Abstract

Celiac disease (CD) is associated with activation of the immune response toward specific protein commonly known as gluten, Which causes damage to the small finger-like projections called villi. Samuel was the first person who describes the disease in the year 1887. The given review article describes various factors which are associated with CD such as genetic factors, environmental factors and proteins. Chronic diarrhea, Hypochromic anemia, Short stature, Bone loss, Recurrent abortions, Hashimoto’s disease, etc are some common clinical manifestation. Along with clinical manifestations, we will also discuss the diet for the patients and treatment approaches.
