Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Joe Vacari discusses celiac disease. He explains that celiac disease is an immune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically predisposed individuals, causing damage to the mucosal layer of the small intestine. He highlights that high-risk groups for celiac disease include first and second degree relatives of patients, individuals with type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroiditis, Down syndrome, and Turner syndrome. Symptoms of celiac disease include GI manifestations like diarrhea and malabsorption, as well as extra intestinal manifestations like anemia and osteoporosis. The diagnostic workup involves serologic testing and duodenal mucosal biopsies. The management of celiac disease involves consultation with a dietician, education, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, treatment of nutritional deficiencies, access to an advocacy group, and continuous follow-up. The video concludes with a reminder about the annual GI practice provider course.
