    Celiac.com 04/24/2024 - First Wave BioPharma, a leading biopharmaceutical company specializing in gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, is set to unveil groundbreaking research on celiac disease at the upcoming 2024 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) Conference. This announcement comes with the acceptance of two abstracts for presentation at the esteemed event, scheduled for May 18-21, 2024, in Washington, D.C.

    The first abstract, titled "A Composite Mucosal Scale for Celiac Disease Encompassing both Morphology and Inflammation," will introduce VCIEL, a novel quantitative composite scale. VCIEL combines key histologic measurements—villus height to crypt depth ratio (Vh:celiac disease) and density of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL)—to enhance the accuracy of assessing small intestinal mucosal health in celiac disease patients. This innovation promises to revolutionize clinical trials by providing more precise endpoint measurements.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The second abstract, "Dynamics of Serologic Change to Gluten in Celiac Disease Patients," delves into the complexities of diagnosing celiac disease. The study draws from a vast clinical database to investigate critical aspects, including the impact of gluten reintroduction on seropositivity and the correlation between different tTG-IgA assays. These findings have significant implications for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient management strategies.

    James Sapirstein, Chairman and CEO of First Wave BioPharma, expressed excitement about the potential impact of their research on advancing the diagnosis and management of celiac disease. Jack Syage, PhD, President and Chief Operating Officer of First Wave, emphasized the validation of their work through the invitation to present at DDW 2024—a testament to the company's commitment to enhancing understanding and treatment options for individuals with celiac disease.

    This pioneering research from First Wave BioPharma represents a significant step forward in the quest for precision diagnostics and targeted therapies for celiac disease, offering hope for improved outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals.

    Can Diet and Mucosal Immune Response Drive Persistent Symptoms in Gluten-Free Celiac Patients?
    Celiac.com 05/07/2019 - What causes persistent symptoms in celiac patients who are following a gluten-free diet? Many people with celiac disease suffer from persistent symptoms, even with healthy intestinal mucosa, and while following a gluten-free diet.
    A team of researchers recently set out to explore the role of dietary factors, distinct small-bowel mucosal immune cell types, and epithelial integrity in the perpetuation of gastrointestinal symptoms in gluten-free celiac disease patients.
    The research team included Pilvi Laurikka, MD; Katri Lindfors, PhD; Mikko Oittinen, MSc; Heini Huhtala, MSc; Teea Salmi, MD, PhD; Marja-Leena Lähdeaho, MD; Tuire PhIlus, MD, PhD; Markku Mäki, MD, PhD; Katri Kaukinen, MD, PhD; and Kalle Kurppa, MD, PhD.

    How Effective are the Serological Methods of Diagnosing Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 04/22/2023 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that may occur in genetically susceptible individuals. It is initiated by ingestion of gluten present in cereals, primarily wheat and to a much lesser extent other cereal proteins such as prolamines of barley and rye. Celiac disease is characterized by malabsorption resulting from inflammatory injury to the small intestinal mucosa. The classical symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea, weight loss and malnutrition, however, only a small percentage of patients with celiac disease present with classical symptoms. Such patients represent the tip of the iceberg of gluten sensitivity. Many patients with celiac disease may present with short stature, iron and folate deficiency, anemia, bone loss, aphthous stomatitis, arthralgia...

    Potential New Treatments for Celiac Disease Touted at Digestive Disease Week
    Celiac.com 06/21/2023 - Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, currently lacks effective drug therapies. To recover and remain healthy, everyone with celiac disease must adhere to a strict gluten-free diet throughout their lives. But this approach is expensive, cumbersome, and often falls short in achieving full mucosal healing and symptom control. 
    Consequently, researchers are actively seeking innovative treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of the disease. One area of promising research focuses on developing therapies that specifically target gene variants associated with celiac disease, such as the HLA-DQ2 gene.
    Various clinical trials are underway to investigate potential treatments for celiac disease. For example, the ...

    Groundbreaking Research Uncovers Skin Biomarkers for Food Allergy Risk
    Celiac.com 04/22/2024 - Food allergies, especially common in childhood, can pose serious threats to health, sometimes leading to severe or even fatal reactions. However, recent advancements in research conducted at National Jewish Health offer hope for early intervention to prevent the development of such allergies.
    At National Jewish Health, researchers have pioneered a groundbreaking program focused on preventing food allergies. Their latest breakthrough involves the discovery of early indicators for this condition, which marks a significant stride towards proactive intervention.
    The research team identified biomarkers associated with both atopic dermatitis and food allergy, particularly abnormal lipids, microbes, and proteins present in the skin.
    In a recent study...

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,...
