Microscopic colitis can cause chronic watery diarrhea yet have a normal-looking colon at endoscopy, so diagnosis is often delayed — even in younger adults. Recognizing this may lead to earlier biopsy and treatment.
The paper identifies subtype-specific changes in enteric glial cells and mast cell activity in microscopic colitis and shows some treatment-associated reductions after budesonide; that helps explain disease biology and...
Biopsy-based keratin patterns might help distinguish IBD, microscopic colitis, and IBS—conditions that can look similar clinically—so this could improve diagnostic accuracy if validated.
People labelled with IBS-D may actually have treatable organic conditions that require different tests and treatments; avoiding diagnostic mistakes can speed appropriate care and reduce unnecessary symptom-focused...
The study suggests most adults with chronic diarrhea in this tertiary setting had organic/inflammatory disease and identifies accessible clinical and lab predictors that could help prioritize endoscopic evaluation.
People with celiac disease may have higher risks for several digestive cancers and for inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s and UC) according to this large French cohort study. Knowing these associations can help...
