" (Greco, Troncone, Auricchio and Marsh, 2002) This group is reported to have been "reevaluated during the teenage period in terms of compliance with the diet and clinical state." (Greco, Troncone, Auricchio and Marsh, 1991) Assessments included those related to Mucosal structure and lymphocytes "in small intestinal biopsy specimens obtained from 36 subjects, by computerized image analysis." (Greco, Troncone, Auricchio and Marsh, 2002) of the adolescents with celiac disease, it is reported that 65% of the adolescents adhered to a strict gluten-free diet while 11.4% were on a gluten-free diet except for occasional gluten intake and 23.6% were on a gluten containing diet. The study reports "Clinical symptoms occurred more frequently in patients on a gluten containing diet, but not in patients on a semi-strict diet. Occasional intake of small amounts (0.06-2 g/day) of gluten did not produce increased concentrations of antigliadin antibodies but resulted in an appreciably increased crypt epithelial volume and expanded crypt intraepithelial lymphocyte population." (Greco, Troncone, Auricchio and Marsh, 2002)
Summary and Conclusion
It is clear that for individuals with celiac disease, a gluten-free diet is critically important to avoid many possible conditions that stem from celiac disease and the ongoing consumption of gluten in the diet of the individual with celiac disease. While there is a great deal that is yet to be understood about celiac...

Effective Clinical Practice. 5 (3): Key areas of research SPECIFIC DATA ANALYSIS Overview of celiac disease with a focus on patient consequences and lack of treatment options. Limited, in this case. Brief overview, but no substantial literature review presented. Used Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale (GSRS) and Psychological General Well-Being Questionnaire (PGWB) to establish quality of life index. Analysis of data based
When processed by a transglutaminase enzyme, it can interact with immunological cells and produce cytotoxic inflammation. In autism, it is believed that peptides from gluten and casein cross the intestinal microvillus barrier and enter the blood stream. They also cross the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, certain amino acid sequences of these peptides compete with natural peptides, which bind to opioid receptors. These receptors are G-protein receptors in cell
Complementary and Alternative Medical Methods, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Eating Habits and Mealtime The objective of the research in this study is to answer in what ways do complementary and alternative medical methods provide permanent treatment alternatives for autistic behavior in children ages 3 to 8. Children with ASD are reported to have "complex feeding issues that go beyond normal fussy eating behaviors. They also do not usually respond to commonly used behavioral
Interstitial Cystitis In addition to the therapeutic armamentarium, CAM reported to have a great role to treat interstitial cystitis (IC). It is multimodal and individualized and includes various treatment methods including: Neuromodulation, dietary modification, acupuncture, surgical methods, medications etc. The objective of this literature review is to discuss the possible causes of the IC, diagnosis, prevalence, the symptoms, and CAM treatment options. Interstitial cystitis (IC) also called as painful bladder syndrome is
The association among celiac disease and these other diseases may be hereditary. The diseases include things like diabetes, autoimmune liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroid disease, Addison's disease, which is a circumstance in which the glands that make vital hormones are harmed and Sjogren's syndrome, which is a circumstance in which the glands that make tears and saliva are damaged (Celiac Disease, 2008). What are some possible treatments for this
Living a Healthy Lifestyle It is feared that the current generation will be the first to be less, rather than more healthy than its parents' generation, thanks to the growing crisis of obesity and inactivity. A number of government websites exist specifically designed to promote a healthier lifestyle, most notably the White House's 'Let's Move' campaign. Let's Move is specifically devoted to preventing childhood obesity and provides a variety of resources
