Jejunal villous atrophy and granulomatous inflammation responding to a gluten--free diet.

A 48 year old female patient with intestinal malabsorption and subtotal to total jejunal villous atrophy also had granulomatous inflammation characterised by numerous epitheloid and giant cell granulomas in the stomach, the jejunum, and the liver, On a gluten-free diet a complete remission was achieved that included disappearance of the granulomatous inflammation. It is suggested that the granulomas in this case were manifestations of the gluten intolerance.

Dumping following partial gastrectomy.

The incidence of dumping has varied from 1 to 75% in a number of reported series. The discrepancy probably depends mainly on different definitions of the dumping syndrome. In the present work, the clinical diagnostic index (CDI) first proposed by Sigstad in 1968, has been used in a follow-up study of 241 patients after gastric resection for ulcer disease. 86% of the patients were satisfied with the result of the operation. Dumping occurred daily in 14.1% and 19.5% had the symptoms occasionally. The differences in the frequency of dumping after BI and BII resection were not statistically significant, gastro-jejunal fixation (GJF) and the position of the anastomosis had no influence on the prognosis.
