Video Summary

In this video, Joe Vicari discusses a case of a 40-year-old white female with celiac disease who has been experiencing watery diarrhea for eight weeks. Despite being strictly adherent to a gluten-free diet, her symptoms persist. Various possibilities are considered, including ulcerative colitis, medication-induced diarrhea, celiac disease, and microscopic colitis. Based on the absence of other symptoms, lack of medication use, and normal celiac serology, the most likely cause is determined to be microscopic colitis. The video provides an overview of microscopic colitis, its diagnosis through histology, its association with celiac disease, and the treatment options for controlling diarrhea.<br />Credits: This video is presented by Joe Vicari and is part of the ASGE APP course.
