1940s Dutch physician Willem Karel Dicker's recommendation of a wheat-free diet was supported by the discovery that celiac disease declined during the bread shortages of the Second World War but climbed again after the war.
1952By studying fecal content, Dicke and his colleagues identified gluten as the trigger for celiac disease, and the gluten-free diet became standard treatment.Pulse Picture Library/CMP Images/ Phototake

1989 Immunologist Ludvig Solid's group from Oslo narrowed down the major genetic risk for celiac disease to two versions of the histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecule.
1997 Gastroenterologist Deltlef Schuppan then at the Free University of Berlin, discovered that the autoantibodies of celiac patients are directed against tissue transglutaminase (an enzyme released from the intestine’s cells when gluten passes into the mucosal layer). He introduced a simple blood-screening test for initial diagnosis.

BMC Gastroenterol. 2014 Feb 13;14:28. doi: 10.1186/1471-230X-14-28.Follow-up of pediatric celiac disease: value of antibodies in predicting mucosal healing, a prospective cohort study.Vécsei E, Steinwendner S, Kogler H, Innerhofer A, Hammer K, Haas OA, Amann G, Chott A, Vogelsang H, Schoenlechner R, Huf W, Vécsei A1. AbstractBACKGROUND: In diagnosing celiac disease (CD), serological tests are highly valuable. However, their role in following up children with CD after prescription of a gluten-free diet is unclear. This study aimed to compare the performance of antibody tests in predicting small-intestinal mucosal status in diagnosis vs. follow-up of pediatric CD.METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study at a tertiary-care center. 148 children underwent esophohagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsies either for symptoms ± positive CD antibodies (group A; n = 95) or following up CD diagnosed ≥ 1 year before study enrollment (group B; n = 53). Using biopsy (Marsh ≥ 2) as the criterion standard, areas under ROC curves (AUCs) and likelihood-ratios were calculated to estimate the performance of antibody tests against tissue transglutaminase (TG2), deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) and endomysium (EMA).RESULTS: AUCs were higher when tests were used for CD diagnosis vs. follow-up: 1 vs. 0.86 (P = 0.100) for TG2-IgA, 0.85 vs. 0.74 (P = 0.421) for TG2-IgG, 0.97 vs. 0.61 (P = 0.004) for DPG-IgA, and 0.99 vs. 0.88 (P = 0.053) for DPG-IgG, respectively. Empirical power was 85% for the DPG-IgA comparison, and on average 33% (range 13-43) for the non-significant comparisons. Among group B children, 88.7% showed mucosal healing (median 2.2 years after primary diagnosis). Only the negative likelihood-ratio of EMA was low enough (0.097) to effectively rule out persistent mucosal injury. However, out of 12 EMA-positive children with mucosal healing, 9 subsequently turned EMA-negative.CONCLUSIONS: Among the CD antibodies examined, negative EMA most reliably predict mucosal healing. In general, however, antibody tests, especially DPG-IgA, are of limited value in predicting the mucosal status in the early years post-diagnosis but may be sufficient after a longer period of time.
CONCLUSIONS:
Negative endomysium (EMA) antibodies most reliably predict mucosal healing

Childs Nerv Syst. 2014 Feb 25. [Epub ahead of print]Prevalence of resistant occipital lobe epilepsy associated with celiac disease in children.Dai AI1, Akcali A, Varan C, Demiryürek AT. AbstractPURPOSE: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder caused by intolerance to ingested gluten. Increased frequency of CD has been reported in occipital lobe epilepsy. The aim of the present study is to investigate the frequency of CD among children followed up due to epilepsy and diagnosed with epileptic activity in the occipital lobe in at least one electroencephalography (EEG) test.METHODS: For this research, 90 pediatric epilepsy patients with epileptic activity in the occipital lobe were enrolled in the study group, while the control group comprised of 100 healthy children. In addition to the EEG examination, tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody was determined on duodenal biopsy.RESULTS: None of the healthy children in the control group was positive in terms of the tTG antibody test used to scan CD. In the group with epileptic activity in the occipital lobe, two patients out of 90 were tTG antibody positive. The seroprevalence was 1/45 (2.22 %) in this group. These two patients were diagnosed with CD based on the endoscopic duodenal biopsy. In these patients, the seizures were uncontrollable through monotherapy.CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that the prevalence of CD is observed to be higher than the normal population among the patients with occipital lobe epilepsy. This type of seizure disorder seems to be more resistant to monotherapy, compared with other types of occipital epilepsy. Therefore, screening for CD is recommended in children with resistant epileptic activity in the occipital lobe.
CONCLUSIONS:
Screening for CD is recommended in children with resistant epileptic activity in the occipital lobe

