European guidelines suggest that in children and adolescents with symptoms compatible with coeliac disease, the diagnosis can be made without the need for intestinal biopsy if anti-tTG antibodies titres are very high (10 times the upper limit of normal). [8] Until the 1970s, biopsies were obtained using metal capsules attached to a suction device.
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), previously termed enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, type I and at one time termed enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma (ETTL), is a complication of coeliac disease in which a malignant T-cell lymphoma develops in areas of the small intestine affected by the disease's intense inflammation.

With some early onset and a large percentage of late onset disease, other disorders appear prior to the coeliac diagnosis [1] or allergic-like responses (IgE or IgA, IgG) markedly increased in GSE. Many of these disorders persist on a strict gluten-free diet (GF diet or GFD), and are thus independent of coeliac disease after triggering.
Autoimmune conditions related to gluten include celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, and gluten ataxia.There is research showing that in people with gluten ataxia early diagnosis and treatment with a gluten-free diet can improve ataxia and prevent its progression. [9]
Malnutrition could be linked to an eating disorder such as anorexia, a lack of access to nutritious foods, or a health condition like celiac disease where your body isn’t able to absorb some ...
A recently proposed criterion to non-coeliac gluten sensitivity diagnosis concludes that an improvement of gastrointestinal symptoms and extra-intestinal manifestations higher than 50% with a gluten-free diet, assessed through a rating scale, may confirm the clinical diagnosis of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. Nevertheless, this rating scale ...
According to the Mayo Clinic, celiac disease is "an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye." "Starting last year, my oldest son, Calvin, has been dealing with ...
For individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, gluten can trigger an immune response, leading to more inflammation and potentially worsening autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata ...
