Abstract:
CD is an immune-mediated enteropathy caused by genetically predisposed individuals eating gluten-containing foods (Catassi et al., 2007; Celiac Working Group et al., 2008; Green & Cellier, 2007; Hill et al., 2005). There are several endocrine disorders that are associated with CD. In many of these cases, CD does not present with the typical gastrointestinal symptoms. Nurses working with children who have endocrine conditions need to consider CD as part of the differential and follow-up care plan. This awareness will facilitate more efficient diagnosis and minimize the risk of conditions associated with untreated CD.
