A 2-year study in the July 2006 Endoscopy showed older celiac patients on
a gluten-free diet have an incomplete histological recovery even after 2
years. "Only the younger patients (5 - 30 years) showed significant
improvement of histology within 12 months (P < 0.034); older patients (>30
years) showed histological improvement but this was not statistically
significant, even after 24 months on a GFD." This study was also
previously discussed in an article by Dr. Antonio Tursi in the Spring 2006
Celiac.com Scott-Free Newsletter.
This also means increased intestinal permeability and associated problems
such as liver damage may continue to be a lasting problem in older
patients beyond 2 years on a GF diet.
