Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is a chronic disorder of the digestive tract that results in an inability to tolerate gliadin, the alcohol-soluble fraction of gluten. (medscape.com)
It's also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy. (webmd.com)
Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that the timing of gluten exposure does not affect the likelihood of developing celiac sprue in children at high risk for the condition. (medscape.com)
The first study, which examined whether early exposure to gluten was protective against celiac sprue, involved 944 children who were positive for the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype DQ2 or DQ8 and had at least one first-degree relative with celiac sprue. (medscape.com)
The children were followed up at age 3 years, at which time the cumulative incidence of celiac sprue was 5.9% in the gluten group and 4.5% in the placebo group. (medscape.com)
It was also found that among girls, the cumulative incidence of celiac sprue was higher in the gluten group than in the placebo group (8.9% vs 5.5%), although no such difference found between boys in the two groups. (medscape.com)
Another finding was that the duration of breastfeeding (ie, whether the breastfeeding was exclusive or whether it continued during gluten introduction) had no significant effect on the development of celiac sprue. (medscape.com)
More than 550 children who were positive for HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 and had at least one first-degree relative with celiac sprue were randomized to be introduced to gluten-containing food at either age 6 months or age 12 months. (medscape.com)
Celiac sprue autoimmunity was also more prevalent by age 2 years in the early gluten group than in the late group (16% vs 7%, respectively), but again evened out (21% vs 20%, respectively) by age 5 years. (medscape.com)
Thus, the later introduction of gluten in this study did not seem to affect the risk of celiac sprue but may have delayed its onset, with the median age of diagnosis being 26 months in the early group and 34 months in the late group. (medscape.com)
Similarly to the first study, the duration of breastfeeding did not appear to affect the celiac sprue risk in either group. (medscape.com)
