Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a chronic and multiorgan autoimmune disease that affects the small bowel in genetically predisposed persons due to the ingestion of gluten.1 It can present a wide range of symptoms such as anemia, vague abdominal symptoms, esophagitis, neuropathy, ataxia, depression, short stature, osteomalacia, and multiple others.1 For the majority of patients, their celiac disease remains undiagnosed.1
