This book is intended as a guide for the diagnosis and management of children with celiac disease. It is an excellent learning resource suitable for students and health care providers in the fields of pediatrics, pediatric gastroenterology and pediatric endocrinology. Celiac disease is discussed in detail; gluten allergy and the so-called non-celiac gluten sensitivity are also briefly described. Besides the clinical aspects of the disease, the reader will find suggestions for the correct diagnosis and follow-up of short stature and other celiac related endocrine conditions. This book provides a thorough and critical update on the current knowledge of this unique autoimmune disease. (Imprint: Nova Biomedical )
