The role of gluten, milk, and other dietary proteins in chronic or intermittent dyspepsia.

Abstract

In twenty‐seven patients with chronic or intermittent dyspepsia raised levels of the gamma‐M‐globulin and of the α1‐ and of the α2‐globulin were encountered. Malabsorption, present in about three‐quarters of the cases, was usually mild. Various degrees of villous abnormalities were seen but no flat mucosa. Eight patients also had dermatitis.
