Celiac disease is a well-recognized cause of malabsorptive diarrhea, which responds to a strict, gluten-free diet. The availability of noninvasive, serologic testing has revealed a higher prevalence of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic celiac disease than previously recognized. Untreated symptomatic celiac disease is associated with substantial morbidity and increased mortality. It is unclear whether undiagnosed celiac disease is also a cause of increased mortality.
