Four Different Types Of Celiac Disease?
Did you know that celiac researchers now believe there are four different types of celiac disease? I find this a little odd because I know of at least one more serious one — non-responsive celiac disease.

In this video Dr. Vikki Petersen talks about a 2013 study published in BMC Gastroenterology that focused on patients with non-responsive celiac disease. The study talks about the possible benefits of a temporary more restrictive diet for patients who are non-responsive to a standard gluten-free diet.
Celiac disease is strongly associated with certain forms of cancer. Find out which cancers are involved and what you can do to greatly minimize your risk. The association grows stronger with poor diagnosis and poor treatment. Read on to learn what leads to poor diagnosis and poor treatment and what you can do about it.
Since celiac disease symptoms occur as a result of consuming gluten, people often categorize celiac disease (CD) as a digestive disorder. But the symptoms are actually the result of an autoimmune disease, and often the most insidious and serious signs aren’t as tangible and immediate as various intestinal discomforts. CD may also manifest itself very differently in different people, so it is difficult to use a checklist of symptoms to identify this condition.
In many cases celiac disease symptoms in adults can be particular difficult to discern as many adults have slowly become accustomed to subtle discomforts. Among gluten sensitivity issues, celiac disease symptoms remain the most severe and consequential. Unfortunately, they are not always easy to identify or understand. And latent celiac disease may also occur, where the symptoms of celiac disease in adults occur but then fade.
