Screening for Celiac Disease in a North American Population: Sequential Serology and Gastrointestinal Symptoms

Abstract

Screening for celiac disease was widely accepted in this preventative health-care setting. Undiagnosed celiac disease affects 1 in 126 individuals in this Wyoming community. Most were asymptomatic or had atypical presentations. Serologic testing can readily detect this disease in a general population.
