Hujoel IA(1), Murray JA(2). The outlook for people with celiac disease varies.

Non-responsive celiac disease is defined as continuing to have persistent symptoms, elevated antibodies or small intestinal damage even after following a strict gluten-free diet for six to 12 months. Celiac disease is a digestive disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in foods that contain wheat, barley or rye. Patients do not complain of any symptoms, but still experience villous atrophy damage to their small intestine. A 1939 study showed the prognosis for children with celiac disease was dismal. Celiac disease (also known as celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy) is a digestive and multisystem disorder. Celiac disease is treated by strict avoidance of any foods that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Gluten is a protein in wheat, and is in bread, cereal and other grain-based foods. There are two steps to finding out if you have celiac disease: screening and diagnosis. Almost all of people who have celiac disease carry a gene for the disease that can be passed on to their children.

It occurs in genetically predisposed individuals and triggers an abnormal immune response that injures the intestinal mucosa. Celiac sprue, also known as celiac disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and gluten-induced enteropathy, is a chronic disease of the digestive tract that interferes with the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.

This is a substance that is found in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats.

This damage comes from a reaction to eating gluten.

Together, these outnumbered the 17.3% who were underweight.

People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, barley, and in some products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms. Presentation is varied and ranges from diarrhea and failure to thrive, to iron-deficiency anemia or osteoporosis.

After adequate treatment and regular medical follow-up, the prognosis is excellent. The prognosis for patients with celiac disease who are not responding to gluten withdrawal and corticosteroid treatment is generally poor. Multisystem means that it may affect several organs.
; People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein commonly found in wheat, rye, barley, and to some degree, oats.

The prognosis for patients with correctly diagnosed and treated celiac disease is excellent.

Celiac disease is common, affecting up to 1% of the general population, and may present at any age.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of refractory celiac disease, with a specific emphasis on recent literature.
Symptoms greatly improve for most people with celiac disease who stick to a gluten-free diet. Gluten is a protein found naturally in wheat, barley, and rye that triggers a reaction if you have celiac disease.

Celiac disease affects nearly 3 million Americans.

Presentation is varied and ranges from diarrhoea and failure to thrive, to iron-deficiency anaemia or osteoporosis.
