In the below referenced video, I discuss celiac disease. I review how you might develop this condition under the influence of genetics and gluten ingestion. I discuss the common sources of gluten. I discuss methods of making the diagnosis of celiac disease. I report that this condition is very common, underrecognized, and increasing in incidence. I review common symptoms that children and adults experience when they have celiac disease. I review a list of some of the additional medical conditions that are seen in conjunction with celiac disease. I review the similarity between diabetes mellitus type 1 and celiac disease. I discuss the fact that celiac disease significantly worsens the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus type 1. I discuss how gluten elimination can improve diabetes mellitus type 1 control. I discuss new areas of research in CD8 T cells and mast cells with relation to celiac disease. I also discuss the way celiac disease can result in many symptoms that can delay diagnosis and treatment.
