Celiac.com 01/30/2017 - A team of researchers recently set out to analyze potential changes in occurrence of complicated coeliac disease over the last 25 years.
The research team included W. Eigner, K. Bashir, C. Primas, L. Kazemi-Shirazi, F. Wrba, M. Trauner, and H. Vogelsang. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Internal Medicine III, Medical University Hospital of Vienna, Vienna, Austria, and with the Department of Pathology at the Medical University of Vienna in Vienna, Austria.
The team included and evaluated a total of 1,138 patients based on time of first presentation at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
They assessed occurrences of refractory celiac disease and associated malignancies in 5-year intervals...

Celiac.com 04/22/2020 - Collagenous sprue, aka enteritis, is a rare mucosal small intestinal disorder marked by a clear histopathological lesion containing collagen. People who suffer from collagenous sprue frequently experience severe diarrhea, progressive nutrient malabsorption, protein depletion and weight loss.
Closely linked to celiac disease, collagenous sprue is notoriously difficult to treat, and medical literature records only a few claims of successful therapy. Clinical studies suggest myriad causes for collagenous sprue, with prognoses often depending on the cause. 
Recently, collagenous sprue has been found in numerous diverse settings, including as a paraneoplastic feature of early malignancies, and as a result of the toxic medications including non-steroidal ...

Celiac.com 11/30/2021 - We all know symptoms of celiac disease are activated by the consumption of gluten, which can be found in wheat, barley, rye, and even oats that aren’t certified gluten-free. Most individuals who go on a gluten-free diet will think about food only, not necessarily medications. However, the truth of the matter is you need to be careful with both nutritional supplements, and over-the-counter and prescription medications, as they could contain gluten. 
More often than not, excipients, which are binding agents or inactive ingredients in pills, tend to contain wheat, potato, corn, or rice. Additionally, even if a brand name drug is gluten-free, this does not mean that its generic version is. Nutritional supplements tend to be easier because a lot of companies no...

Celiac.com 01/27/2024 - We've done many articles that cover nutrient deficiencies that are associated with untreated celiac disease, but many people do not realize that celiac disease can also lead to malabsorption of medications and supplements. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, where both nutrient and certain medication absorption takes place. This damage can result in decreased absorption of various substances, including both over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements.
Medications that are taken orally and absorbed in the small intestine may be affected by malabsorption in individuals with untreated celiac disease. As a result, the effectiveness of these medications might be compromised. It's essential for individuals with celiac disease...
