Some time ago, I dedicated two or three weekends to learning more about the structure of Celiac disease and its physiology or pathophysiology if at all possible. The latter is ongoing and more difficult than the former because it involves proteins, antibodies, enzymes, antigens, tight junctions etc...It's just more challenging. But one resource among a few that I did find is the fantastic ITunes U. Please avail yourself of this if you can. It's a wonderfully rich site. On ITunes U, I came across a grand rounds lecture at the University of Arizona, by Dr Hasan Hasan. He visually demonstrates the gluten trigger and how it works to blunt the villi. It's one of the most demonstrative things on celiac disease I've seen to date.

Now I am taking Anatomy and Physiology to learn more (the mucosa is made up of epithelial AND connective tissue is my latest breakthrough).

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I am monitored for this value of Vit D. I kept going down so the Vit D had to be increased.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well...

      Second chance

      Hello, I'm I crazy, nieve, or atomistic? I reached out to my former pcp of 25 years on the medical app today.Reading on the National Library of Medicine 75.6 physicians don't know celiac disease.To be fair he is primary and with the lack of knowledge, I did reach out because he was my Dr for 25 years.I do prefer his app than the one I currently have that...

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      By MoniqueCham · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well to entocort. I have a number of autoimmune conditions including systemic granuloma annulaire (a skin condition) which was treated with methotrexate. I was on a low dose of methotrexate (15 mg once a week with folic acid every day when not taking methotrexate). In 5 months my sigmoid colon ruptured. Pathology reports show that I had significant necrosis of my sigmoid bowel due to no known cause and a large hole in the bowel. My surgeons felt that the methotrexate may have caused the damage and rupture to my bowel (1 in a million chance). My question is has anyone experienced similar issues with methotrexate given that the integrity of our intestines may be compromised in celiac disease?

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      By trents · Posted

      @cristiana, I'm thinking the intensity of our response to the same amount of gluten can vary from time to time. Our bodies are a dynamic entity.
