Abstract

The chapter sets out the definition and history of the description of coeliac disease. It proceeds to describe the epidemiology, pathology, dermatitis herpetiformis, cereal chemistry, toxicity studies, hypothesis for the pathogenesis, genetics, clinical features, physical disorders of bone metabolism, laboratory investigations, diagnosis, disease association, treatment and complications.
