精确的诊断

我们在乳糜泻诊断方面处于全国领先地位. We work with experts from 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 GI pathology and laboratory medicine to deliver an accurate diagnosis. 在检查您的症状和病史后，我们可能会建议:

血液测试: 这些测试筛选与乳糜泻相关的特定抗体.

基因检测: 这些测试寻找使你患乳糜泻风险更高的标志物.

内镜下小肠活检: 寻找乳糜泻的典型炎症, we may recommend a 胶囊内窥镜 (you swallow a pill-like device with a tiny camera that takes pictures of your GI tract). Or we may use 小肠镜深, which uses a long, flexible tube with a camera and small tools.

Our experts are highly skilled at distinguishing between gluten-associated disorders that may be causing your symptoms. These include celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, fructan intolerance and wheat allergy. 这些疾病的治疗方法各不相同，因此准确的诊断至关重要.

我们治疗与谷蛋白相关的疾病

Our specialists are uniquely qualified to treat the full range of gluten-associated conditions. 我们提供全面的治疗:

乳糜泻

乳糜泻是最常见的自身免疫性疾病之一. It is a chronic digestive disorder that causes inflammation in the small intestine. This inflammation happens after eating gluten (protein fragments of wheat, rye and barley). 麸质会导致乳糜泻患者产生异常的免疫反应. 这种疾病往往会在家族中遗传，这意味着它可能会遗传.

乳糜泻的症状和体征包括:

• 腹部肿胀
• 便秘
• 腹泻
• 乏力
• 不孕不育
• 缺铁性贫血
• 营养不良
• 神经系统的改变，比如神经病变、偏头痛和情绪障碍
• 骨质疏松症
• 减肥 

非乳糜泻谷蛋白/小麦敏感性(NCGS)

Unlike celiac disease, NCGS is not an autoimmune disorder and is not inherited. 吃了谷蛋白之后, NCGS患者的症状与乳糜泻相似, 但这种疾病不会损害肠道.

非乳糜泻谷蛋白敏感的症状包括:

• 腹痛或痉挛
• 腹泻和便秘
• 气胀
• 精力不足
• 精神疲劳(“脑雾”)

小麦过敏和食物不耐受

Wheat allergy and other food allergies result from an abnormal immune response to a specific food. The immune response can cause a rash and hives, breathing problems, 呕吐 and diarrhea. We work closely with our colleagues in allergy-immunology to treat these issues.

其他消化系统疾病

我们有治疗复杂和罕见消化系统疾病的经验. 我们的专家采用先进的成像技术, 胶囊内窥镜, 小肠镜深, 以及其他用于诊断和治疗的评估:

自身免疫性肠下垂, a rare disorder that causes excessive diarrhea and leads to severe malabsorption. With special antibody testing and endoscopy evaluation, we diagnose and manage your condition.

CVID-enteropathy, damage and irritation in the intestines that is associated with common variable immune deficiency (CVID), 一种增加感染风险的疾病.

嗜酸性GI疾病(EGID或既往嗜酸性胃肠炎); a rare spectrum of diseases that can affect the esophagus (eosinophilic esophagitis), 胃(嗜酸性胃炎), 小肠和/或结肠(嗜酸性肠炎和/或结肠炎).  取决于疾病的部位, 症状可能包括吞咽困难, 胃灼热, 恶心想吐, 呕吐, 腹泻和腹痛. 治疗通常包括新的药物和/或消除饮食.

胃肠道的条件, 包括胃食管反流病(胃酸反流或GERD)和IBD.

微观结肠炎, 一种导致水样腹泻的炎性肠病(IBD). This condition includes two sub-types: lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. 不像溃疡性结肠炎或克罗恩结肠炎, the inflammation in the colon can mostly be seen only with a microscope and therefore requires biopsies during a colonoscopy.

肥大细胞活化综合征(MCAS); 引起反复出现的过敏症状和腹泻的疾病.
