Abdel Hai, A: Diabetic Children and Celiac Disease

The Celiac Disease Foundation can offer assistance with information and treatment. Celiac disease is not a serious disorder when diagnosed early and removed gluten from the diet, but otherwise it has a serious consequences especially with type 1 diabetes. Children may be presented showing stunted growth (which can be permanent) if not treated and can increase risk of infection, malignancy, osteoporosis and neurological disorders.
