Celiac Disease affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide and can present at any age, frequently with very subtle, atypical or at times entirely non-GI symptoms. The presentation can be extremely diverse and may involve a variety of organ systems. If not recognized and effectively treated, multiple potentially serious complications can develop. Primary care clinicians are often the initial point of contact, and we need to know the common presenting symptoms, which tests should be ordered when we suspect the disease and when a referral is necessary. We also play a role in long-term management by monitoring for nutritional deficiencies, bone integrity, and the patient’s adherence to a gluten-free diet. In this podcast, we’ll explore Celiac Disease with my guest, Dr. Joseph Murray, a gastroenterologist from the Mayo Clinic, and a nationally recognized specialist in Celiac Disease. We’ll focus on practical information you can apply to your practice.
