Abstract
Objectives: Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. Bone fracture risk is increased in coeliac disease, but little knowledge exists about bone complications in DH. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of hip and other hospital-treated fractures in DH and coeliac disease in a high prevalence area with good adherence to a gluten-free diet. Materials and methods: Hip, proximal humerus, wrist and ankle fractures in 368 treated DH and 1076 coeliac disease patients between 1970 and 2015 were reviewed from the National Hospital Discharge Register. Hip fracture incidence rates for DH and coeliac disease patients were compared to those for the general population. The overall fracture risk for DH was compared to coeliac disease. Results: The hip fracture incidence rates for DH and coeliac disease patients did not differ from the general population. In females aged 80-89, the hip fracture incidence was higher in DH than in coeliac disease, but the risk for any hospital-treated fracture was lower in DH compared to coeliac disease (adjusted HR 0.620, 95% CI 0.429-0.949). The DH and coeliac disease patients with hospital-treated fractures were diagnosed at an older age, but the degree of small bowel mucosal damage did not significantly differ between patients with and without fractures. Conclusion: The incidence of hip fracture is not increased in treated DH or coeliac disease in an area with high awareness and dietary compliance rates. However, patients with DH seem to have a lower risk for fractures overall compared to coeliac disease.

Abstract
Celiac disease patients may suffer from a number of extra-intestinal diseases related to long-term gluten ingestion. The diagnosis of celiac disease is based on the presence of a manifest small intestinal mucosal lesion. Individuals with a normal biopsy but an increased risk of developing celiac disease are referred to as potential celiac disease patients. However, these patients are not treated. This review highlights that patients with normal biopsies may suffer from the same extra-intestinal gluten-induced complications before the disease manifests at the intestinal level. We discuss diagnostic markers revealing true potential celiac disease. The evidence-based medical literature shows that these potential patients, who are “excluded” for celiac disease would in fact benefit from gluten-free diets. The question is why wait for an end-stage disease to occur when it can be prevented? We utilize research on dermatitis herpetiformis, which is a model disease in which a gluten-induced entity erupts in the skin irrespective of the state of the small intestinal mucosal morphology. Furthermore, gluten ataxia can be categorized as its own entity. The other extra-intestinal manifestations occurring in celiac disease are also found at the latent disease stage. Consequently, patients with celiac traits should be identified and treated.
