Overview
A minority of patients suffer from refractory disease, which means that they do not improve with a gluten-free diet. Pharmocotherapy is used if alternative causes are eliminated and dietary modification is not beneficial. Pharmacotherapy include steroids, azathioprine, cyclosporin, and monoclonal antibodies.
Medical Therapy
Refractory disease
A minority of patients suffer from refractory disease, which means they do not improve on a gluten-free diet. This may be because the disease has been present for so long that the intestines are no longer able to heal on diet alone or the patient is not adhering to the diet, or the patient is consuming foods that contain gluten. Pharmacotherapy is used if dietary modification is not effective.[1]
