Coeliac disease was long regarded as a rare childhood disease. This data was based on the occurrence of manifest disease and more classical presentation forms of coeliac disease. The discovery of the various coeliac disease-specific antibodies and population screening studies over recent years have revealed that coeliac disease is far more common than previously thought.
In common with other autoimmune conditions, it is more prevalent amongst women than in men, with up to twice as many women affected [1]. A study published by Catassi and colleagues in [2] revealed that the incidence of coeliac disease has increased fivefold in the last 25 years. Europe and the United States, where the diet is traditionally based on foods containing gluten, are among the regions with the highest prevalence.
A recent study conducted in a paediatric population in Scotland demonstrated a 6. An increase in disease awareness and improvement in diagnostic techniques may largely help to explain these changes. Whilst there has been a four-fold increase in the rate of coeliac diagnoses over the past two decades, approximately , people remain undiagnosed [5].
