Brief Summary
Celiac disease is the most common genetically related food intolerance, worldwide. It is an immune mediated intolerance to gluten (from wheat, barley, or rye) in genetically susceptible individuals .The disease primarily affects the small intestine, where it progressively leads to flattening of the small intestinal mucosa .

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
measure of Anti- tissue will be performed to calculate the post-test probability of celiac disease.
tTG are regarded as qualitative, i.e., positive or negative.Values of tTG between 2 and 7 U/mL will be considered as doubtful positive, and those of 7 U/mL or more as positive. cut-off of ≥7 U/mL will be used in this study.

Study Arms (2)
anti-tissue transglutaminase group
serum IgA-tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG) was analyzed in serum using a quantitative automated ELISA method by means of a commercially available detection kit using recombinant human tTG as antigen recommended cut-off by the manufacturer \> 8 U/mL).
biopsy group
upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination will be done and the jejunal histopathological examinations will be done at the Histopathology Laboratory. The features consistent with CD included: hyperplasia of crypts, atrophy of villous, and increase of intraepithelial lymphocytes.Duodenal samples will be processed using haematoxylin/eosin staining and CD3 immunophenotyping. The number of intra-epithelial lymphocytes (IEL), the architecture of villi, and the inflammatory cell infiltration of the lamina propria will be assessed. Histopathological changes will be classified according to the Marsh-Oberhuber criteria.Lymphocytic enteropathy (Marsh 1 lesion) was defined as 25 or more IEL per 100 epithelial nuclei, and normal villous architecture.
Interventions
Determination of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies serum level.
Intestinal biopsy for histopathology study the jejunal histopathological
Eligibility Criteria
All patients in this research will be subjected to : Besides meticulous history and thorough clinical examination, all the cases will be subjected to the following investigations : * Complete blood count. * Determination of electrolytes serum levels: Na, K, Mg, Ca and Ph. * Liver function tests. * Determination of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies serum level. * Intestinal biopsy for histopathology study the jejunal histopathological * examinations will be done at the Histopathology Laboratory. * The features consistent with CD included: hyperplasia * of crypts, atrophy of villous, and increase of intraepithelial * lymphocytes.
You may qualify if:
- patients with symptoms suggestive of celiac disease
You may not qualify if:
- chronic active gastrointestinal disease, i.e., irritable bowel syndrome inflammatory bowel disease .
