About
The purpose of this study is to see if it makes sense to test people for celiac disease who have a first or second degree relative (parent, sibling, child, grandparent, aunt or uncle) with celiac disease. The investigators will check to see what differences there are in the health and quality of life between those who know they have celiac disease and start the gluten free diet and those who do not.
Full description
Our overall hypothesis is that first and second degree relatives of individuals with celiac disease benefit from screening and diagnosis of celiac disease. Secondary hypotheses are:
Aim 1. Determine the effect of screen detected celiac disease on health related quality of life.
Aim 2: Assess the effect of screen detected celiac disease on nutritional and metabolic indices.
Aim 3: Evaluate the reliability of using serologic tests in combination with intestinal fatty acid binding protein vs. intestinal biopsy to confirm celiac disease diagnosis in adults.
