Popis: This chapter introduces the concept of gluten-related disorders, including celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy. Gluten-related disorders are a growing concern as they are becoming more prevalent with time. Diagnostic criteria for celiac disease have been changed over the past few years as a result of the advances and accuracy of new immunological diagnostic tests and better understanding of the genetic predisposition. Nevertheless, many patients remain underdiagnosed, and the overlap between the various gluten-related disorders is still controversial.
