2011, Primary Care - Clinics in Office PracticeCitation Excerpt :Histologically evident celiac disease should be adequately evaluated in such patients with multiple intestinal biopsies, however, because the histologic abnormalities can be patchy.60 Patients with refractory sprue fall into 2 clinical categories61: patients who have no initial response to a gluten-free diet and patients who experience initial clinical improvement on a gluten-free diet but after a period of remission develop disease refractory to gluten abstinence. Refractory sprue has also been subdivided into 2 immunologic categories62:

2009, Best Practice and Research: Clinical GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Indirect pancreatic function tests such as the 13C-mixed triglyceride breath test may help to confirm and to quantify nutrient maldigestion and malabsorption. In children with coeliac disease determination of fecal chymotrypsin seems to be a predictor for weight gain under gluten free diet (patients with low chymotrypsin display lower weight gain) [79] and may therefore help to guide therapy. Pancreatic disorders are considered to be an extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and patients have a markedly increased risk for developing acute pancreatitis.
