PREVIEW

Celiac disease, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, classically presents as diarrhea and weight loss in childhood, but it may also have protean manifestations and appear well into adult life. The increasing availability of noninvasive blood tests that are highly sensitive and specific for celiac disease enables primary care physicians to recognize the disorder in a wide variety of clinical situations. The authors believe that the disease is more common than supposed and thus offer this diagnostic review to increase awareness.
