    Celiac Disease Carries No Higher Risk of Colorectal Cancer
    Celiac.com 02/28/2011 - Celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of lymphoma and small bowel malignancy. Colorectal cancer is the most common gastrointestinal cancers in the United States, but most studies have not found no higher rates of colorectal cancer for people with celiac disease, compared with rates in the general population.
    The results of these studies might in fact be describing a true null relationship between celiac disease and colorectal cancers. However, the results may also be influenced by better health-care among patients with known celiac disease, particularly among those with gastroenterologists who are likely to perform screening colonoscopy.
    Because colonoscopy can decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer via removal of precancerous adenomas during...

    Celiac.com 01/18/2012 - A number of small studies have shown a connection between celiac disease and various gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, but the results haven't been corroborated by larger studies, or by blood and biopsy analysis of large populations. That means that researchers just haven't been able to say with certainty what the results of those smaller studies might mean about cancer risks for the larger population.
    Recently, a clinical team set out to assess GI cancer risks for a larger population. The study team included Peter Elfström, Fredrik Granath, Weimin Ye, and Jonas F. Ludvigsson. They assessed risk GI cancers by using data from large groups of patients with either celiac disease, inflammation, or latent celiac disease.
    They assessed data from 28,882 patients with ...

    Michael Douglas Calls Gluten-free Diet Key to Post-Cancer Health Recovery
    Celiac.com 08/07/2015 - Actor Michael Douglass is making gluten-free celebrity news with his recent disclosure to ITV's Lorraine Kelly that he is eating gluten-free, and that he views the diet is an important part of his post-cancer health regimen.
    The 70-year old Oscar-winning actor says he feels "great," and credits the gluten-free diet with boosting his memory and transforming his health five years after cancer battle.
    Douglass recommends the diet and says it has helped him recover and maintain his weight after dropping over 40 pounds in his battle with throat cancer.
    The American actor, who stars in the superhero film Ant-Man, set for release this week, also spoke with Kelly about his past battles with alcohol and his marriage to Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones...

    Older Adults Diagnosed with Celiac Disease Face Higher T-cell Lymphoma Risk 
    Celiac.com 05/22/2019 - What are the risks for lymphoma and gastrointestinal cancer in patients 55 years and older with newly diagnosed adult-onset celiac disease?
    Researchers and clinicians have reported connections between celiac disease and the development of certain lymphoid and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, but there just isn't much good data. Without good data, it's impossible to develop effective evidence-based follow-up protocols.
    In an effort to develop better information on the subject, a team of researchers recently set out to determine relative (RR) and absolute risks of lymphoma and GI carcinoma for newly diagnosed adult celiac patients.
    The research team included Tom van Gils, Petula Nijeboer, Lucy IH Overbeek, Michael Hauptmann, Daan AR Castelijn, Gerd...

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Welcome to the forum, @terrymouse! Your GI doc is correct. Going gluten free now will allow healing to occur in the villous lining of the small bowel such that the endoscopy/biopsy may not show the damage to the villous architecture that is characteristic of celiac disease. Since your celiac blood antibody tests results are on the low side and don't...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi! I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac. What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D? It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily
