Celiac Disease
April 30, 2019
I often see patients with autoimmune disorders (Link to autoimmune blog) such as Rhematoid Arthritis and Hashimoto Thyroiditis with significant gastrointestinal complaints. Because Celiac Disease is a cause of chronic leaky gut and is associated with the development of other autoimmune disorders, I think it is good practice to screen my patients for Celiac Disease and food intolerances (Link to food intolerance blog).
Celiac Disease affects roughly 1.4% of the world’s population.
