I thought I should post to tell a little bit about what I have been going through: It all started in October 2006. I have been extremely exhausted. I get about 10 hours of sleep and still want more. I went to U of M to find out what is going on. After 4 or 5 blood tests, ct scan, bone density scan, colonoscopy and endoscopy, four breath tests, camera capsule. They finally came to some of the diagnosis. 1. I have Nonresponsive Celiac Disease. the disease is not going in dormant stage like it should when a person is on a Gluten-Free Diet. Also it is attacking all over. From my heart, lungs. 2. Positive Antibody for either Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis . 3. I have to have hiatal hernia surgery because of the sever heartburn and chest pain I am getting. Nexium doesn't help anymore. My surgery is coming up and then I will have to go through lots of tests for Lupus and RA. Hopefully this will come to an end. This will be my eighth surgery in four years.

A small percentage of patients diagnosed with celiac disease fail to have a long-term favorable response to a strict gluten-free diet. These individuals continue to have symptoms and histologic abnormalities or have symptomatic relapse despite treatment with gluten-free diet and ultimately develop a potentially life-threatening disease known as refractory sprue. Based on data reported in recent studies, the majority of patients with refractory sprue have abnormal intraepithelial lymphocytes and a poor prognosis. The current hypothesis is that refractory sprue represents a transition state to intestinal lymphoma. The true prevalence of this disease entity is unknown. Future multicenter trials are therefore warranted to estimate its prevalence and establish clear therapeutic guidelines. I ntroduction Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Based on current knowledge, the initial step in disease pathogenesis is the deamidatio
