Consequences
If undiagnosed, may develop:- Infertility and miscarriage Osteoporosis (at diagnosis 40%
osteopaenia). Need DEXA. T cell lymphomas of small bowel (red
flag is symptom recurrence despite gluten free diet).

All tests loose their usefulness if patient has already started a gluten free diet.
Serological testing. Endomysial antibodies Tissue transglutaminase antibodies Both of these are more sensitive than
antigliadin antibodies
Diagnosis
![Page 8: Coeliac Disease Eileen Parrott. Very common. We all miss opportunities to diagnose. At least 1% of population. Runs in families. Peak incidence currently.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d095503460f949da8b2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Positive antibody test needs a gastro referral.
Diagnosis is confirmed with endoscopy and multiple duodenal biopsies.
Patient must continue to eat gluten until biopsies are done.
Endoscopy

Permanent gluten free diet. Clinical improvement within weeks. Exclude wheat, barley, rye. Some also argue need to exclude oats
(as 20% are contaminated with wheat). Expert dietician input required. Patient adherence poor (only around
60%).
