Microscopic (collagenous) colitis [PDF]
We encountered two patients with microscopic colitis diagnosed by biopsies performed on the basis of barium enema findings. In both cases, the mucosa appeared normal at endoscopy. To our knowledge, these cases are the first published examples of the radiographic appearance of this ...

Complete Histological Resolution of Collagenous Sprue
A 65-year-old woman developed a watery diarrhea syndrome with collagenous colitis. Later, weight loss and hypoalbuminemia were documented. This prompted small bowel biopsies that showed pathological changes of collagenous sprue.

PROTON-PUMP INHIBITORS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF MICROSCOPIC COLITIS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE [PDF]
Background: Microscopic colitis is a relatively new diagnosis that was first described in the 1980s. Patients usually present with chronic watery and non-bloody diarrhea and are typically characterized by an unremarkable gross appearance of the colon on ...

Unrestricted faecal calprotectin testing performs poorly in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in patients in primary care [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Faecal calprotectin (FC) measurement distinguishes patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from those with irritable bowel syndrome but evidence of its performance in primary care is limited.

Physiological concentrations of bile acids down-regulate agonist induced secretion in colonic epithelial cells [PDF]
In patients with bile acid malabsorption, high concentrations of bile acids enter the colon and stimulate Cl− and fluid secretion, thereby causing diarrhoea. However, deoxycholic acid (DCA), the predominant colonic bile acid, is normally present at lower
