Webinar
Celiac Disease: A Common Genetically Influenced Disease
Register to watch on demand (1 hour, 2 minutes)
The prevalence of gluten-related disorders is on the rise and more people are adopting a gluten-free diet with or without signs and symptoms for any form of gluten sensitivity.
Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease with long term consequences if left untreated. Delineating celiac disease from non-celiac gluten sensitivity is important for risk stratification and appropriate management, including its implications for families.
Listen to Dr. Peter Green, Director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York, as he reviews current evidence regarding the health effects, diagnosis and treatment for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
In addition, audience questions that were submitted live are addressed at the end of the webinar.
This webinar is designed for primary care practitioners and all allied health professionals.
