Where’s the Wheat? Managing celiac disease in the small college setting Presented by Marty Reuman Pieper, MSN, FNP-BC Bentley University Gerri Taylor, MSN, ANP-BC Bentley University Deanna Busteed, MS, RD, CSSD, LD
Answer: Everywhere
Why here and now? • Given average delay in diagnosis, may be diagnosed in college students • College students are (newly) responsible for food choices – at dining services, choosing snacks, buying groceries • Undiagnosed celiac disease is associated with a 4x increased risk of death • Prevalence has increased dramatically
Prevalence of Celiac Disease • Commonly estimated at ~1% of Americans • Equals ~3 million people • Only ~1-5% have been diagnosed • ~10% among first degree relatives • Up to ~75% in identical twins • Female : Male :: 2:1 • Cultural demographics • More likely to occur among Europeans • Probably underestimated in many countries
Perspectives • Compare to • Rheumatoid arthritis (~1% of Americans) • Epilepsy (~1% of Americans) • Diabetes – type 1 and 2 (8% of Americans) • Type 1 diabetes effects ~2 million Americans • Autoimmune diseases effect 8% of Americans

Pathophysiology of Celiac Disease From JAMA Patient Page Sept 2009
Pathophysiology • Autoimmune disorderwith environmental trigger • Abnormal response to gluten protein • Genetic component • Occasional triggers • Infection • Physical injury or surgery • Pregnancy • Severe stress
Clinical Presentation “Classic” – gastrointestinal symptoms Chronic diarrhea 45-85% Fatigue 78-80% Abdominal pain and bloating 34-64% Weight loss or low weight 45% Constipation 12-38% Vomiting 5-16%
Clinical Presentation (continued)“Atypical” – non-GI symptoms Fatigue, malaise 78-80% Osteopenia up to 40% Dermatitis herpetiformis 15-25% Iron deficiency anemia 10-15% Neurological dysfunction 8-14% Short stature 10% Osteoporosis 1.5-3%
Clinical Presentation (continued) • “Silent” • Asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic individual • Positive serology / mucosal damage • Discovered through screening or during evaluation for another disease • “Latent” • Previous celiac diagnosis that responded to management; then asymptomatic with normal diet • May have positive serology • Normal mucosa • Progresses to celiac disease over time
Associated with other conditions • Other autoimmune disease [30%] • Thyroid disease [up to 14%] • Type I diabetes [up to 12%] • Infertility, repeated miscarriages [2-4%] • Down syndrome [3-12%] • Turner’s syndrome [2-10%]
Complications • Chronic malabsorption of nutrients and vitamins • Osteoporosis • Infertility / repeated miscarriages • Risk of certain malignancies • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Others of GI tract • Risk of developing another autoimmune disease
Differential Diagnosis • Irritable bowel syndrome • Inflammatory bowel disease • Intestinal infections • Iron deficiency anemia • Chronic fatigue syndrome • Thyroid disease • Eating disorder
Diagnosis of Celiac Disease • Index of suspicion • History of symptoms • Symptoms • Onset / duration • Character / severity / frequency • Patterns / timing • Aggravating or alleviating factors • Any food intolerances or lactose intolerance
Past Medical History • Any other diagnoses – current, during childhood • IBS, Crohn’s, “nervous stomach”, recurrent gastroenteritis • Pancreatitis, hepatitis • Autoimmune diseases – • Thyroid, diabetes, liver disease • Rheumatic diseases – Sjogren’s, fibromyalgia • Chronic fatigue or syndrome • Anemia • Osteoporosis or osteopenia • Cancer – NHL, GI • Infertility
Pediatric History • Records from pediatrician • History including particularly • Failure to thrive • Diagnoses considered in past • Pertinent labs • Growth chart
Family History • Celiac disease • Other intestinal diseases • Autoimmune diseases • Thyroid disease • Diabetes • Genetic syndromes
Physical • Height; weight; vital signs • General • Skin • HEENT • Abdomen • Musculoskeletal • Neurological • Gynecological
Laboratory studies • Bloodwork • Anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies • Endomysial antibodies (EMA) • Deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) antibody • Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) – not as accurate • Endoscopy with biopsies = gold standard • Marsh stages 0-4 • Other labs as indicated by symptoms
NIH Consensus Statement Identifies six key elements for management: • Consultation with a skilled dietitian • Education about the disease • Lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet • Identification and treatment of nutritional deficiencies • Access to an advocacy group • Continuous long-term follow up by a multidisciplinary team http://consensus.nih.gov/2004/2004CeliacDisease118PDF.pdf
Support from a team is KEY!!! Living with a chronic disease is hard! Lifestyle changes are hard!
Clinical follow-up • Consider the whole patient • Observe for change in symptoms over time • Evaluate for possible complications of disease • Supplement to address vitamin and mineral deficiencies • Follow-up – no specified timeline • Review knowledge of celiac disease • Re-assess lab values • Reinforce management of gluten-free lifestyle
Patient Education • Determine level of understanding • Disease process • Complications and risks • Benefits of following a restrictive diet • Identify potential barriers to optimal control • Time constraints • Social and emotional implications • Financial burden of compliance • Implications for family members • Gluten Free Lifestyle and Diet
