What is Coeliac Disease?
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Celiac disease affects the gastrointestinal tract - especially the small intestines. It is seen in genetically predisposed children and adults.
The symptoms are usually precipitated by the ingestion of gluten-containing foods. Alternative names for celiac disease are celiac sprue, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and nontropical sprue.
