should add, I forgot to mention, I did have an upper endoscopy around the time and that came back all clear/perfectly fine , so with both of those I always ruled out celiac disease , especially considering sometimes I'm absolutely fine with gluten

  Testing
  
  Hello, @Deborah123, Which blood tests for Celiac did your son have? TTg IgA tests may throw false negatives in children because of immature immune systems. That's why a complete Celiac panel should be done which includes total IgA, tTg IgA, DGP IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG. Insufficient gluten consumption in the weeks prior to testing can result...

  I agree with @cristianacristiana, @Scott Adams, and @trents. You probably weren't eating sufficient gluten for the test to be accurate. Ten grams of gluten for at least two weeks before testing is needed for accurate blood tests. Three gram of gluten is enough to make you feel unwell. Ten grams of gluten is required for the antibodies to leave...

  Sammy, I have doubts as to whether you were eating enough gluten to render any of the celiac testing you had done valid. Recently revised guidelines for pretest celiac blood antibody analysis is the daily consumption of at least 10 g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks before the blood draw.

  @cristiana Hello ! the first time I sent it off there was a failure and they needed to be redone , whilst I was waiting for this information I was off gluten, then I reintroduced it for a couple of days before going to have it tested again. But I had such a low score that the doctor said it would be quite unlikely to be celiac based off my results, even after...
