It begins at the cricoid cartilage (Adam&#8217;s apple) as a continuation of the pharynx and ends at the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The LES is a circular muscle surrounding the junction of the esophagus and stomach.\u00a0The LES opens to allow swallowed food and liquids to enter the stomach and closes to prevent their travelling back into the esophagus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) occurs when the inside diameter of the esophagus constricts to less than 14 millimeters. First there is difficulty swallowing solid food then liquids and saliva due to progressive growth of the cancer.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Esophageal Small Cell Carcinoma In Celiac Disease and\/or Gluten Sensitivity?<\/h2>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_check red\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Esophageal small cell carcinoma is a major complication with significant morbidity in celiac disease.<a href=\"#footnote_1_288\" id=\"identifier_1_288\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Green PH, Fleischauer AT, Bhagat G, Goyal R, Jabri B, Neugut AI.

This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both esophageal and gut health.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gut health is the foundation to restore ALL health. Restored health will enable you to maintain a strict gluten free diet, just as other life tasks will be easier.<\/li>\n<li>A strict gluten free diet means removing 100% of wheat, barley, rye and oats from the diet.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting out bread and other obvious sources of gluten is not good enough for recovery. Even 1\/8th teaspoon of flour or bread crumb is enough to sustain the inflammation that is damaging your small intestine, causing increased permeability (leaky gut) and allowing undigested gluten to enter your body where it can damage structures and function, and instigate immune inflammatory responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Correct Your Individual Nutritional Needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Eat foods that can replenish missing nutrients.
