Celiac.com 06/28/2004 – The results of this study indicate that the damage caused by celiac disease can be more extensive than once thought, and that it likely affects the entire small bowel, rather than just the lamina propria and crypt regions. These results also give gastroenterologists more tools for discovering the disease, as they can now find indications of it when doing a colonoscopy, which is typically done to screen for other disorders such as colon cancer. If all gastroenterologists follow these new recommendations it will speed up a celiac disease diagnosis for many people, and will also help prevent missed diagnoses.
