Gluten, major histocompatibility complex, and the small intestine: A molecular and immunobiologic approach to the spectrum of gluten sensitivity (‘celiac sprue’)

TL;DR: The nature and basis of nonresponsive celiac sprue require more thoughtful initiatives to elucidate the immunologic mechanism(s) of unresponsiveness and evaluate possible means of reversal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Gluten Intolerance in Celiac Sprue

TL;DR: A 33-mer peptide was identified that has several characteristics suggesting it is the primary initiator of the inflammatory response to gluten in Celiac Sprue patients, and could be detoxified in in vitro and in vivo assays by exposure to a bacterial prolyl endopeptidase, suggesting a strategy for oral peptidase supplement therapy for CeliacSprue.

ACG Clinical Guidelines: Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease

TL;DR: Given the incomplete response of many patients to a GFD-free diet as well as the difficulty of adherence to the GFD over the long term, development of new effective therapies for symptom control and reversal of inflammation and organ damage are needed.

Current approaches to diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease: An evolving spectrum☆

TL;DR: 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.
