Abstract

Celiac disease is common, affecting approximately 1 in 100 people, yet it remains underdiagnosed. This article reviews our current understanding of celiac disease, diagnosis, and common pitfalls. Although the cornerstone of treatment is a gluten-free diet, some patients may still have persisting symptoms and warrant further investigations.
