For Medical Professionals
"Many physicians consider celiac disease exceedingly rare because they say they have never seen someone present with it. But with such varied symptoms, celiac disease is being missed or misdiagnosed."
National Institutes of Health Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign
The health consequences of untreated celiac disease can be serious, disabling or even deadly. At the same time, advances in diagnostic tools and the widespread popularity of gluten-free foods makes it relatively easy for doctors to diagnose celiac disease, and for celiacs to maintain a healthy and satisfying gluten-free diet.
