Dr. Parikh does a deep dive into the histopathology of Celiac disease with Dr. Anshu Trivedi- a gastrointestinal pathologist with Eastern Connecticut Pathology Consultants and the medical director of Connecticut GI Pathology Laboratory. Dr. Trivedi explains how gluten results in an immune reaction which causes inflammation in the small intestine. They also discuss what happens when a patient with Celiac disease continues to expose themselves to gluten, the role of repeating endoscopic biopsies, and novel point of care diagnostic tests.
