Figure 2 CLE images of (A) baseline and (B and C) after food challenge findings. (A) Confocal image at baseline shows closely attached villi and vascularity, representing the deepest level of mucosal imaging with CLE. (B) Confocal image after mucosal reaction to food. Multiple eruptions represent breaks in the wall (white arrows), through which fluorescein is secreted into the lumen. The IVS widened and is turning grey instead of the initial black. (C) End stage of the reaction. Because of an influx of fluorescein the IVS turned white and widened further.

Figure 3 Images of a single cell after food challenge shows the onset of mucosal damage. (A–C) The intact epithelium (A) starts to break its continuity (B), forming a leak with eruption of fluorescein into the gut lumen (C). Although a physiological process, the onset of large numbers of breaks represents pathology (Figure 2B). Gastroenterology , e4DOI: ( /j.gastro ) Copyright © 2014 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
