First described in 1880 Link to diet was not described until 1950 In 1954, Dr. Paulley showed that intestinal mucosa was damaged Walker and Murray 2010

Autoimmune Disease Response to barley, wheat, and rye It can affect the gut, skin, joints, uterus, brain, heart, and other organs 1 in 100 have celiac disease Walker and Murray 2010
4
Requires a joint clinicopathological approach First-line test is serology with immunoglobulin A (IgA) tissue transglutaminase and IgA endomysial antibodies. Second, biopsy is the best to confirm the diagnosis of celiac disease Walker and Murray 2010
5
While the sensitivity of IgA to detect celiac disease is 91%, this test has a positive predictive value of only 29% ◦ In one study up to one in 13 cases of celiac disease were undetected by serology IgA deficiency is the most common primary immune deficiency, affecting one in 400 to one in 600 of the general population, and a high proportion of those tested for celiac disease Walker and Murray 2010
6
Biopsy should occur in the duodenum, preferably the second portion of it. Duodenal bulb is a secondary location Suggested that biopsies should occur four to five times before true diagnosis can be made Classical scalloping of duodenal mucosa seen in established celiac disease at endoscopy. Walker and Murray 2010

Top: Normal small bowel biopsy with finger-like villi. Bottom: Celiac small bowel biopsy with villous atrophy and hypertrophy of crypt. Martin 2008
8
Nausea, Diarrhea, vomiting Irritability, fatigue Itchy rash over arms, elbow, scalp, face and knees Lactose intolerance, infertility, depression, and elevated liver enzymes Martin 2008
9
Have a three-fold higher risk of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma as well as cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. Lower risk of postmenopausal breast cancer because of lower obesity rates. Iron deficiency anemia is also prevalent due to malabsorption Worse cases have megablastic anemia because of B12 deficiency Martin 2008
10
Introduction to complementary foods too soon Introduction to complementary foods too late Use of formula instead of breast milk Genes OR … A combination of the four?
11
Early in life, the body is building up immune functions as well as proper responses to food Without the proper enzymes to digest a food, the body treats it like an antigen/allergen Allergen exposure too early when the gut colonization and local immune networks are less established may increase the risk of allergic or autoimmune disease Prescott, Smith, Tang, Palmer, Sinn, Huntley, Cormac et. al 2008
12
Evidence that waiting until after six months to introduce complementary foods increases food allergies Instead, there is a critical period during which complementary foods must be introduced Animal studies suggest this age to be 4-6 months School of Pediatrics and Child Health Research 2008
13
Studies show that breast feeding at least delays the onset of celiac disease Continued breastfeeding promotes tolerance and have protective effects during the time when complementary feeding is initiated.
14
Breast milk may limit amount of gluten absorbed Prevention of gastrointestinal infections by breast milk Human milk IgA antibodies may diminish immune response to ingested gluten The immune modulating property of human milk may be exerted through its T-cell specific suppressive effect. Selimoglu, Mukadder Ayse MD; Karabiber, Hamza MD 2010
15
VERY strong correlation Virtually all patients carry human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 The absence of these molecules has a negative predictive value for celiac disease close to 100%. Walker and Murray 2010
16
The best treatment is a gluten-free diet. This has a near 100% chance of relieving most, if not all symptoms Unfortunately, sticking to the diet is very hard Also, gluten-free diet is correlated with anger, sadness, and despair Selimoglu, Mukadder Ayse MD; Karabiber, Hamza MD 2010
17
Enzyme supplement treatment ◦ Lack of endoprolyl peptidase (PEP) ◦ Administration of enzymes with meals can complement gastric and pancreatic enzymes in detoxification of ingested gluten Designer carbohydrates ◦ The aim is the production of wheat that is devoid of biologically active peptide sequences Correction of impaired Intestinal permeability Selimoglu, Mukadder Ayse MD; Karabiber, Hamza MD 2010
