Types Of Celiac Disease

I found this very interesting article on a link on Celiac Disease and thought I would share it. In this piece, there is quite a bit of "eye-opening" relative information. The fact that there is some "typing" makes sense and then there are the "Marsh" types as well that hold more definite terms. The part I really like is the added information on what needs to be "watched" along being gluten free. What areas we need to focus on for remedial and distressed issues. Follow-up care just seems to be lacking from what I have heard and read so far. This link actually gives some insight for future Dr. visits we Celiacs need.

Hope it helps others as well.

Great article. Thanks for posting the link.

I was very interested in the long list of other conditions people might have that should prompt celiac testing. It is too often difficult to get doctors to consider testing for celiac!

This should be emailed to each and every doctor on the planet (except mine who is very good).

One of the most informative articles I have read in ages - thanks for posting! :)

I am just thankful that my "silent celiac" 11 year old had a doctor that recognized it goes with thyroid conditions. I am still amazed we found it before symtoms and with only "simplification of the villi". (Although, a very slight small symtom would be helpful so I could know if these restaurants are safe!)

I know what you mean. I was diagnosed as a silent celiac (through genetic screening) so never know whether I have been glutened or not. I assume not because I am very careful but you never know when eating out.

My villi were very blunted, nearly flat but I am glad that your son was diagnosed early!

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
