From Latin for Glue
Glue in Latin is "gluten," the offending agent in Celiac disease. The first image shows dermatitis herpetiformis, erythematous papules, vesicles, or bullae that itch and burn intensely. The second image is a duodenoscopy showing scalloping of folds and "cracked-mud" appearance of mucosa. The third image shows blunting of villi, crypt hyperplasia, and lymphocyte infiltration. All these are consistent with celiac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