Deamidation of gliadin peptides by tissue transglutaminase creates immunogenic peptides presented by HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 molecules to activate proinflammatory CD4 T cells. Detecting gliadin specific T cell responses from the peripheral blood has been challenging due to low circulating frequencies and heterogeneity in response to gliadin epitopes. We investigated the peripheral T cell responses to alpha and gamma gliadin epitopes in young children with newly diagnosed and untreated CD. Using peptide/MHC recombinant protein constructs, we are able to robustly stimulate CD4 T cell clones previously derived from intestinal biopsies of CD patients. These recombinant proteins and a panel of α- and γ-gliadin peptides were used to assess T cell responses from the peripheral blood. Proliferation assays using peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed more CD4 T cell responses to α-gliadin than γ-gliadin peptides with a single deamidated α-gliadin peptide able to identify 60% of CD children. We conclude that it is possible to detect T cell responses without a gluten challenge or in vitro stimulus other than antigen, when measuring proliferative responses.

PLoS One. 2014 Mar 4;9(3):e90552. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0090552. eCollection 2014.Coeliac patients are undiagnosed at routine upper endoscopy.Robson K1, Alizart M1, Martin J2, Nagel R3. AbstractBACKGROUND AND AIMS: Two out of three patients with Coeliac Disease (CD) in Australia are undiagnosed. This prospective clinical audit aimed to determine how many CD patients would be undiagnosed if duodenal biopsy had only been performed if the mucosa looked abnormal or the patient presented with typical CD symptoms.METHODS: All eligible patients presenting for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (OGD) in a regional center from 2004-2009 underwent prospective analysis of presenting symptoms and duodenal biopsy. Clinical presentations were defined as either Major (diarrhea, weight loss, iron deficiency, CD family history or positive celiac antibodies- Ab) or Minor Clinical Indicators (CI) to duodenal biopsy (atypical symptoms). Newly diagnosed CD patients had follow up celiac antibody testing.RESULTS: Thirty-five (1.4%) new cases of CD were identified in the 2,559 patients biopsied at upper endoscopy. Almost a quarter (23%) of cases presented with atypical symptoms. There was an inverse relationship between presentation with Major CI's and increasing age (<16, 16-59 and >60: 100%, 81% and 50% respectively, p = 0.03); 28% of newly diagnosed CD patients were aged over 60 years. Endoscopic appearance was a useful diagnostic tool in only 51% (18/35) of CD patients. Coeliac antibodies were positive in 34/35 CD patients (sensitivity 97%).CONCLUSIONS: Almost one quarter of new cases of CD presented with atypical symptoms and half of the new cases had unremarkable duodenal mucosa. At least 10% of new cases of celiac disease are likely to be undiagnosed at routine upper endoscopy, particularly patients over 60 years who more commonly present atypically. All new CD patients could be identified in this study by performing pre-operative celiac antibody testing on all patients presenting for OGD and proceeding to biopsy only positive antibody patients and those presenting with either Major CI or abnormal duodenal mucosa for an estimated cost of AUS$4,629 and AUS$3,710 respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
• One quarter of new cases of CD presented with atypical symptoms
• Half of the new cases had unremarkable duodenal mucosa
• 10% of new cases of celiac disease are likely to be undiagnosed at routine upper endoscopy

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Mar 31. Mucosal Healing in Children With Treated Celiac Disease.Ghazzawi Y1, Tapia AR, Murray JA, Absah I.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Mar 31. [Epub ahead of print]Mucosal Healing in Children With Treated Celiac Disease.Ghazzawi Y1, Tapia AR, Murray JA, Absah I. AbstractOBJECTIVES:: Limited data suggest complete mucosal healing in treated children with celiac disease (CD), but recent data from adult endoscopic biopsies have shown substantial numbers with persistent mucosal injury. We aimed to assess the rate of mucosal healing and indications for repeat small-bowel (SB) biopsy in children with CD.METHODS:: We retrospectively reviewed records of children (age 1-18 years) with CD who underwent a second SB biopsy. All were seen at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota) from January 1997 through June 2013.RESULTS:: Forty children were identified (14 male); average age at diagnosis was 8.5 years. Indications for second small bowel (SB) biopsy were abdominal pain (n = 20), diarrhea (n = 7), constipation (n = 5), non-celiac-related concern (n = 2), follow-up (n = 5), and persistent serology (n = 1). Average time between biopsies was 24 months (range, 4-120 months). Histology on the second biopsy showed complete healing (n = 25), intraepithelial lymphocytes (n = 9), and persistent villous atrophy (n = 6). Of these 3 patients with partial villous atrophy, and 3 with complete villous atrophy. Persistent villous atrophy was observed in 2/20 patients with abdominal pain and 1/7 with diarrhea. All patients with persistent constipation (n = 5) had complete resolution.CONCLUSION:: Mucosal healing in children with CD may not be complete as previously assumed. Abdominal pain was the most common indication for repeating the SB biopsy. Persistence of abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation was poorly associated with persistence of mucosal injury.
CONCLUSION:
Persistence of abdominal pain ,diarrhea and constipation poorly associated with persistence of mucosal injury

