Popis: Celiac disease (celiac sprue, gluten-sensitive enteropathy) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the small intestine mucosa and is clinically manifested by bowel symptoms of various severities. However, it may have also a number of extraintestinal manifestations which prevail in adulthood, and as a result the disease goes unnoticed. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition induced by gliadin fraction of gluten, protein that can be found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and oat, in genetically predisposed individuals – HLA DQ2 or DQ8 carriers [3, 11, 17].
