  2. 1. Food Antigen Sensitivity in Coeliac Disease Assessed by the Mucosal Patch Technique

    Author : Guðjón Kristjánsson; Roger Hällgren; Per Venge; Riccardo Troncone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Coeliac disease; Diagnostic instrument; food hypersensitivity; gut pathophysiologi; inflammation; nitric oxide; rectal instillation; gluten; corn; milk hypersensitivity; inflammatory bowel disease; irritable bowel syndrome; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : A diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) in adults relies on the presence of a structurally abnormal intestinal mucosa, followed by a clear clinical remission on a gluten-free diet. There is a clear need for a rapid, simple, safe and sensitive method to determine the type and intensity of inflammation in the gut mucosa in clinical practice. READ MORE

  4. 2. Gut Mucosal Reactivity to Gluten and Cow´s Milk Protein in Rheumatic Diseases

    Abstract : In the present studies we have explored the link between food hypersensitivity and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and evaluated treatment options in primary and recurrent disease. Approximately one third of our IgAN patients had a rectal mucosal sensitivity to gluten, as demonstrated by increased local mucosal nitric oxide production and/or myeloperoxidase release after gluten challenge.
