Most doctors learned in medical school that celiac disease is a rare condition causing diarrhea in babies. But worldwide, one person in 100 risks severe health consequences just by eating foods the rest of us enjoy every day: pizza, pasta, bagels or bread. The great majority of adults with celiac disease are undiagnosed; the average length of time it takes a sufferer to get the correct diagnosis is 9 years. We’ll learn about the consequences of celiac disease and the development of new treatments for this chronic and underappreciated condition.
Guest: Peter Green, MD, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. He is a professor of clinical medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and attending physician at the New York Presbyterian Hospital. His book is: Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic, co-written with Rory Jones. His Web site, with information on the celiac disease symposium, is www.celiacdiseasecenter.org
