DefinitionCeliac disease is an immune-mediated enteropathy caused by a permanent sensitivity to gluten in genetically susceptible individuals.
It occurs in symptomatic subjects with gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms, and in some asymptomatic individuals, including subjects affected by:
- Type 1 diabetes - Williams syndrome
- Down syndrome - Selective IgA deficiency
- Turner syndrome - First degree relatives of
individuals with celiac disease

Clinical Manifestations
• Gastrointestinal (“classical”)• Non-gastrointestinal ( “atypical”)
• Asymptomatic
In addition, Celiac Disease may be associated with other conditions, and mostly with:• Autoimmune disorders• Some syndromes

• Silent: No or minimal symptoms, “damaged” mucosa and
positive serology
Identified by screening asymptomatic individuals from groups at risk such:
– First degree relatives– Down syndrome patients– Type 1 diabetes patients, etc.
3 – AsymptomaticSilent Latent

10
• Latent: No symptoms, normal mucosa
– May show positive serology. Identified by following in time asymptomatic individuals previously identified at screening from groups at risk. These individuals, given the “right” circumstances, will develop at some point in time mucosal changes (± symptoms)
3 – Asymptomatic

EpidemiologyThe “old” Celiac Disease Epidemiology:
• A rare disorder typical of infancy• Wide incidence fluctuates in space (1/400 Ireland
to 1/10000 Denmark) and in time• A disease of essentially European origin

The Global Village of Celiac Disease
• In many areas of the world Celiac Disease is one of the commonest, lifelong disorders affecting around 1% of the general population.
• Most cases escape diagnosis and are exposed to the risk of complications.
• Active Celiac Disease case-finding is needed but mass screening should be considered.
• The impact of Celiac Disease in the developing world needs further evaluation.
![Page 18: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Diagnostic principles• Confirm diagnosis before treating
– Diagnosis of Celiac Disease mandates a strict gluten-free diet for life
• following the diet is not easy• QOL implications
• Failure to treat has potential long term adverse health consequences
• increased morbidity and mortality
Diagnosis
![Page 19: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
21
Serological TestsRole of serological tests:• Identify symptomatic individuals who need
a biopsy• Screening of asymptomatic “at risk”
individuals• Supportive evidence for the diagnosis• Monitoring dietary compliance
![Page 20: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
22
Serological Tests• Antigliadin antibodies (AGA)*• *Antiendomysial antibodies (EMA)• *Anti tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTG)
– first generation (guinea pig protein)– second generation (human recombinant)
• HLA typing
• *2004 Consensus Conf. Best tests

23
Treatment
• Only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD)– Strict, lifelong diet– Avoid:
• Wheat• Rye• Barley
![Page 22: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
24
Oats –are they Safe?• Studies from 1970’s suggested that
oats were toxic in CD• Oats contain a protein-avenin• Avenin- similar to wheat gliadin• Both are prolamins –rich in
glutamine and proline, both amino acids
![Page 23: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
25
OATS• Avenin- proportion of proline and
glutmaine is very low in oats compared to gliadin in wheat
• 2004, Random. Clin Trial in• children fed GFD vs. GFD with oats• Hogberg Gut May 1, 2004 53(5)649-
654.

26
Findings• First large study to indicate that oats in
GFD do not prevent normalization of the small bowel tissue or celiac markers.
• Other evidence supporting the safety of oats; G. Kilmartin Gut, January 1, 2003
• In CD, oats are not toxic and immunogenic, Srinivasan BMJ 1996:1300-01

Sources of Gluten• OBVIOUS SOURCES
– Bread– Bagels– Cakes– Cereal– Cookies– Pasta / noodles– Pastries / pies– Rolls
![Page 26: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
28
Treatment – 6 Elements in RX• Consultation with a skilled dietitian
Education about the disease • Lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet • Identification and treatment of nutritional
deficiencies • Access to an advocacy group • Continuous long-term follow-up by a
multidisciplinary team
![Page 27: Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052406/58970c001a28ab100d8b9024/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
29
Barriers to Compliance• Ability to manage emotions –
depression, anxiety• Ability to resist temptation –
exercising restraint• Feelings of deprivation• Fear generated by
inaccurate information

Factors that Improve AdherenceInternal Adherence Factors Include:• Knowledge about the gluten-free diet• Understanding the risk factors and serious complications
can occur to the patient• Ability to break down big changes into smaller steps
– Ability to simplify or make behavior routine• Ability to reinforce positive changes internally• Positive coping skills• Ability to recognize and manage mental health issues• Trust in physicians and dietitians
