It is recommended that children and adolescents with symptoms of celiac disease or an increased risk for Celiac disease have a blood test for antibody to tissue transglutaminase (TTG), and that those with an elevated TTG be referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist for an intestinal biopsy and treated with a strict gluten-free diet.
Spectrum of gluten-related disorders: consensus on new nomenclature and classification
This review will summarize the current knowledge about the three main forms of gluten reactions: allergic (wheat allergy), autoimmune (celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis and gluten ataxia) and possibly immune-mediated (gluten sensitivity), and also outline pathogenic, clinical and epidemiological differences and propose new nomenclature and classifications.

The results suggest that CD occurs frequently not only in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, but also in first- and second-degree relatives and patients with numerous common disorders even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.

The current gold standard for the diagnosis of CD remains histologic confirmation of the intestinal damage in serologically positive individuals, and the keystone treatment of CD patients is a lifelong elimination diet in which food products containing gluten are avoided.

A multidisciplinary task force of 16 physicians from seven countries used the electronic database PubMed to review the literature for CD-related terms and suggested a definition for each term, followed by feedback through a web survey on definitions and discussions during a meeting in Oslo.

It is predicted that EAST1 stimulates the particulate form of guanylate cyclase through the same receptor-binding region as STa and guanylin, a mammalian analog of STa.
Zonulin and its regulation of intestinal barrier function: the biological door to inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer.

This new paradigm subverts traditional theories underlying the development of these diseases and suggests that these processes can be arrested if the interplay between genes and environmental triggers is prevented by reestablishing the zonulin-dependent intestinal barrier function.

The multi-level mechanisms underlying SCI and several risk factors that promote this health-damaging phenotype, including infections, physical inactivity, poor diet, environmental and industrial toxicants and psychological stress are described.
Divergence of gut permeability and mucosal immune gene expression in two gluten-associated conditions: celiac disease and gluten sensitivity

This study shows that the two gluten-associated disorders, CD and GS, are different clinical entities, and it contributes to the characterization of GS as a condition associated with prevalent gluten-induced activation of innate, rather than adaptive, immune responses in the absence of detectable changes in mucosal barrier function.
