Bacterial Overgrowth, Gut Permeability Tied to Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Celiac.com 07/03/2009 - A new study provides demonstrates that small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and increased intestinal permeability are both associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Previous studies have suggested that bacteria from the intestine might play a role in NAFLD, which is the hepatic component of the Metabolic Syndrome. NAFLD can worsen to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and some experts have wondered if this progression might be promoted by liver exposure to gut bacteria.
A team of researchers, led by Antonio Grieco of Rome, set out to answer this question by investigating gut permeability in patients with NAFLD and comparing the results to patients with untreated celiac disease and known susceptibility to this condition, and with healthy volunteers...

Higher Risk of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease After Celiac Diagnosis
Celiac.com 06/29/2015 - Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common cause of chronic liver disease. There's good data showing that celiac disease changes intestinal permeability, and that treatment with a gluten-free diet often causes weight gain, but so far there is scant documentation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with celiac disease.
A team of researchers recently set out to assess increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease following diagnosis of celiac disease. The research team include Norelle R. Reilly, Benjamin Lebwohl, Rolf Hultcrantz, Peter H.R. Green, and Jonas F. Ludvigsson. They are affiliated with the Department Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and the Department of Pediatrics at Örebro University ...

Celiac Patients on a Gluten-free Diet Face Increased Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Celiac.com 10/24/2018 - Although some research has shown a connection between a gluten-free diet, altered macronutrient intake and metabolic syndrome, not much good data exists on the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with celiac disease who follow a gluten-free diet. A team of researchers recently set out to assess the prevalence and relative risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in celiac patients treated with a gluten-free diet.
The research team included F. Tovoli; G. Negrini; R. Farì; E. Guidetti; C. Faggiano; L. Napoli; L. Bolondi; and A. Granito of the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
For many patients with metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common. To try to get some better i...

New Classification of Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease in Celiac Patients
Celiac.com 06/22/2021 - People with celiac disease have a higher risk for developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other related metabolic disorders, especially if they are not on a gluten-free diet.
A team of researchers recently set out to explore the prevalence of NAFLD and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in celiac patients at the time of celiac diagnosis and after 2 years of GFD; and to assess the role of PNPLA3 rs738409 in the development of NAFLD and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in the celiac population.
Recently, a new category of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed to move beyond the constraints of the NAFLD definition.
The research team included Antonio Rispo; Nicola Imperatore; Maria Gua...

  Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?
  
  @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation...

  Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?
  
  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

  It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

  Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
