Celiac Disease Testing
Celiac disease is a chronic
digestive problem that affects the lining of the small intestine and blocks
absorption of nutrients from food. The condition is characterized by a sensitivity
to gluten (found in wheat, barley and rye) that causes inflammation and atrophy
of the villi of the small intestine.
The disease is under
diagnosed and may affect as much as 1% of the population oin the United States.
If this disease is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to malnutrition
and other serious problems.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation for celiac disease, more tests, diagnosis by your physician, in addition to Private MD's recommendations.
