Celiac Disease and the Colon
Practical Gastroenterology - Sept. 2008
by William Dickey

| Quote: | Celiac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy of the proximal small intestine triggered by dietary exposure to gluten, affects 0.5%–1% of the general population. Serological testing for celiac related autoantibodies has facilitated diagnosis considerably, which still requires biopsy of the duodenum. There are now well described associations between celiac disease and both inflammatory bowel disease and microscopic colitis. Clinicians managing celiac disease should be aware of these associations and when to consider colon investigation.
