: I was aware of what celiac sprue was.  My GI doc, and a dietician, spent all of 15 minutes explaining this to me.  That was the sum total of my medical advice.
  I am curious about one comment, however.  In your listing of other possibilities, you mention Collagenous Sprue.  I have check NIH & NIDDK. Neither had this in their references.  I did find a comment that Collagenous refers to abnormal strands of collagen.
  Could their be a connection between this theory and the adhesions I have had recurring problems (including an adhesiotomy) with?

Dear Mithranda,
In collagenous sprue fibrous tissue is deposited under the mucosa causing an impairment of absorption.  The collagen does not disappear when omn a gluten free diet. I think that you require an extensive dietary consultation to understand what foods you can eat.
There is no relationship between collagenous sprue and adhesions.