AbstractBACKGROUND: Faecal short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced by the gut microflora. We have previously reported high faecal SCFA levels in children with coeliac disease (CD), indicating alteration in gut microfloral metabolism. Data accumulated over recent decades by us and others suggest that wheat-free oats can safely be included in a gluten-free diet (GFD). However, concerns have been raised with respect to the safety of oats in a subset of coeliacs.AIM: To describe faecal SCFA patterns in children with newly diagnosed CD treated for 1 year with a GFD with or without oats.METHODS: This report is part of a randomised, double-blind study on the effect of a GFD containing oats (GFD-oats) vs. a standard GFD (GFD-std). Faecal samples were received from 34 children in the GFD-oats group and 37 in the GFD-std group at initial diagnosis and/or after 1 year on a GFD. Faecal SCFAs were analysed.RESULTS: The GFD-std group had a significantly lower total faecal SCFA concentration at 12 months compared with 0 months (P < 0.05). In contrast, total SCFA in the GFD-oats group remained high after 1 year on the GFD. The children in the GFD-oats group had significantly higher acetic acid (P < 0.05), n-butyric acid (P < 0.05) and total SCFA concentration (P < 0.01) after 1-year diet treatment compared to the GFD-std group.CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that oats do affect the gut microflora function, and that some coeliac children receiving oats may develop gut mucosal inflammation, that may present a risk for future complications.

Dig Dis Sci. 2014 Apr 6. Clinical Utility of Celiac Disease-Associated HLA Testing.Pallav K1, Kabbani T, Tariq S, Vanga R, Kelly CP, Leffler DA. AbstractBACKGROUND: Negative predictive value (NPV) of celiac disease (CD)-related human leukocyte antigens (HLA) DQ2 and DQ8 approaches 100 % in individual patients. However, studies evaluating its exclusionary utility in patient groups are lacking.AIM: We aim to assess the performance of HLA testing when applied to patient groups with varying characteristics and propose evidence-based recommendations for its clinical use.METHODS: Demographic and clinical information was recorded in patients undergoing HLA testing. Using predetermined criteria, patients were classified as CD, non-CD, or indeterminate. Diagnostic yield of HLA testing was defined as the percentage of patients in whom CD could be excluded based on negative HLA test.RESULTS: Two hundred and fifty-six patients underwent testing for CD-related HLA DQ2 and DQ8. 102 (100 non-CD, 2 CD) patients tested HLA negative for a 98 % NPV and 39 % diagnostic yield. Diagnostic yield was highest (60 %) in patients with intraepithelial lymphocytosis plus normal IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA-tTG) and lowest in patients with positive IgA-tTG plus villous atrophy (0 %). CD was diagnosed in two HLA-negative patients, who carried half of DQ2.5 trans genotype.CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic yield of CD-related HLA testing varies widely depending on clinical indication. HLA testing is a practical and valuable test for most patients in whom initial evaluation for CD is inconclusive. A negative HLA result usually obviates the need for further celiac testing including endoscopy and gluten challenge. Rarely, in patients reported as HLA negative, half of HLA DQ2.5 (cis or trans) is sufficient for development of CD.
CONCLUSIONS:
A negative HLA result usually obviates the need for further celiac testing including endoscopy and gluten challenge

Pediatr Neurol. 2014 May;50(5):479-81. doi: 10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2014.01.021. Epub 2014 Jan 11.Prevalence of celiac disease in children with idiopathic epilepsy in southeast Turkey.Işıkay S1, Kocamaz H2. AbstractBACKGROUND: We examined the prevalence of celiac disease in children with idiopathic epilepsy.METHODS: Patients were screened for celiac disease using the immunoglobulin A anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and small intestinal biopsy were offered to all antibody-positive patients. The control group consisted of 400 healthy children.RESULTS: A total of 600 patients (332 boys, 268 girls; 8 months-15 years; 9.40 ± 4.09 years) were studied. In 38 patients, the diagnosis was childhood partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. Six of the 38 patients with childhood partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (15.7%) had positive immunoglobulin A anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody. The frequency of biopsy-proven celiac disease was 15.7% (6/38) among children with childhood partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. None of the control patients had positive immunoglobulin A anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody results.CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the prevalence of celiac disease in children with partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms may be higher than with other types of epilepsies. It may be reasonable to screen individuals with this type of epilepsy for celiac disease.
CONCLUSIONS:
Prevalence of celiac disease in children with partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms may be higher than with other types of epilepsies
To screen individuals with this type of epilepsy for celiac disease.
