Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by intolerance to gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. It is evoked on clinical and biological grounds and confirmed by serological tests and histology. It generally has a favorable evolution. The gluten-free diet is the treatment for this pathology. It allows the restoration of endoscopic lesions and consequently the improvement of the deficiency syndrome. However its evolution can be enamelled by complications of which the most dreadful remains the lymphomatous transformation. Compliance with the gluten-free diet is therefore a major therapeutic objective to ensure a good quality of life and avoid complications.
