Introduction: Quantitative and phenotypic analyses of duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) by flow cytometry (IEL lymphogram) confer specificity and enable the diagnosis even in unconventional presentations of celiac disease (CD). To evaluate the validity of the IEL lymphograms in the pediatric population for new insights into their use as biomarkers in the natural history of CD.
Methods: We retrospectively included 1,211 children (602 with active CD, 92 on a gluten-free diet, 47 with potential CD, and 470 nonceliac controls) who required duodenal biopsies in this study.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is often clinically indistinguishable from celiac disease, and patients show improvement or resolution of their symptoms with a gluten-free diet. In contrast to celiac disease, the effects of gluten on the skin and hair in the context of non-celiac gluten sensitivity are not as clear. This review aims to describe the impact of gluten on the skin and hair in patients with non-celiac gluten sensitivity and those without a definitive celiac disease diagnosis.

Food allergy is an aberrant immunological response to food antigen, which can result in potentially life-threatening reactions. It is often challenging to differentiate food allergy from other adverse reactions to food because their presentations can be indistinguishable. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the classification, evaluation, and management of adverse food reactions, key differentiating features of food allergy, roles and limitations of various food allergy testing, and promising areas of emerging research.

Autoantibodies to transglutaminase 2 (TG2) are hallmarks of celiac disease. To address B cell tolerance and autoantibody formation to TG2, we generated immunoglobulin knock-in (Ig KI) mice that express a prototypical celiac patient-derived anti-TG2 B cell receptor equally reactive to human and mouse TG2. We studied B cell development in the presence/absence of autoantigen by crossing the Ig KI mice to Tgm2-/- mice.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a syndrome characterized by gastrointestinal and extraintestinal manifestations triggered after gluten ingestion in the absence of celiac disease and wheat allergy. Because of the lack of biomarkers for NCGS diagnosis, the cornerstone for its assessment is a single- or double-blind placebo-controlled (DBPC) gluten challenge. However, there are some non-standardized points in the diagnostic approach proposed by the experts.
