Children who were diagnosed with celiac disease as part of a mass screening program had improved symptoms, quality of life and iron levels one year later, according to research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).
The incidence rate of celiac disease has increased over the past two decades, largely driven by diagnosis of children from six to ten years old, according to a study based on Minnesota electronic health records and presented at Digestive Disease Week.
Children and adults with celiac disease have an increased risk of autoimmune arthritis and early diagnosis is important for effective treatment
In children on the gluten-free diet who had no symptoms but whose celiac disease blood tests and biopsies showed active celiac disease a cow's milk protein allergy might be to blame, researchers at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease report in the findings from four case studies.

Children who had no symptoms but were diagnosed with celiac disease as part of a mass pediatric screening program reported a better quality of life overall after a year on the gluten-free diet, preliminary results of a study funded by Beyond Celiac show.
Intestinal changes that occur before the development of celiac disease in at-risk children have been identified in a new study. The results are promising for potentially identifying ways to intervene before celiac disease develops, according to study authors.
