Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Celiac disease is an inflammatory condition of the small intestine, induced by gluten. It has diverse clinical manifestations that resemble a multi-systemic disorder rather than a primary intestinal disease. Originally considered a rare disease of childhood, celiac disease is, however, now recognized as a common condition that may be diagnosed at any age. http://www.celiacdiseasecenter.columbia.edu/A_Patients/A03-WhatAre.htm

Celiac Disease: One of the Most Common Conditions You've Never Heard Of The symptoms of celiac disease are not always the expected gastro-intestinal ones. Sasha and Kevin Wade were concerned when their son Luke's performance at school suddenly declined in first grade. He seemed fine physically but was having trouble concentrating. He withdrew socially and his grapho-motor skills, which had been fine, fell behind. His teachers noted that he frequently seemed tired, sometimes even falling asleep at his desk, despite having had a full night's sleep. The family put Luke through many tests and psychiatric evaluations and even considered Ritalin as a possible treatment for his attention issues if symptoms did not improve. At the last moment, Sasha took her son to one more doctor. Luke was ultimately diagnosed with celiac disease. Once he started a gluten-free diet, he experienced a dramatic turnaround. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050802/nytu167.html?.v=14
