Celiac disease (CD) affects an estimated 1 in 133 persons in
the U.S. with 97% undiagnosed. The average number of years
to diagnose a symptomatic person is 11; average number of
pediatricians a child will see prior to diagnosis, 8; and, only 35%
of patients experience chronic diarrhea. Consider celiac disease.
The disease can manifest in nearly any organ system, often
leading to missed or delayed diagnosis with potentially serious
consequences. This evidence-based activity will outline the
clinical presentation, risk factors, diagnostic strategies and
treatment considerations for the disease.
