Purpose: Celiac disease (CD) is a permanent immune reaction to gluten that is likely related to genetic factors. Some studies have linked CD to adverse maternal and/or neonatal outcomes but the data has been contradictory. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CD on pregnancy outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We used data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project-Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) of the USA to conduct a population-based retrospective cohort study of women who delivered between 1999 and 2014. Pregnancies were categorized as having CD if corresponding ICD-9 code was present. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate the adjusted effect on maternal and fetal outcomes.

Results: There were 14,513,587 births during the study period of which 2755 were to women with CD, for an overall prevalence of 1.9 cases/10,000 births and with rates increasing over the study period. Women with CD tended to be older, Caucasian and to have pre-existing comorbidities, especially other autoimmune diseases. Women with CD were at greater risk of hyperemesis gravidarum, 4.52 (3.68-5.57), colitis, 7.56 (3.14-18.20), and venous thromboembolic events, 2.93 (2.07-4.15), as well as, hospital stays >3 d, 2.06 (1.75-2.43). Infants of women with CD were more likely to be growth restricted, 1.80 (1.46-2.21) and have congenital malformations, 3.51 (2.68-4.58).

Conclusions: CD in pregnancy is associated with increased adverse maternal and newborn complications. These pregnancies should be considered high risk and may benefit from increased surveillance.

Among the possible adverse reactions to gluten, celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and IgE-mediated wheat allergy have been classically described. A non-IgE-mediated reaction similar to food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) after inadvertent gluten ingestion in a celiac patient was recently reported. We present three children affected by celiac disease with exquisite control, including appropriate adherence to an exclusion diet, who suffered a severe adverse food reaction after unappreciated outdoor ingestion of gluten, meeting the criteria for a definitive diagnosis of FPIES.

Celiac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated enteropathy with symptoms triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. The only available management option is lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study tested the effects of the cathepsin S inhibitor RO5459072 on the immune response to a 13-day gluten challenge in 19 participants with celiac disease (ClinicalTrials.

Background&aims: Celiac disease (CD) and potential CD (pCD) are immune-mediated disorders triggered by the ingestion of gluten. In non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) neither allergic nor autoimmune mechanisms are involved. Relationships between NCGS and CD need to be further investigated.

Physical and psychological symptoms and survey importance in celiac disease.

World J Gastrointest Endosc

Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, United States.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects approximately 1% of the worldwide community. Originally thought to be confined mostly to the small intestine, resulting in villous atrophy and nutrient malabsorption, it has more recently been implicated in systemic manifestations as well, particularly when undiagnosed or left untreated. Herein, the physical and psychological symptoms of celiac disease are described and explored.

Olmesartan-Induced Enteropathy: A Rare Case of Chronic Diarrhea.

Case Rep Med

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Gastrocentro Natal, Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

The case involves a 63-year-old hypertensive man, taking antihypertensive medication (olmesartan) for the previous two years, who sought medical attention due to voluminous diarrhea, with several episodes per day and weight loss of 10 kg. He was submitted to a series of diagnostic procedures without elucidation and empirical treatment with unsuccessful outcome. After hospitalization for clinical stabilization and for presenting with duodenal atrophy, obtained by duodenal biopsy associated with negative markers for celiac disease, the patient was diagnosed with suspected olmesartan-induced enteropathy, showing rapid improvement of diarrhea after the drug was withdrawn, with weight regain in 6 months and normalization of the duodenal histological picture after 10 months.
