Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Celiac disease is commonly diagnosed in Western Europe, but is rarely identified in the United States, even among persons descended from European immigrants. The possible reasons for this difference in clinical recognition include: U.S. physicians may often fail to detect typical celiac disease; celiac disease may be common but causes atypical or mild symptoms; or the disease may actually be uncommon due to the influence of unknown environmental factors. http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DK-99-015.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
