Abstract

Celiac disease is characterized by an aberrant immune response to the storage proteins (gluten/gliadin) of wheat, rye, and barley, with wheat as the most immunogenic protein. The resultant inflammation in the proximal small intestine leads to the destruction of villi, resulting in malabsorption, and leading to a range of symptoms including diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, and failure to thrive. Celiac disease develops in only a minority of genetically susceptible individuals. Initiation is frequently in childhood but can be at any age. Small bowel biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Treatment involves adherence to a strict gluten-free diet.
