This time from the military. Interestingly, viral gastroenteritis was more commonly associated with celiac than bacterial. I wonder if the vaccines the armed forces receive might be a confounding factor.

Susie,
You're quite correct. Research done 25 years ago discovered a connection. Actually, the peptides may not be identical, but they are so close that molecular mimicry may be the mechanism by which they are connected.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Interesting thought. I suppose it's possible.Tex
