As both diagnosis and prevalence of celiac disease reaches new heights, gastroenterologists are at the center of diagnosis and treatment, which are both currently limited by available technologies.
In this month’s cover story, experts such as Daniel A. Leffler, MD, MS, director of clinical research at The Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, weigh in on changes coming in diagnosis beyond the gold standard of biopsy as well as drug therapy, a hopeful path relieving patients from a restrictive diet of avoiding gluten.
Also in this month’s publication, you will find Meeting News Coverage from the 10th Congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation in Barcelona, Spain, showing what our readers deemed the most important from the latest data out of Europe.
In May, Healio Gastroenterology will be onsite at Digestive Disease Week in Washington, D.C. We invite you to use this opportunity to interact with us outside of the website by following our coverage at Twitter.com/HealioGastro and sharing those stories you feel will have the most impact on your daily practice.
