..Our findings suggest that clinicians treating patients with eating disorders or celiac disease should be aware of both conditions to provide optimum care...

..The literature suggests a lack of consensus on the use of terms related to coeliac disease (CD) and gluten...

..The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of larazotide acetate in protecting against gluten-induced intestinal permeability and gastrointestinal symptom severity in patients with celiac disease...

..Adenoma detection rate is an important measure of colonoscopy quality; however, factors including procedure order that contribute to adenoma detection are incompletely understood...

..The aim of this study was to determine the common etiologies of NRCD in a tertiary referral center...

..Although the incidence of celiac disease (CD) is increasing, studies have been hampered by the lack of validated outcome measures. We sought to create a disease-specific Celiac Symptom Index (CSI) to reliably assess relevant symptoms...

..Failure to develop specific antibody response has recently been identified as a critical factor in recurrence. The review discusses the different management strategies for initial and recurrent symptomatic C difficile infections...

..The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable Celiac Dietary Adherence Test (CDAT)...

..Data on complications of gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are limited. We evaluated prospectively the incidence and cost of hospital visits resulting from outpatient endoscopy...

..We tested the effectiveness of a novel follow-up system for patients due for surveillance colonoscopy examinations...

..The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing gluten-free diet adherence in adults with celiac disease...

..The only accepted treatment for coeliac disease is lifelong adherence to a strict gluten-free diet (GFD). Individuals' ability to adhere to the GFD varies, but systematic studies guiding the assessment of adherence are currently lacking...

..In addition, a gluten-free diet is highly burdensome and can profoundly affect patients and their families. For these reasons, care of individuals with celiac disease requires prompt diagnosis and ongoing multidisciplinary management...

..We discuss the need to develop tests for CD activity in order to assess the efficacy of upcoming nondietary therapies...

..Coeliac disease is increasingly diagnosed and weight changes are common after adoption of a gluten-free diet (GFD), however data on body mass index (BMI) changes are limited...

..This study aimed to develop a prediction rule for recurrent CDI using the above derivation cohort and prospectively evaluate the performance of this rule in an independent validation cohort...

..To determine whether personality traits and psychological characteristics are related to gluten-free diet (GFD) adherence in an adult population diagnosed with celiac disease (CD)...

..The purpose of this study was to learn what difference this new approach made...

..Our study underscores the fundamental link between teachers and students as partners in curricular development...

..Larazotide acetate is a first-in-class oral peptide that prevents tight junction opening, and may reduce gluten uptake and associated sequelae...

..Duodenal villous atrophy (DVA) is a key diagnostic finding in coeliac disease (CD). However, the differential diagnosis for this finding is broad...

..The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of gastric emptying studies on the morbidity associated with diabetic gastroparesis...

..To improve awareness of this condition and to facilitate diagnosis, we reviewed cases of celiac crisis to identify presenting features, formulate diagnostic criteria, and develop treatment strategies...

..However, case finding in individuals with risk factors for celiac disease is recommended. Further study is necessary to define diagnostic algorithms and target populations likely to benefit from testing...
