Celiac Disease: Beyond Bowels, Blood & Bones
Celiac disease. One in 132 Americans has it. We know about the malabsorption, the anemia, the osteoporosis associated with celiac disease. But what of associations with neurological disease, reproductive health, and other organ systems? What DON’T you know about this common condition?
The GERD, The Bed, & the Ugly: Nighttime Gastroesophageal Reflux
Nocturnal GERD may be more important than daytime GERD in the development of severe GERD-related complications; and up to 80% of refluxers describe nocturnal symptoms. Nighttime reflux is associated with a 11x risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, as well as sleep disturbance and respiratory symptoms.
