Coeliac disease is a permanent, autoimmune disorder caused by an intolerance to gluten which is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. Coeliac disease (pronounced see-lee-ak) is a permanent intestinal intolerance to dietary gluten.In coeliac disease the cells lining the small bowel (intestine) are damaged and inflamed.This causes flattening of the tiny, finger like projections, called villi, which line the inside of the bowel.oeliac disease is treated by a life-long gluten free diet. By specifically removing the cause of the disease, this treatment allows all abnormalities, including the lining of the small bowel to recover completely.
Conclusions: Coeliac disease may affect the entire small bowel. Increased IEL density in the terminal ileum is associated with duodenal VA and should prompt a search for coeliac disease by serology and duodenal biopsy. Conversely, a normal IEL count does not allow the exclusion of coeliac disease with confidence.
