Celiac.com 09/02/2019 - A team of researchers recently set out to investigate rates of first-degree relatives (FDRs) with celiac disease detected at screening, and the diagnostic significance of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG).
The research team included Shilpa S. Nellikkal, MBBS, Yamen Hafed, MD, Joseph J. Larson, BS, Joseph A. Murray, MD, and Imad Absah, MD. They are variously affiliated with the the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and the Division of Biomedical Statistics and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
Using data from the Mayo Clinic going back to 1983, the team conducted a retrospective study on a group ...

Celiac.com 06/20/2022 - Doctors currently recommend that first-degree relatives of those with celiac disease also get screened for the disease, but it's been unclear how often doctors should screen, or at what age.
A team of researchers recently set out to detect variables influencing the risk of celiac disease development so they can develop and validate clinical prediction models in order to provide individualized screening advice.
The research team included Caroline R. Meijer; Renata Auricchio; Hein Putter; Gemma Castillejo; Paula Crespo; Judit Gyimesi; Corina Hartman; Sanja Kolacek; Sibylle Koletzko; Ilma Korponay-Szabo; Eva Martinez Ojinaga; Isabel Polanco; Carmen Ribes-Koninckx; Raanan Shamir; Hania Szajewska; Riccardo Troncone; Vincenzo Villanacci; Katharina Werkstetter...

Celiac.com 10/12/2023 - Celiac disease is a chronic, inflammatory disease triggered by the consumption of gluten-containing foods. Early diagnosis and proper management with a gluten-free diet can reduce its impact on patients' quality of life. People with a family history of celiac disease are at a higher risk, making it crucial to actively identify cases within this group.
A new study conducted by a team of researchers in Australia offers new insight into rates of celiac disease, particularly among first-degree relatives of individuals with the condition. The research team included Richard Muir, Anuj Sehgal, Jason A Tye‐Din and A James M Daveson.
They are variously affiliated with The Wesley Hospital, Brisbane, QLD;  St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital, Brisbane, QLD; the We...

Celiac.com 07/08/2024 - Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the digestive system and is known for causing malabsorption due to damage to the small intestine's lining. This condition is triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and some types of oats. Celiac disease can lead to a variety of symptoms and is often underdiagnosed due to its broad range of clinical presentations. This study aims to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in patients presenting with chronic diarrhea at the gastroenterology outpatient department of Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, as chronic diarrhea is a common symptom in adults with celiac disease.
Study Methods
The study was conducted over a six-month period from December...
