Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Joe Vacari discusses celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. It causes damage to the mucosal layer of the small intestine. High-risk groups include relatives of celiac disease patients, individuals with type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroiditis, and Down and Turner syndromes. There are different types of celiac disease, including classic, atypical, latent, and refractory. Symptoms can include diarrhea, malabsorption, weight loss, anemia, deficiencies in B12 and folate, and osteoporosis. Diagnosis involves serologic testing and duodenal mucosal biopsies. The management of celiac disease is summarized in the acronym CELIAC: consultation with a dietician, education, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, identification and treatment of nutritional deficiencies, access to an advocacy group, and continuous long-term follow-up. The video concludes by promoting the annual GI practice provider course.
