Virus may lead to celiac disease through disruption of intestinal immune homeostasis
10 Apr 2017by Heather Galipeau
A new study published in Science by Bouziat and colleagues show that reovirus, which are mild or clinically silent viruses that infect humans frequently over the course of a lifetime, can break tolerance to dietary proteins and may constitute an environmental modifier for CeD development.
Bacteria from celiac patients influence gluten’s digestion and its ability to provoke an immune response
10 Oct 2016by Heather Galipeau
Gluten is highly resistant to digestion by human digestive enzymes; however, digestion of gluten by intestinal bacteria has recently been described.
Digestive Disease Week 2016 was held in San Diego during the month of May, where the role of the intestinal microbiota in health and disease continues to be a major topic in gastroenterology.
Paula Crespo Escobar on Coeliac Disease Risk, Gut Microbiota, and Effects of a Gluten-Free Diet
22 Jun 2016by Andreu Prados
At the 7th edition of the latest Spanish Society of Probiotics and Prebiotics (SEPyP)’s annual workshop, which was held on Seville (Spain) on January, 28-29th under the theme: “Probiotics, Prebiotics and Health: Scientific Evidence”, Paula Crespo took the time to speak with GMFH editors.
A recent study of humans with celiac disease who were treated with helminths raised the possibility that an increase in microbial species richness (i.e. the number of different species present) could regulate gluten-induced inflammation in the gut.
Digestive Disease Week AGA Symposium: Celiac Disease and Gut Microbiota
20 Jul 2015by Stefan Jellbauer
Quality and quantity of gluten, maturity of gut functions influencing antigen trafficking and handling (e.g. pattern recognition receptors and barrier function) and changes in microbiome composition are factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.
Genes contribute to the risk of celiac disease (CD), but the role of environmental factors, including perturbations in gut microbiota, is so far unclear.
