Abstract:
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorders, occurs in genetically susceptible individuals and is triggered by the ingestion of a well-idenfined autoantigen- gluten. It affects primarily the small intestine,where it progressively leads to flattening of small intestinal mucosa. Three cereals contain gluten and are toxic for Celiac patients – wheat,rye and barley. It occurs more commonly in relatives of celiac patients and some at risk groups. It causes gastrointestinal symtoms, predominantly chronic diarrhoea with wastings, but also many extra-intestinal menifestations can be present alone. Suspected patient should be screened with transglutaminase + total serum IgA and if positive, confirmed by biopsy before the gluten-free diet is started. A gluten free diet typically reverses all signs and symptoms within a short time. Monitoring of the patient to verify ongoing dietetic compliance is fundamental in order to ensure that all possible complications, including malignancies, are avoided.
