    Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Celiac Disease Patients

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 03/26/2007 - In is known that increased duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are more common in celiac patients with Helicobacter pylori gastritis (H. pylori) than in those celiacs without Helicobacter pylori. It is also known that the elimination of Helicobacter pylori can reverse this problem.

    The study was motivated by the following two hypotheses:

    • Celiac patients with Helicobacter pylori might present different clinicopathological profiles from those celiacs without H.pylori.
    • Celiac patients with Helicobacter pylori might show different histopathological responses to a gluten-free diet than those celiacs without H.pylori.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The research team compared the duodenal and gastric biopsies of 80 adults who had histologically and serologically confirmed celiac disease. The biopsies were taken both before and after patients had adhered to a gluten-free diet for 12 to 18 months.

    The team classified and scored gastritis using the Updated Sydney System. They classified duodenal biopsies using both the Marsh-Oberhuber and a simplified classification developed by the team.

    Three test subjects who were positive for Helicobacter pylori, and 12 who were negative (a total of 15 test subjects), presented with lymphocytic gastritis.

    Overall, a greater proportion of Helicobacter pylori-negative patients had severe villous atrophy (p

    Regardless of their initial Helicobacter pylori status, all subjects showed marked improvement of duodenal aspects following a gluten-free diet (p

    With the exception of the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), which returned to normal in two Helicobacter pylori-positive patients, and in ten Helicobacter pylori-positive patients, gastric variables remained unchanged.

    The study concludes that Helicobacter pylori gastritis is not related to the clinical features of celiac disease, and that a gluten-free diet is equally effective for both groups.

    The study also notes that the inflammatory and structural changes to the mucosal architecture that are associated with celiac disease might eclipse some of the signs of lymphocytosis induced by Helicobacter pylori gastric infection.

    The study also further documents the pathogenic connections between celiac disease and lymphocytic gastritis.

    I'm 41 years old and was diagnosed about 8 years ago. Neither my parents have had symptoms but have both been tested (blood only). They both came back with negative results. So how did I developed this? Is spontaneous gene mutation a possibility?? And if so, how does this happen? In layman terms please.

    One or both of your parents have a celiac gene, but that doesn't mean that they will go on to develop the disease. Only one out of five people who have a one or more celiac genes goes on to develop celiac disease.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Am J Gastroenterol. 2004 May;99(5):894-904 Celiac.com 06/08/2004 – To determine what triggers celiac disease, researchers recently used an electron microscope to look at the jejunal biopsies of several groups of children: A group with untreated celiac disease, one with treated celiac disease, another with challenged celiac disease, and a healthy control group. The researchers discovered rod-shaped bacteria attached to the small intestinal epithelium in both the treated and untreated celiac-disease groups, but not in the healthy control group.
    The researchers conclude: "Unique carbohydrate structures of the glycocalyx/mucous layer are likely discriminating features of celiac disease patients. These glycosylation differences could facilitate bacterial adhesion. Ectopic production o...

    Gastroenterology Volume 129, Issue 3, Pages 786-796 (September 2005) Celiac.com 09/14/2005 - Researchers have long thought that the resistance of gliadin prolamines to digestive enzymes is a primary contributor to celiac disease—which leads to the intestinal permeability and inflammation in those who are at risk. Taking prolyl-endopeptidase enzymes (PEP) orally has been proposed and explored as a possible treatment for celiac disease (including extensive research done at Open Original Shared Link). In an effort to determine the feasibility of such a treatment, researchers in France conducted both in vitro (outside a living organism) and ex vivo—using biopsy specimens of active celiac disease patients—studies on the effects of PEP on gliadin peptides.
    For the in vitro studi...

    Gluten Can Cause GI Symptoms in People Who Don't Have Celiac

    Celiac.com 06/22/2011 - Gluten intolerance among people who do not have celiac disease seems to be an increasing reality, yet scientists have not been able to find any evidence explaining it. A team of researchers in Australia noted that the question of whether gluten can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms and/ or induce injury to the proximal small intestine had never been directly assessed. So, they set out to assess it. Their results are published in the January 11, 2011 issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology. They conclude that “non-celiac gluten intolerance” may in fact exist, although they were unable to discern the potential mechanism.

    Celiac.com 10/26/2011 - In vitro and in clinical studies have shown that oxidative stress plays a role in gluten-induced toxicity,  but no studies have observed this activity in living tissue.
    A research team set out to examine the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor2 in gliadin-mediated toxicity in human Caco-2 intestinal cells and in gliadin-sensitive human leukocyte antigen-DQ8 transgenic mice (DQ8), along with assessing the protective activity of CLA.
    The research team included Paolo Bergamo, Marta Gogliettino, Gianna Palmieri, Ennio Cocca, Francesco Maurano, Rosita Stefanile, Marco Balestrieri, Giuseppe Mazzarella, Chella David, and Mauro Rossi.
    The team had previously observed the protective role played by conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which works by the ...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      That's interesting because I think that the lousy 81 mg irritates my gut. I'm sensitive to drugs in general and blood thinners are all the same to me so aspirin necessary evil. As they say, better to be a live chicken than a dead duck.

      Water filters and gluten

      I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues. I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can...

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      Welcome to the forum, @aperlo34! You said you had a colonoscopy "ordered" in July? Has that procedure happened yet? A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease so I assume the order for the colonoscopy is to check for something else. The procedure used to diagnose celiac disease is the endoscopy. So, I assume you have had blood antibody testing...
