gluten in the blood than controls. This increases the risk of asthma, anaphylaxis and dermatological conditions.
Dermatitis herpetiformis
''Triticeae'' glutens are the primary cause of ''dermatitis herpetiformis''(DH). Epidermal transglutaminase (eTG) is related to tTG and is the autoantigen of DH. It appears that all DH patients have or are susceptible on wheat ingestion to CD. Within CD DH is relatively rare or underdiagnosed with about 5% of patients having DH. Aphthous stomatitis is a common mouth lesion found with celiac disease.Atopy, urticaria, eczema
Chronic ''urticaria'' has been seen in a few cases of CD. and are likely the result of fortuitous allergies to wheat, or allergies secondary to GSE. Atopy disorders have been found to be more common in celiacs and in first degree relatives.. Celiac disease is associated with a number of epidermal conditions including PsoriasisRare dermatitis
''Prurigo nodularis''. ''Prurigo nodularis'' has been identified with coeliac diease.. Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, or [http://www.emedicine.com/DERM/topic379.htm poikiloderma congenitale], is a rare disorder, generally attributed to mutations of the RECQL4 helicase gene on 8q24 with features that include photosensitivity and poikilodermatous skin changes, etc., and has been reported in one celiac patient.Alopecia areata
GSE has been found to be associated with ''alopecia areata'' (patchy baldness) whereas regrowth did not necessarily occur on a gluten free diet.Adapted from the Wikipedia article Gluten-sensitive enteropathy associated conditions, under the G.
