Celiac disease also known as gluten intolerance syndrome. According to some studies, people with Celiac disease have a higher than normal risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Let's find out more through the following article.
1. What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is gluten intolerance. When people eat gluten-containing foods, they will have allergic reactions that cause serious disorders to the digestive system. Gluten is commonly found in certain foods such as barley, oats, and wheat.
Celiac disease has a relatively low prevalence of about 1%, regardless of sex and age.
Celiac disease leads to inflammation in the lining of the small intestine causing digestive disorders, reducing the ability to absorb nutrients in the small intestine and can lead to dangerous complications if not diagnosed and treated. early treatment.
2. What are the symptoms of Celiac disease?
In patients there will be signs of malabsorption of nutrients, minerals and vitamins.
In children: often appear gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stools with an unusual odor and greasy like grease. Children with the disease may gain weight poorly, become irritable, fussy, and play less. If the child is severely ill, the child may show signs of malnutrition such as a large abdomen, atrophied thigh muscles and a flat buttock,... Adults: Usually the patient will have poor health, symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety and depression colds, irritability, bone or joint pain, possibly missed periods in women. If the patient is not detected in time and is not treated for a long time, it can lead to other complications, such as inflammation of the small intestine.
Therefore, when you suspect that you have the disease or have a family history of Celiac disease, you should visit and do an early diagnosis test.
3. What is the risk of enteritis in people with Celiac disease?
A new study shows a 9-fold increased risk of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients diagnosed with celiac disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic digestive disorder in the intestines, which is the result of an excessive and prolonged immune response in the intestinal mucosa to a certain antigen (food/bacteria.. .) caused on a particularly susceptible genetic basis, this is a disease related to the body's immune function. Characteristic symptoms are abdominal pain and change in bowel habits without any physical damage to the digestive system. Researchers have now identified a clear link between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease. A recently published study by the Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute at McMaster in collaboration with the Celiac Disease Research Consortium found a nine-fold increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients who was previously diagnosed with celiac disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approximately 3 million adults in the United States were diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 2015. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can include many conditions, including: but ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the most common.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Celiac disease are both chronic diseases and tend to begin in early adulthood, but the causes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease are unknown.
First study author Dr. Maria Ines Pinto-Sanchez, associate professor of medicine at McMaster University, said: "Physicians have always suspected that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease may have a link. relation to each other. However, this relationship is not clear. McMaster's study is a reliable source of meta-analysis, which means it evaluated previous research.
Previously, there have been independent studies trying to find an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Celiac disease, but some of the results received were not convincing enough.
The McMaster University study in partnership with the Celiac Disease Research Consortium performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all the studies performed to date.
The team included 65 studies in their analysis, with more than 13 million controls, 43 thousand celiac patients, 166 thousand people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and 3,000 people with “colitis unspecified” determined”. 43/65 studies were performed in adults, 12/65 studies in children, and 9 studies included all ages. Most are European, but that includes research completed in North America and Asia.
A review of the study confirmed that there is a strong link between Celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but at this time it is unclear whether IBD screening should be performed in celiac disease and vice versa. No.
4. What do the findings mean?
Finding an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Celiac disease is very important in the treatment of patients when diagnosed with either disease.
Evaluation for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may also be considered for patients with celiac disease who have persistent symptoms who do not respond well to the gluten-free diet, despite strict adherence to the diet. , is currently the only way to control the disease.
For people with Celiac disease who have inflammatory bowel disease, an appropriate diet is generally recommended: a diet low in FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, polyols) or carbohydrates; gluten-free diet. Applying this diet can be very complicated, but patients need to follow it to get better health.
