Celiac Disease - A Chronic Enteropathy, Its Management with an Emphasis on Probiotics
Author(s) : Gayathri Devaraja*; BS Rashmi
Celiac Disease (CD) is a form of chronic enteropathy affecting the small intestine in genetically predisposed individuals expressing HLA DQ 2 and DQ 8 molecules. The disease is precipitated by the ingestion of gluten and related cereal proteins derived from barley and rye containing foods [1]. Often CD referred to gluten sensitive enteropathy, celiac sprue and non tropical sprue. This disease was first described in the 2nd century AD by Aretaeus Cappadocia who used the Greek term ‘koeliakos’ meaning ‘sufferings of the bowel’ [2]. Later in 1880, British physician Samuel Gee, clinically described CD “as a kind of chronic indigestion which has met with persons of all ages, yet it is especially apt to affect children between one and five years old, correctly surmised that errors in diet may perhaps be a cause, but could not pinpoint the true nature of the disease” [3].
