Patients suffering from which of the following condition(s) can get symptomatic relief by consuming a gluten-free diet? 1. Coeliac disease 2. Peptic ulcer disease 3. Dermatitis herpetiformis Select the correct answer using the code given below:
1 and 3 only
Coeliac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy that improves with a gluten-free diet, and dermatitis herpetiformis is its cutaneous manifestation, driven by the same gluten sensitivity, which also responds to gluten withdrawal. Peptic ulcer disease is caused mainly by H. pylori infection or NSAID use and is unrelated to gluten intake. Hence statements 1 and 3 only are correct.
With regard to Helicobacter pylori eradication in peptic ulcer disease, consider the following statements:
1. Proton-pump inhibitor is taken with two antibiotics.
2. Treatment is prescribed for at least 7 days.
3. Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection leads to vitamin B12 deficiency.
4. Patients requiring long-term NSAIDS should undergo Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy to reduce ulcer risk.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
